As we are celebrating our “Internationalism week”, all the Boarding Houses were asked to define “Global Citizenship”. This is the definition from Concha Annexe.

Yesterday, we had a very nice house dinner, Lasagna for everyone. The boys really enjoyed the food and had some time together, loads of fun.

In our last session of this pillar, we played a Kahoot with examples of toxic friendships, the boys had to categorise them in 3 groups:

🚩 Red flag – A clear sign of toxic friendship.

🟡 Yellow flag – A possible sign of toxic friendship. A warning.

🟩 Green flag – No sign of toxic friendship, a positive sign of true friendship.

It was fascinating and it opened a debate with some of the scenarios.

Well done to Kristian who won the Kahoot with the best score.

This week, our weekly meeting was focused on microaggressions.

The boys engaged in the meeting, by giving examples of these kinds of aggressions, we all dived into the best way to avoid them and answer them, but it all resumes to:

THINK BEFORE YOU TALK

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE FOR A HEARTFELT APOLOGY

Well done boys, we enjoyed this meeting very much.

Mr Manuel & Mr Tarun

We have explored the qualities of the friends we would like to have, and now let’s shift our focus to introspection.

This past week, we delved into understanding the kind of friends we are. The boys had the opportunity to hear some opinions from the friends of the ladies in Louis Yung 7, and now their challenge for this week is to seek feedback from their own friends.

We kicked off 2024 at our Boarding Community, with a weekend filled with activities. Despite the remaining snow, we all managed to do something fun and retake our habits once again.

Bryan kept practicing tennis at a high level and Shaokun went for a second time to learn better how to play. Nikita kept going with Horse Riding. Finally, Adam and Kristian went to Laser tag, one of the most popular activities throughout the year and they enjoyed it very much.

This week, we kick off our third pillar led by Ms. Yewande and her wonderful team of Advocates, all the girls from Louis Yung 7. For the first stage, we are identifying the characteristics that you look for in a friend. The boys provided quick words in response; please see the poster below.
