This Monday we started the week with a couple of talks about how sugar affects our bodies. The students participated in the discussion and brought their knowledge into it.
To finalize the session the students were asked to suggest different kinds of snacks and drinks they want in the house but before they have to find out the nutritional info of the items they wanted to ask.
Some of the best moments with the students are those when we (house parents) have the chance to witness our students supporting each other. Same way Arshia organized a meal and a birthday cake for Aitic and his friends last Friday; last evening Casper took the initiative to help Arshia with Bio-chemistry. And this is only one example of many, just this time I was able to capture it on camera. 😉
The students of Louis Dégallier led by Arshia gave a wonderful surprise to Aitenir last evening at Geneva. Joyeux Anniversaire Aitic!
Last Weekend our students took part in different activities.
Some of them involved delicious rewards.
Sviat took part on the tennis lessons.
So did Thiago on Saturday morning.
Vitor joined as well the training.
The Ukranian doubles was hard to beat.
In another activity Casper and his colleagues prepared a variety of pastry dishes.

Last Monday the students of Louis Dégallier went to the forest for a walk as an initiative to keep the students connected with the beautiful surroundings of Versoix and engage them into daily exercise.
Last evening we had a very interesting session with the students of our house. On an open discussion we talked about the regular habits of each of us focusing on exercise and sports. Happily surprise to see that most of our students agree that exercise should be a very important part of our routines. And also that most of us exercise 3-4 times a week.
Our students in general are also aware of the physical and psychological benefits of physical activity. There is certainly room to improve and soon and soon we will also get into nutrition habits.
Last Sunday we celebrated the Sports Day at CDL Boarding
We teamed up with Megard and Concha Anexe
Tug of war was definitely the hardest challenge.
Basketball shot outs weren’t easy neither.
Concentration was key for all the activities.
… as well as speed! It was a warm Sunday full of exercise and competition.
Sunday in the Morning Arshia and Anjie went to their golf practice.
It was the first time for Arshia. Lots of new experiences for our students.
Anjie could show us his skills on the field.
Time to celebrate with chocolate cake at Louis Dégallier. Ivan has turned 17 years old today. We wish you the best!
Our new Student Arshia joined us today! Here at Concha during the Treasure Hunt.
