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.

We all wish you a happy birthday Nikita!!

We conducted our second meeting today, focusing on the topic of sleep.

Our second key takeaway is: “What tools can I utilise to enhance the quality of my sleep?”

During the meeting, the boys had the opportunity to watch a recording featuring our student advocates and some special guests, including Mr Usher, who shared valuable tips on how to achieve restful sleep:

1. Avoid heavy meals before bedtime.
2. Incorporate stretching exercises before going to bed.
3. Turn off screens at least 30 minutes before bedtime and adjust screen brightness to night mode.
4. Engage in reading a book.
5. Practice meditation techniques.
6. Consider drinking warm milk.

As a challenge, each boy has selected one or two of these recommendations to implement and will record their progress in their planners. We are eager to see if these changes positively impact the quality of their sleep. Stay tuned for the results, which will be presented in our monthly assembly next week.

Thank you for your attention and involvement!

We had a busy weekend filled with numerous activities and lots of fun. Some of the activities that were chosen included karting, climbing, cooking, horse riding, and tennis.

Here are a few snapshots for you to enjoy!

Today, as we do every Wednesday, we held our House Meeting to introduce the topic of wellbeing.

Our first meeting was held today, and we kicked off with the first pillar, “Nurturing Healthy Minds and Bodies.” This year, along with our colleague Ms. Perrine Manoury and the amazing team of Wellbeing Advocates (Regina, Marcelo, Etoile, Laura Jane, and Ajuka), we focused on the topic of sleep.

Did you know that research shows that 60% of Middle School students and 70% of High School students do not get enough sleep on weekdays? It’s concerning, isn’t it?

So, during this first session, we touched base with the boys to understand how much sleep they are getting and, more importantly, to raise awareness about the consequences of insufficient sleep on our daily lives. We emphasised the first key point, which is “Understanding the importance of sleep in our daily lives.”

The boys watched a video created by our Advocates team, who did an incredible job. We are immensely proud of their commitment and dedication. Now, it’s time for us all to reflect on and work through this important aspect of our lives.

This weekend, our boys enjoyed an eventful time with a diverse range of activities, including horse riding, climbing, and golf.

We are now gearing up for the Discovery Days at Fiesch, followed by our Orientation weekend at the same location.

Our students embarked on a tour of Geneva last Wednesday.

During the tour, they had the opportunity to explore significant monuments and notable spots within this captivating city. As they immersed themselves in the experience, their bonds of friendship began to strengthen.

Rest assured, we will continue to gather and treasure these unforgettable moments.

Our students participated in a treasure hunt as part of our induction activities last Tuesday.

The game proved to be both intriguing and exhilarating for all of them, as they approached it with a strong determination to win.
