PAUL YUEN
B.S.Sc., M.S.W., M.B.A.
President
"As a youth worker for 40 years, I believe adolescence as the most critical stage with significant impacts on character, value and goal formation. How a young person spends his/her high school years sets important foundations in life. Our team of professionals—teachers, counsellors, advisors, tutors, coaches, IT specialists and other technical staff—all work together to create a nurturing and learning community for future global citizens."
CATHY LEE
Candidate, EdD
Principal - Academics
"My previous training in counselling, education, policy and administration informs my holistic approach to high school education. At Bodwell, a strong focus on student learning, teacher-student interaction, authentic assessment and timely feedback guides all school programming. Important goals for our students include English proficiency, high academic grades, personal growth and developing a global outlook."
STEPHEN GOOBIE
B.Sc.(Hons.), B.Ed., M.Ed.
Principal - Student Life
"A transformative education which helps young people ask big questions, expose common assumptions about the world, critically examine society, and cultivate empathy and responsibility is the ultimate goal. As an educator, a commitment to transformative education is my personal and professional mission."
HOUSAM HALLIS
B.Sc.(Hons.), B.Ed.
Vice Principal / Math & Science Team Lead
"I am proud to work with outstanding counsellors and teachers, enabling students to reach our high academic standards while striving to achieve their goals of higher education."
JERI CANDERAN
B.Ed., ESL, Special Ed
Asst. Principal - Academic & English Preparation Program / AEP Team Lead
"All classrooms should be positive, nurturing environments where students enjoy learning and expressing themselves confidently and intelligently. – It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge – Albert Einstein."
JANA WHITE
B.A., M.Ed.
Asst. Principal - Language Arts / English Team Lead
"Having worked in many different roles throughout my educational career, I know how valuable encouragement and support are for student motivation and learning. As an English teacher and team leader, my job is not only to help students understand and appreciate literature, but also to assist them in learning about language; develop skills they need for writing as an adult; and allow them opportunities to practice social interaction through a variety of well-structured activities."
JAMES BURNETT
B.A., B.Ed.
Director of Athletics
"As an avid sportsperson, I welcome the opportunity this year to expand and develop the Bodwell Sports Program. As a former athlete on several American National Sports Teams, it is a pleasure to be teaching and coaching at Bodwell."
JENS NISSEN
B.Mus., B.Ed.
Asst. Principal of Boarding
"I love teaching as I get to witness that “AHA!” moment when students are able to put the practical and the theoretical together to show understanding of the material. When this happens, students are empowered and show that they can go further than they thought possible. This is the power of education."
