Making Moves and Moving Up: WEEKEND 4th-6th of March

Dear All. It is the weekend, once again. We’re not sure when the weekends are going to run out but they just keep coming! So I guess we’re going to have to make the most of it while we still have the chance! And that doesn’t mean aimless, rip-roaring fun. It can also mean, focus and discipline and the betterment or ourselves as human beings…while having rip-roaring fun.

Olympus’ own Mr. Gordon (the handsome gentleman in powerade blue) in the midst of intellectual combat as CDL’s own CHESSMANIA is in full swing. A gauntlet of chess matches headed up by our best and brightest!

The Climbing Crew! Headed up by Mr. Ronan (the escaped Cro Magnon warrior exhibit in the back) and Mr. Rodrigo (the man playing off having fallen as some kind of fancy break-dance move). Repping Olympus are Aleksei (crossed arms blonde hair) and Maksim (Nike cap totally not accidentally glued on).

Spider Maks, Spider Maks! There’s not a single skill, that he lacks! Climbs a wall, any size! Until he falls, and then he cries! LOOK OUTTTT! HERE COMES THAT SPIDER-MAKS!

 

Climbing is all in the mind. If you believe yourself to be climbing, you are.

Ladies and gentleman! It’s been another wonderful weekend! What have ‘you’ been up to? I hope that it’s been promoting either your body or your mind. It’s easy to make that fun and it keeps us healthy, especially in these unpredictable times!

Best of the best from Olympus!

 

Senegalicious! One people, one goal, multiple signature dishes!

Jaam nga am, everybody! Jaam rek, Yow nag?

It’s another wonderful international dinner here at CDL! And this week we have the privilege of savouring some fine Senegalese cuisine!

The flag of the placid and populous West African State of Senegal. The green representing the Colour of The Prophet as as much as 90% of the Senegalese populace is Muslim. The golden yellow in the centre is the exegesis of creativity and passion and the red is the colour of the blood and life that flows between the people of this proud country.

The formidable Coat of Arms of Senegal.

We are immensely proud to have so many guest chefs here at CDL to bring a piece of their culture to us so that we can devour it and pester them for seconds. We’ve got a hunger of knowledge and foreign cuisine, here at CDL and we haven’t been satiated yet! With a kitchen crew like this, there’s never fear of a hitch when dining our way around the world!


Food is the ultimate communal experience. Since man stoked the flames of the bonfire, cooking and eating around the hearth and hearts of a community has been one of the oldest and strongest cornerstones in human togetherness. And this meshes perfectly with CDL as the ultimate communal experience.

Another wonderful community trip around the world. About 55cm. The circumference of our dinner plates.

We hope that you take your stomach on an adventure, soon! It’s always worth it at CDL!

Pillar 4- Online Safety

This week we started Pillar 4 of our Wellbeing Programme.

Online Safety

We introduced the Pillar this week in our Monthly Assembly. Our students spend a lot of their time online whether as part of their academics, social life or indeed free time. It is therefore important we aid them with the right tools to navigate this online world just as we do in the real world. It is important they are educated not only on the benefits of technology but also on their responsibility of protecting themselves and others.
