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.

Adam and Bryan had an assignment in their Geography class: Build the city of the future, based on renewable energy. Both boys chose a different approach. Adam chose to use Mr. Stéphan’s Lego Class Bricks and build a project from scratch. While Bryan went to Geneva and bought a gigantic Lego City set of a modern and ecological city.

Both of them had fun building it, and we wish them to get the best grade.

This weekend at Collège du Léman was nothing short of spectacular! On Saturday our students traded their textbooks for tennis rackets, aprons, and bouncing shoes, creating a whirlwind of excitement on campus.

The tennis courts saw intense matches, with players showcasing their skills and sportsmanship. The kitchen turned into a culinary battleground as students whipped up personalized crêpe creations, and the aroma of deliciousness wafted through the air.

But the fun didn’t stop there – our boarders headed to the local trampoline park for a gravity-defying adventure. Laughter echoed as flips, twists, and slam-dunks took center stage.

Beyond the activities, this weekend brought our boarding school community closer together. Friendships were forged, and memories were made. Our students are proving that weekends on campus can be both enriching and incredibly fun!

Our second mountain weekend in Leysin was a blissful escape filled with exhilarating activities!

Under beautiful weather, we carved through slopes, raced down toboggan runs, skated on ice and took a swim in the thermal baths of Lavey!

The laughter, memories, and sheer fun created a weekend to cherish forever!

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.

Underneath blue skies and surrounded by fresh powder, our group indulged in a weekend packed with exhilarating activities.

As we bid Leysin farewell, our hearts are as full as a snow globe, shaking with gratitude for the memories made in this snowy paradise. Until the next snowfall, Leysin! ❄️⛷️🌨️

Positive friendships are an important part of the journey to adulthood. They help children and teenagers learn important social and emotional skills, like being sensitive to other people’s thoughts, feelings and wellbeing.​
​
Have you ever taken a moment to reflect on the type of friend you are?​

This week we continue our friendship journey by having an honest and open conversation with our friends about how we see each other and what are the things that makes us friends!

Special thanks to Andrew who helped with the presentation!

We have explored the qualities of the friends we would like to have, and now let’s shift our focus to introspection.

This past week, we delved into understanding the kind of friends we are. The boys had the opportunity to hear some opinions from the friends of the ladies in Louis Yung 7, and now their challenge for this week is to seek feedback from their own friends.

We kicked off 2024 at our Boarding Community, with a weekend filled with activities. Despite the remaining snow, we all managed to do something fun and retake our habits once again.

Bryan kept practicing tennis at a high level and Shaokun went for a second time to learn better how to play. Nikita kept going with Horse Riding. Finally, Adam and Kristian went to Laser tag, one of the most popular activities throughout the year and they enjoyed it very much.
