This afternoon, the Middle School students enjoyed a wonderful tour of Chateau de Chillon, followed by a 40-minute walk into Montreux along the lakeside, with a visit to the local restaurants and shops to finish. A lovely day in the sunshine!
Copenhagen Trip with Masafumi and Manuel
An update from Mr Rob and Miss Emilie!
Dear Parents and Agents,
We have all had a fantastic day exploring the lovely city of Copenhagen.
We started the day with a visit to the National Museum of Denmark where we enjoyed a Viking exhibit.
Then, after visiting the Christiansborg palace, we went to the famous Nyhavn harbour for lunch.
We took the students on a cruise through the canals of the city, touring past all the beautiful sights, including the famous little mermaid statue.
The students are now enjoying some free time in the city centre, and we will soon be heading back to the hotel to get ready for dinner.
We have an amazing group of kids with us and they are all having a nice time!

Wellbeing Programme Pillar 5 Making Safe and Responsible Choices.
During our well-being tutorial, we focused on Attachment figures this week, the second key takeaway of this Pillar 5. Attachment theory focuses on relationships and bonds (particularly long-term) between people, including those between a parent and child and between romantic partners. The quality of our early attachments profoundly influences two things:
• Our personality
• Our relationships later in life
Depending on their attachment style, our students are either able to empathise with others, share feelings with other people, show trust, engage in long-term relationships, have high self-esteem, enjoy intimate relationships, seek out support etc.
Since our attachment styles are formed so early, we neither remember much about this stage of development nor do we have control over it. Therefore, our attachment traits are typically subconscious and automatic. Consequently, we might find ourselves repeating the same unhealthy patterns, in our relationships with ourselves and with others, repeatedly.
So, since Awareness is the beginning of change, tonight we asked our boys to take an attachment questionnaire quiz to help them figure out their attachment style.
Ping pong tournament!
Aryan played his first match in this Ping-Pong tournament against Louis a very good player. It was a very tight game with very good points. Congratulations to both players.
