Lasertag Sunday

This Sunday we had a trip to France to have a game of Lasertag. 45 students were in attendance with 7 from Léman 1.

Mikhail proudly came first in each of his games and overall between all the teams. It was a fast paced highly energetic activity which everyone enjoyed.

Victoria Hall Concert- Daniel Lozakovich

The concert within Victoria Hall was a wonderful event.

The majestic venue was the perfect place for Daniel to showcase his talents. He performed amazingly each of his pieces of music which received a standing ovation. It was wonderful to see the event supported by so many Collège du Léman staff who got to see Daniel in a different perspective outside of school. Friends from the Boarding House, along with his House Parents were able to share this celebration. Well Done Daniel.

 

 

The BLACKSWAN Foundation

This weekend our Léman 1 House Captain, Daniel LOZAKOVICH will be holding a concert in the Victoria Hall Geneva.

This will be a charity concert in aid of The BLACKSWAN foundation.

“Rare diseases affect 6% to 8% of the world population and approximately 500,000 people in Switzerland. The majority of these conditions affect children and in three out of four cases have a fatal outcome. The quest for specific drugs is a priority, especially as the effectiveness of certain rare disease drugs has been demonstrated in the treatment of most common diseases.

The BLACKSWAN Foundation was established in Switzerland in 2010 to contribute to the development of research on rare and orphan diseases worldwide. The Foundation supports research on all different types of rare and orphan disease, which makes its vision unique and helps in finding new solutions that can assist a large variety of projects”

Daniel Lozakovich

We are very excited about this weekends concert by Daniel.

Daniel is our current House Captain in Léman 1. He is a very charismatic and sociable young man who has made vast accomplishments in the music world. As he is Grade 12 he will be leaving us this year. This concert will be a nice way for Daniel to say goodbye to Collège du Léman and an opportunity for the school community to see his talent in action.

Photo Competition

Last month we had another House Competition.

It was to take a photograph with the theme of demonstrating Values.

The boys had many ideas and we spent lots of time in our House Meeting trying to think of a way to show this in one photograph, without explanation needed.

  • We knew that we wanted to have all of our boys participating to show solidarity, friendship and family.
  • We wanted to all wear our House Hoodies to show teamwork, membership and belonging.
  • We wanted to show what we thought where important values to have, of Honesty, Respect, Empathy and Humbleness.
  • We wanted to show how these values come together, become a part of each other to create a bigger picture (like a jigsaw) and demonstrate the values we want to see at CDL.
  • We then decided to edit the photo into black and white to demonstrate humbleness and that the focus of the picture was not us, but on the values shown.

Time was then spent finding cardboard, cutting out the jigsaw pieces, drawing and then painting them. This was our entry.

Well done to the boys and their hard work as we placed 3rd.

International Dinner- Indian

Every Tuesday we are fortunate to experience the culinary delights of a new country.

This week it was India which was a delight for all. We have one student from India in Léman 1, who said “It was a bit like home, but it was a lot less spicy…….. but it was nice of them to make the effort”

Mays Topic- Goal setting

Each Wednesday we have our House Meeting. This is a time in which the whole house comes together and we share the announcements for the week and the achievements of the week. We also then follow a pastoral programme in which a topic of the month is chosen.

This months topic will be Goal Setting.
