Wellbeing Wednesday – Meditation
This evening, we had our third meditation session of the term, and the boys found it very useful. We did a body scan which really allowed the boys to settle down before bed.
Wellbeing Wednesday – House Dinner 🍝 🇮🇹
This evening, with the help of Loris, Erik, Manuel, and Antonio, we had our first House Dinner of the 2021/22 academic year.
The boys helped the House Parents prepare two delicious pasta dishes, using fresh and local ingredients. Antonio also prepared bruschetta and Loris prepared salads.
For dessert, the boys enjoyed a well-deserved ice cream.
This meal was a big part of educating the boys about the importance of a healthy body, and healthy minds. It was fantastic to see them enjoying the meal as a family at home, laughing and joking throughout, but also seeing how satisfying it was to eat something they had planned and prepared.
Also, thank you to Mr Usher and Mr Salva for coming to visit us in the Boarding House!
BRAVI TUTTI! 🇮🇹
A lovely visit from the teachers! 🏡
