Dorm Champion: Building Character, Inspiring Excellence

Here at Pledge Harbor International School, we believe that true education goes beyond academics. That’s why we introduced Dorm Champion, a unique program designed to nurture students’ character, discipline, and leadership skills within the boarding environment.

What is Dorm Champion?

Dorm Champion is an initiative where our experienced Dorm Masters closely observe and assess students on key behavioral attributes such as:

  • ✏️ Discipline & Responsibility – Following routines, maintaining cleanliness, and respecting school rules.
  • 💙 Respect & Teamwork – Showing kindness, cooperation, and good sportsmanship in the dormitory.
  • 🚀 Leadership & Initiative – Taking responsibility, helping others, and setting a positive example.
  • 🌱 Personal Growth & Resilience – Overcoming challenges, maintaining a positive attitude, and striving for self-improvement.

Throughout the program, Dorm Masters track students’ progress and reward those who excel in these areas. The most outstanding students earn the prestigious Dorm Champion title, along with special privileges and treats—rewards that are otherwise unavailable in the boarding school. These incentives serve as motivation while reinforcing positive behaviors that will benefit students throughout their lives.

Why Dorm Champion Matters?

By encouraging self-discipline, respect, and leadership, Dorm Champion helps students develop essential life skills that extend beyond their time in school. This initiative fosters a culture of excellence, where students are not only striving for academic success but also for personal and social growth.

Room Championship: Mastering Organization, Elevating Excellence

A well-organized space leads to a well-organized mind. The Room Championship program is designed to instill the values of self-management, organization, and creativity among our boarders, ensuring they develop lifelong skills that contribute to personal success.

How Room Championship Works

Boarders take ownership of their living spaces by organizing, decorating, and maintaining cleanliness in their rooms. Our Dorm Masters carefully assess each room, awarding points based on:

  • 🏡 Cleanliness & Tidiness – A well-kept space promotes discipline and hygiene.
  • 🎭 Creativity & Decoration – Personal touches make the dorm feel like home.
  • 📖 Organization & Space Management – Everything in its place for an efficient and stress-free environment.
  • ⚡ Consistency & Effort – Maintaining these standards throughout the term.

At the end of the program term, top-performing boarders are rewarded with special treats and privileges—incentives that make the effort worthwhile while reinforcing positive habits.

More Than Just a Competition

Beyond the rewards, Room Championship teaches essential life skills. Boarders learn the importance of self-organization, leading to a smoother, more structured daily routine. An organized room fosters a focused and productive mindset, ensuring that learning remains enjoyable, sustainable, and efficient.

It’s a win-win for all—students cultivate good habits, dorm life becomes more enjoyable, and the entire school community benefits from a cleaner, more disciplined environment!
