Living in a boarding community and surrounded by an amazingly diverse range of people, it is impossible to not find common interests and make new friends.

We promote diversity and internationalism within boarding and encourage students to mix with people from other cultures.

With the huge amount of different activities, trips and excursions on offer, these are excellent ways to interact and meet others in the community.

This week we continued on our Wellbeing Journey of Pillar 3- Building Positive Friendships. We explored the topic of Boundaries and how these should be a healthy part of any friendships, partnership and relationship.

An example of this within the context of boarding are the boundaries we have as part of our boarding rules, or indeed the agreements in place with roommates. These are normal parts of our lives. We should feel comfortable and open to be able to share our boundaries with friends too. Even more so in relationships.

Being so close to the Swiss Alps we have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful snow on the mountains. Each weekend we have been able to offer activities on the slopes, from snowshoeing – to snow tubing- to sledging- and of course this coming weekend to Crans Montana for our 2nd Mountain Weekend.
