Final House Assembly before we split for Spring Break!!!

Tonight in our House Assembly we had lots of different points to cover before we split for Spring Break next Wednesday. Wellbeing being one of the main points as pillar 4 is coming to an end.

We also watched The Talent Show. Congratulations to each of the Houses with their wonderful performances!!Fingers crossed we come out on top but it is a difficult one to call.

Azerbaijan played Portugal tonight in football. The boys cheered on their home country but unfortunately Portugal came out on top winning 1-0.

 

Tuesday was a Wellbeing Evening !

Tonight we also ended the night with a little bit of Yoga to relax and stretch before bedtime.

The Yoga group is growing, last week it was 2 of the boys, this week we had 6. Namaste

Running Club and Biking is Back….

This week Francisco joined Arsneii and Mr.Rob for a 8km run on Saturday.

 

Arsneii smiling with the improvement on his running time each week!! He has increased his distance each week, this week he reached his personal best of 8km.Β 

Nihad enjoyed a lovely bike ride Saturday morning. He managed to do 12km and see the beautiful countryside around Versoix even when the temperatures were close to freezing

We all live in a Yellow Submarine……….

On Saturday we recorded our performance for the Boarding Got Talent contest which is happening virtually this year. Every member of the House played a part and the Rock Stars out front were Iyowuna on Guitar and Ilya on Piano.

Well-being is Everywhere

 

As Pillar 4 of the Well-being program comes to an end, the G12 boys sat with Mr Tom and discussed their individual projects. One of the boys researched into how clickabit is used to grab our attention online, while other chose to research their friends on Google…… Luckily with very little effect.

 

Mr Tom and some of thoe boys have started to do 15 minuted of yoga every evening.

Even some of the more difficult positions, left the guys feeling relaxed and clam after their session

We think Fransisco was actually asleep by the end of this one.

Wellbeing Pillar 4 – What goes online, stays online.

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.
