Chill Reading Sessions ๐Ÿ“–

Dear all,

Whatโ€™s stood out recently is how wisely the boys have begun to use their time. With evenings often swept up by activities or unexpected changes, theyโ€™ve started making intentional choices during the dayโ€”especially during study hallโ€”to stay on top of things and keep growing.

Rather than letting busy days be an excuse, theyโ€™re using their initiative to make the most of quiet moments, often turning to books once assignments are done. Itโ€™s not about having more timeโ€”itโ€™s about using the time they do have well. Reading, for now, may still feel like a chore, but slowly theyโ€™ll be all grown up and look back with a smile, realising how special it was to have the freedom to read what they wanted, right at the moment when they were “meant” to be studying!

Making Safe and Responsible Choices: Understanding Empathy

Dear all,

This evening we continued Wellbeing Pillar 5: Making Safe and Responsible Choices: Understanding Empathy

At the heart of making safe and responsible choices lies empathy โ€” the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. This week, the session aimed to deepen studentsโ€™ understanding of empathy as more than just a feeling, but as a powerful tool that helps build stronger relationships and communities. By truly stepping into someone elseโ€™s shoes, students learn to make choices that are kinder, safer, and more responsible.

Empathy is the first step toward creating a supportive environment where everyone feels seen and respected. Itโ€™s a skill worth practicing every day.

Thank you to Mr. Manu and Mrs. Sophie for their dedicated delivery of these lessons to the Junior Houses. The younger students, who need this guidance most during such a crucial stage of their lives, truly benefited from their efforts.

Japan Night ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿฅข

Dear all,

This evening we were priviliged to take a flavorful journey to Japan with a special Japan-themed International Dinner Night. The event let us experience the richness of Japanese cuisine and culture in a vibrant, festive setting. The atmosphere was lively and warm, with everyone sharing in the excitement and discovery.

The food was delicious and the themed evening a treat. So, it was a quick โ€œitadakimasuโ€ before the meal and a very quickl follow-up of โ€œoishii!โ€ to express just how tasty everything was.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the evening such a success. Arigatou gozaimashita! ๐ŸŒธ

Midweek Treats – Dinner at Home

Dear all,

The boys were treated to something extra special today โ€” a delicious fusion of flavours that brought big smiles all around. We kicked things off with a beautiful Italian lasagna and salad prepared by the amzing cooking team in the Leman Cafeteria, paired perfectly with a rich touch of Raclette goodness, courtesy of our very own Mr. Andrรฉs. To top it all off, we wrapped up with a well-deserved ice cream outing.

Itโ€™s important to savour the little joys in life whenever and wherever we can. And with the sun shining down on us today, we thought โ€” why not? A perfect day for a shared meal, good company, and great vibes.
