I love meeting new students as they join our community and watching their journey unfold. From the first day, students know they can seek support, guidance, and care as they grow.
Mr. Stephen Goobie
Head of School
From new student orientation to graduation, as a counsellor, it has been a joy to be a part of each student’s journey. Bodwell High School provides a rich and dynamic environment for students before they move towards a post-secondary education.
Ms. Meghan Dalziel
Head Counsellor
The best thing about working with new students is seeing them grow to reach their full potential. Self-actualization of who they are as people inside in and outside the classroom is what's most important to me as an educator.
Mr. Johnson Chiu
Teacher & Athletics Coordinator
We look forward to welcoming you
