The Boarding House wishes an happy birthday to Masafumi ! He had the chance to enjoy a good chocolate cake with his close friends. What a good time !

We are glad to say that we had a wonderful week-end in Leysin ! Over the week-end our boys enjoyed many winter activities. A lot of them decided to conquer the swiss slopes by going skiing or snowboarding with an instructor. If going on the slopes were not their cup of tea, they visited the magnificent glacier 3000 where they enjoyed the fresh air and the views. For the most adventurous ones, the tobogganing activity certainly gave them strong sensations ! At night, they had the chance to discover and enjoy typical mountain dishes such as raclette. On Sunday, they could either go back on the slopes, take some time to study or go ice skating. So good to see the boys so happy !!

Well done to all the students from all the Houses for their fabulous creations.

Thanks to Seyed and Otabek for their efforts with Léman’s amazing entry – A tasty lemon sponge!!

Congratulation to the CDL Volleyball teams who represented the school in a Volleyball tournament in Warsaw, Poland over the last few days – including Léman’s very own Masafumi and Amirhossein. Well done everyone!

We are proud to say that Seyed did an amazing job today for the Samedi du Partage. He directly volunteered to participate and successfully collected food, hygiene and cleaning products for the association. He demonstrated willingness to explain the purpose of it, practicing his french, and was really polite and welcoming. Thank you Seyed for this amazing experience !

Today we celebrate Apollo’s birthday. He told us that it was the first time he is passing it away, but it has been an amazing day for our boy.

We are glad to see again our two students, Leon and Esteban, who came back from Vietnam and Cambodia yesterday. They had the amazing opportunity to discover typical dishes, sumptuous landscapes and an enriching culture. They embarked in a journey full of discoveries, altruism and activities, from visiting parks to canoeing, they had the possibility to enjoy their stay in a foreign country rich of surprises.

We are delighted to say that the boarding house is now reopened for our amazing students ! We hope that everyone had a restful break with their family. We look forward for this new term where we are going to celebrate Halloween, do a pumpkin carving competition and the Chrismas dance ! A lot of fun incoming !

Congratulations to Rakann, and all the other students, that took part in our Public Drama Performance this evening. A fantastic show!!

Many congratulations to Emad, Jinwoo, Otabek and Yosuke – the Léman students who managed to successfully secure a place onto the National Honours Society.

This Sunday saw the CDL Boarding 5km run, as part of the first pillar of our Wellbeing Programme – Nurturing Healthy Bodies and Minds. The Run was an opportunity for everyone, whatever their running ability, to challenge themselves and achieve something special.

It was a brilliant atmosphere and we would like to congratulate everyone who took part – we are very proud of everyone’s achievements!

Our incredible activities programme was back in full force this weekend, and lots of the Léman boys were able to enjoy a wide range of fun activities. These included: Tennis, Horse-Riding, Running, Chess, Golf, Sailing, Climbing and Handball!!

It was another fantastic weekend here in Switzerland, with lots of the Léman boys taking full advantage of the amazing opportunities on offer.

This afternoon, some of the Léman boys contributed to an initiative to help keep our local community free from litter. We really appreciate their kindness and their enthusiasm to help.

Last week, our student Wellbeing Advocates introduced the Sleep Challenge to all the other students in Léman Boarding House, as part of the first Wellbeing Pillar. The aim of this challenge was to highlight the importance, as well as the benefits, of a good nights sleep in our everyday lives.

One of our senior students, Jinwoo in Grade 12, wrote some feedback about how he felt after participating in the challenge. Here’s what he said:

“Hi, this is my personal feedback for the well-being challenge. The most effective method for me to improve my sleep quality was by not being in front of the screen for 30 minutes prior to sleep. In my experience, the more time away from screen the better I felt throughout the day. However, considering the fact that I usually have to do the schoolwork until late (with laptop), 30 minutes is a reasonable time in my opinion. Meditation helped me as well. I’ve always done it occasionally throughout the day but I discover that it also improved the quality of my sleep. I didn’t try warm milk before bed because I have to brush my teeth afterwards which would wake me up anyway. Stretching didn’t help me with sleep for me personally because it woke me up due to the pain”.

A huge thank you to our two student wellbeing advocates – Marcelo and Aijuka

This evening they delivered a session to the rest of the students in Léman, focusing on how a healthy sleep routine will benefit us in our everyday lives.

A crucial part of this pillar will be to help the students by providing them with tools to get a better quality of sleep. A good sleeping routine has been proven to have a positive impact on one’s overall well-being. 

We have challenged our students to participate in the ‘Sleep Better Challenge’, and they should try to achieve at least one of the 5 tips listed.

Yesterday evening saw the first match of our annual Boarding Basketball Tournament.

Léman vs Olympus
