Friendship keeps us Well-Beings!
As Pillar 3 now comes to an end we look back across the topic of friendship and what the House has been focusing on over the past 5 weeks. We have explored the topics of peer pressure and personal experiences of this. We have looked at the impacts of toxic friendships and how to avoid them, and also the differences between encouraging and pressuring. This has been a fantastic pillar that the boys have all shown great maturity while taking part. We all hope as a House the boys can learn from this and take these experiences on with them, as they move forward in CDL and there young lives.
As part of a combined individual project and a House project, each of the guys were asked to take a photo with their friends, and then describe their friends in 3 words on the back of the photo. It was nice to see the common theme of trustworthy and loyalty coming up. The boys also made a Friendship chain with what a friend meant to them written on the rings. The boys did a fantastic job with both of these projects and it is displayed proudly in the House.
Above is an example of Fransico and Vova’s Friendship photos. Vova is the house Prefect and sees Francisco as a trustworthy, respectful and funny. Well done boys, thank you for sharing this with us.
Ski and après-Ski
Today our kids enjoyed the 4th Ski day of the season organized by Collège du Léman and its Camps Department. Today our boys have had an amazing day with a fantastic weather for skiing and snowboarding: sunny , no clouds and lots of fresh snow !
We went to two different places: the advanced group went to La Tzoumaz in the Four Valleys and the Intermediate and Beginner group went to Les Crosets in Ports du Soleil.
Once back home our boys enjoyed a warm and delicious snack after so many hours in the snow.
