Wellbeing Pillar 4 – What goes online, stays online.

Posted by

Today our 9th graders had their wellbeing session. This Pillar as you know is focused on keeping us safe in the big online world.

Today’s topic focused on “What goes online, stays online”.
– Do we know what happens when we accept the privacy terms when we sign up to an application, website etc?
– What impact could have everything we post on the internet have? Loss of opportunities (job, university), friendships.

Focused on these questions we have made some interesting reflections. Like how we are now products for big companies like Facebook, Instagram etc… If a university should focus only on my academic results or also take into consideration what my online profiles say about me during the application process?

Finally the kids have chosen their individual project to work on during this pillar.

Saturday Activites

Posted by

Now that the ski season is over, we have had another busy weekend on campus in terms of activities. Our boys participated in tennis, cycling and the photography workshop.  In addition to these activities, there was the possibility to attend also cooking and fitness.

In the afternoon some of our boys went to Geneva and they enjoyed their free time in the city doing some shopping and having a nice time around the lake.

Tomorrow, they will still have the possibility to enjoy more activities such as Yoga, Tennis and fitness among others. They will also be able to perfect and/or develop new skills in our CDL clubs like Chess, Steam or Football.

What Goes Online…….. Stays Online. Pillar 4, Online safety.

Posted by

Tonight we looked deep into the World Wide Web, and explored how safe the information we innocently share with our friends, really is. We looked at the impact that our actions and social media posts have on our future and the effects it can have on our careers.

 

We looked at how seriously we take care of our Privacy setting and our passwords. I think all the boys were aware of how often they “should” change a password, not so many stuck to this rule……Something I think we are all guilty off.

The boys were also given examples of social media posts that had cost people their jobs, or negatively affected their careers because of content posted years earlier. The boys then researched  on their own to find similar situations for us to reflect on. We then used this time to select the individual projects for the guys and make a plan for our community project.
