During our last house assembly, the girls delved into what Global Citizenship means to them. Words like Acceptance, Together, Inclusivity, and Internationalism emerged, reflecting a spirit of unity and diversity. Concepts of Equality, Liberty, and Openness underscored their commitment to a world of fairness and freedom. As a community, we celebrate the beauty of diversity and embrace the values of Globalisation, Location, and Celebration in fostering a global mindset.
Sayuri, Rin, Ashley, Yufei, Gergana, Paulina, Melissa, Vladislava, Lily, and Chihana embarked on an unforgettable journey to Rovaniemi, Finland, during the winter break. The Arctic landscape welcomed them with a fresh blanket of snow, setting the stage for an enchanting experience.
From visiting Santa Claus’s village to exploring the pristine wilderness through ice skating and sleigh rides, each day was filled with magical moments. Despite cloudy skies, the anticipation of witnessing the Northern Lights kept spirits high. Some were lucky enough to witness them on the second night!
Although the auroras remained elusive, the group’s spirits weren’t dampened as they embraced every adventure, from dog sledding to visiting a reindeer farm. Each experience added to the magic of their winter wonderland excursion. ❄️🌲🦌 #NewPortenaJourney

Last weekend, CDL students embarked on an unforgettable journey to Rome! Among them were Lulu and Yufei from New Portena Boarding House, adding their spark to the adventure.
They visited the Vatican, where they explored St. Peter’s Square and marveled at the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. They wandered through Rome’s iconic landmarks, from the Pantheon to the Trevi Fountain, with some shopping time thrown in.
The next day, it was Lulu’s 15th birthday! 🎂 The day was packed with history as they toured the Colosseum and the Roman Forum . A quick lunch break, and it was time to bid farewell to the Eternal City.✈️🇮🇹
