Dear all,

Today, we had the pleasure of sharing Australian food. We enjoyed a meal featuring Australian lamb, sweet potatoes, and zucchini.

Did you know that Australia is home to some of the most unique wildlife on the planet? About 80% of its animals can’t be found anywhere else, including kangaroos, koalas, and the platypus. And when it comes to food, Australians love a good barbecue—grilling meat and veggies is a big part of their food culture, bringing people together for relaxed outdoor meals.

Dear all,

At the end of today’s House Meeting, we asked the boys to share something memorable about the past few months at Champs des Bois and school—whatever came to mind first. And let’s say the answers did not dissapoint.

Paul David gave us a heartwarming one, saying he’s really proud of the friendships he’s built in the house and how comfortable ❤️ he feels with everyone.

Jin, on the other hand, went straight to Friday night pizza talks. He loves coming to the office with the House Parents, grabbing a slice, and asking about “adult life” once you finish going to the school. 🍕

Xingyu kept it real—he’s just grateful for the occasional 🥤 Coca-Cola. Priorities.

And then there’s Chika, who made us all feel like we should’ve paid more attention in science class. He’s thankful for the chance to keep learning about science with us, even though sometimes we try (but don’t always succeed) in answering his endless 🔬 questions.

It’s been amazing to see what really matters to each of them, and we feel very proud of them for being able to express it.
