During our house meeting, we proposed to the boys to define Respect in three words. It might seem easy, right? However, it’s a challenging task as respect is a very broad concept. The crucial twist we added was that the boys couldn’t use the term “respect” in their definitions. This activity encourages them to delve deeper into the concept, expressing their understanding in a concise and creative manner. It serves as a great way to foster critical thinking and articulate personal perspectives on such a fundamental value. How did the boys respond to the task? Answer below:

Our well-being programme is back, and we’ve embarked on our second journey to raise awareness among our boys from Concha and Annexe.

Today marked the commencement of our exploration into the theme of “Protecting against Bullying and Respecting Diversity.”

Our initial focus involves uncovering the common bonds that unite us, inspired by the RISE values of the school.

Guided by Mr. Iker and Miss Ana, our student advocates have presented a challenge to the boys—can they discover similarities with their roommates? They now have several days to craft a short clip sharing what similarities they find.

Stay tuned as we’ll be sharing the results next week!

A heartfelt thanks to our dedicated student advocates: Diego, Amanda Regina, Ana Lu, Giuliana, Adi, Lulu, and Kseniia. Your contributions are truly appreciated.

The Concha Annexe team wish you a Happy Birthday Nick!

The boys did spend the weekend wisely, despite the weather. Tennis, Climbing and Horse Riding were the choices.

Some snaps below.

Yesterday evening, Kristian and Adam went to Servette Stadium to watch the match against Zug. Both teams play in the Swiss National Hockey League. With a tied score until the last minute, the victory went to the away team (2-3), lifting Zug in the general qualification. Although our boys had so much fun, and Kristian was thrilled with the atmosphere.

They will definitely come back to the stadium!!

We wish our boys a restful time!

While celebrating Nikita’s birthday, Firdavs was invited to join and enjoy a slice of chocolate cake. It’s wonderful to see these two lads getting along well.

This weekend, with some absences from the house, as many boys were out with family or on trips, but the fun continued at CDL, having a wonderful trip to Walibi amusement park and, of course, our disciplined Bryan, attending his unforgettable date with his Tennis practice.

To conclude this pillar before the holiday break, we conducted a session associated with the challenge we presented to our students. We have compiled reflections on the poster below.

Our team of student advocates for this pillar has created a final video discussing the importance of sports and physical exercise in our daily well-being that we also visualised during the meeting. Well done to them and to Miss Perrine for conducting. We will have a final word and wrap-up session next Wednesday in our assembly.
