Brownies and Black Outs

With all the time that comes with a day, it’s difficult to not only figure out how to use all of it, let alone how to use it well.

Over this Wellbeing Pillar of healthy mind healthy body, many of the students have been providing responses of their own to the dilemma that comes with what the right choices are in keeping a schedule of sleep that serves us best.

Iyowuna has chosen his preferred medium of art to respond to our meetings to create a personal project:

Above, Iyowuna has chosen to depict two male figures who contrast each other by the obvious choice of healthy sleeping habits. The one on the left can be seen spending time on his computer at night when he should be resting and can also be seen paying for it dearly as he is irritable and tired during the waking hours. The other, who spends his nights getting rest, it content and inspired when he is awake.  A cautionary tale as well as an inspiring one.

Below, we have Jinwoo Jung’s sleep experiment of his own design where he tracked his energy related to how much sleep he got throughout the week. And we can clearly see the benefits of getting enough sleep during the academic week.

Sleep gives us enough energy the following day to pursue our passions to the fullest! And there’s no passion more rewarding or intense as culinary combat, in which we can witness Boris engaged in during the C.D.L bake-off.

Delicious! Though these brownies did not win Olyumpus the Bake-Off crown, they satisfied our hunger nonetheless. Thank you Boris!

And thank ‘you’ for keeping up with the newest goings-on at Olympus Boarding House.

Wishing you all the best this October 6th

Charity food collection for Afghanistan

The boys in the House have this weekend started to collect food to be sent to some of the refugees that have been displaced during the recent shift in power in Afghanistan.

The boys have been filling the box over the weekend and will continue for the coming weeks to get as much as possible to be sent.

 

Happy Holidays !

On behalf of the Olympus Team and all the Community of Collège du Léman we would like to wish to all you a great summer. It has been a great year. Get all the rest you deserve and enjoy the time together with your families.

Mr. Tom, Mr. Xavier, Mr. Ronan, Mr. Jaime

Good Luck Boys……….. We will miss you!
