Undefeated

She was tired and frustrated

But her task was uncompleted

So she carried on going

As she would not be defeated.

-Ms Moem

Our Boarding community, in commemoration of International Women’s Day, orchestrated a vibrant march that encapsulated the spirit of solidarity and recognition. A group of our dedicated students actively participated by transforming their shirts into a symbolic shade of purple, a colour synonymous with the movement. Brimming with enthusiasm, they embarked on a meaningful walk around Versoix, creating a visual testament to their support for gender equality and empowerment. The event not only showcased the unity within our community but also served as a poignant reminder of the importance of fostering inclusivity and celebrating the achievements of women around the world.

Concha Annexe team wishes you happy birthday!

As we are celebrating our “Internationalism week”, all the Boarding Houses were asked to define “Global Citizenship”. This is the definition from Concha Annexe.

Yesterday, we had a very nice house dinner, Lasagna for everyone. The boys really enjoyed the food and had some time together, loads of fun.

In our last session of this pillar, we played a Kahoot with examples of toxic friendships, the boys had to categorise them in 3 groups:

🚩 Red flag – A clear sign of toxic friendship.

🟡 Yellow flag – A possible sign of toxic friendship. A warning.

🟩 Green flag – No sign of toxic friendship, a positive sign of true friendship.

It was fascinating and it opened a debate with some of the scenarios.

Well done to Kristian who won the Kahoot with the best score.

This week, our weekly meeting was focused on microaggressions.

The boys engaged in the meeting, by giving examples of these kinds of aggressions, we all dived into the best way to avoid them and answer them, but it all resumes to:

THINK BEFORE YOU TALK

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE FOR A HEARTFELT APOLOGY

Well done boys, we enjoyed this meeting very much.
