WELLBEING

At Bhavani School, we believe an exceptional education for life not only focuses on academic skills but emotional and physical wellbeing as well. We know that in order to succeed, our students must feel supported and settled in their environments.

The wellbeing of each student is managed within a ‘triangle of care’. Parenting from a distance can be difficult and staff encourage regular and open communication to ensure that all needs are met. Consistent with our push for student agency, boarders are invited to direct the course of their wellbeing pathway with the guidance of a Wellbeing Coach.

The role of the Wellbeing Coach is unique within the BS-CFL framework, as it is designed to benefit the student in a personalized, collaborative, and confidential manner. Through active listening and collaboration, coaches come together to design and implement small and full cohort group activities and programs that are directly responsive to the needs of each cohort.

Our new Phoebus Centre is at the heart of the wellbeing agenda at Bhavani School. Available to boarders on Saturdays and some nights after school, the center features a pool, multipurpose courts, a gym, and indoor recreation center (Available on all days) .

Keeping in mind our goal to promote individual personal development, our boarding provision contributes effectively to providing students with the skills and knowledge necessary to live their lives to the full.

Boarding staff are supposed to know each boarder well individually and provide a high level of care for them.

PHILOSOPHY

‘Every Child – Every Day’ is the foundation upon which all of our wellbeing structures and supports are based.

The Boarding House exists only to provide access to a valuable education that would otherwise be inaccessible. We are a well-resourced residence, and we are proud of our ability to be responsive to the individual, the cohort and ever-changing needs of today’s youth.

Our academic and residential boarding school routines are designed to best suit adolescent children within a community living environment.

Boarding school students learn to be accountable for managing their own life. In practical terms, this provides preparation for adult life after school.

STAFF

Our dynamic Boarding School Team has a broad range of experience in education and adolescent health. The boarding staff members are typically well trained, best equipped to assist boarders to transition successfully to BS-CFL and to boarding.

Residential staff know each boarder in their complexity and provide them with an environment that enables them to thrive academically and personally. Boarders are supported daily within a trust-based setting.

Residential staff also tutor in a range of subject areas. In addition, external tutors are provided for subjects such as math’s, science, and languages.

FACILITIES

The sharing of rooms strengthens the bond between boarders. Our younger boarders are accommodated in rooms of eight, encouraging them to live harmoniously with one another. Senior boarding school students are allocated in a room of four.

Several common areas are open to all boarding school students at certain times within the Boarding House routine. Group study areas provide an opportunity to develop collaborative learning outside the classroom.

Other facilities available to boarders in the homely Boarding House include laundries, kitchenettes, break-out spaces,
and Wi-Fi (Time Restricted).
