During this week’s well-being session, we continued working on the second pillar of well-being – protecting against bullying and respecting diversity.

This week, we paid particular focus to the extremely important topic of ‘Bullying’.

In each session, each group were split into two to design different posters to be displayed around the school. One poster was to define what bullying is and to identify the different types of bullying. The second poster was to state the different ways and ideas in which we can try and tackle and prevent the issue of bullying.

It was fantastic to see the boy’s working together and coming up with some great ideas. The importance of protecting against bullying was certainly reinforced. Great work boys.

The latest instalment to the Boarding House competition was the Masterchef competition which took place this weekend. Thank you to Amirhossein and his team for preparing a fantastic Iranian dish. The positive attitude, effort and spirit we received from the boy’s was amaying to see.

The Leman 2 boys are doing very well overall in the competition and currently sit in 2nd position – just 60 points behind the current leaders, Leman 1.

Keep up the good work boys.

Well done to all of the Leman boys who took part in the latest match of this years Basketball tournament. There were some great performances against a strong Concha team. It’s great to enjoy events like this as a House and see the boys become so passionate about something so positive.

This evening we had the third House Competition of the year, the Pumpkin Carving!! Well done to Rayaan for his fantastic work and spirit. Happy Halloween to all!!

We hope all the boys had a great break with their families and we look forward to welcoming them all back into Leman 2. We wish the boys all the success for the rest of Marking Period 1.

Huge congratulations go to everybody who participated in the poetry and music event this evening. Special well done to Amro and Rayaan!! Congratulations boys, you did brilliantly =).

The Léman 2 boys gathered this afternoon for the last well-being session before the October break.

The first part of the session was recapping from the session a couple of weeks ago – the boys shared their current exercise habits and wrote down targets for their future sport and activity participation. We will get together again after the break and review these goals. We have been very impressed with the current amount of sport and exercise that the boys do and the fact they are very motivated to do even more and achieve their newly set targets, is a fantastic thing to see.

When relaxing, a lot of the boys will still be on their phones or watching movies. We would like to encourage more effective methods of relaxation, for example, breathing techniques, meditation, reading, sport or listening to music. In addition to this we showed the boys a short mediation disk to give them an idea on how they can effectively relax / relieve stress. The boys responded positively and we will continue to encourage this. Some of the benefits of meditation include:

• Reduces Stress.
• Controls Anxiety.
• Promotes Emotional Health.
• Enhances Self-Awareness.
• Lengthens Attention Span.
• Can Generate Kindness.
