This week for our Wellbeing Pilar our boys were given the opportunity to ask any anonymous questions regarding sexual orientation or gender identity. The topic of sexual orientation and gender identity can be a delicate one… Doubts, fear, embarrassment and prejudice can surely hinder one’s willingness to openly talk about his views and needs.

Happy Birthday to an incredible student!

Your constant commitment to everything you do is truly inspiring. 🙂

Your dedication to your studies, your kindness, and your support for others make you a shining example of excellence and kindness. May your day be as special as you are, filled with joy, laughter, and all the wonderful things you deserve. Here’s to another year of achieving great things and being the amazing person you are.

Enjoy your day to the fullest!

Over the weekend Leonardo and Hamza participated in a school trip to Europa Park which is a theme park in Germany with other students from the boarding community. They had a great weekend.

Leonardo shared a few words from his experience of the trip;

“I wanted to share the incredible moments from our recent trip to Europa Park. The thrill of the roller coasters, the enchanting atmosphere, and the diverse cultural experiences made it an unforgettable adventure.
Also, the attention and support that the staff gave us.
Looking back it was more than a normal trip. I hope we can have moments like that again”

Hamza stopped for a quick photo.

EuropaPark is by far the biggest theme park in Germany and this weekend some of the students were there to enjoy it. Despite the weather, they enjoyed every moment, exploring as many attractions as they could. They had so much fun, and here are some pictures.

This evening in our House Meeting we launched Pillar 2 of the Wellbeing Programme: Protecting against Bullying and Respecting Diversity. Diego James, our Advocate from the House, presented the challenge related to Race and Ethnicity. Our boys have to find the similarities they have with their roommates and record a video or an audio.

This weekend, we had our usual activities including climbing…

…we also had some time to practice on our new Piano…

…and we had our exclusive Louis Degallier House activity:

Go- Karting!

…where we were racing hard…

… but had even more fun pushing our driving skills…

…and to top it all off, we enjoyed a nice walk with a beautiful view, and a visit to a restaurant of our choice in the pretty city of Lausanne. 

What a nice way to end our weekend ✨

Today I made “White chocolate & Raspberry Blondies” for the house ❤

First, I melted down the white chocolate and butter. Then I whisked eggs and brown sugar until it was light and fluffy. Next, I combined those together and mixed it until smooth ⭐

After that, I added flour, baking powder, and chunks of white chocolate, and stirred it until my arm started to hurt!

Then I poured the mixture into the greased tin, covered  it with raspberry jam, and topped with raspberries 🍓

Lastly I put the mixture into the oven, waited 40 minutes and cool it down for 30 minutes in the fridge 🙌

This was the first time I baked blondies, but it was easy to bake and delicious to eat, and the girls loved it 🥰

On the weekends, we have the option to do different kinds of activities 🏸

This Saturday Defne and I chose to do climbing at the local climbing centre 🧗‍♀️

There are different levels of climbing you can pick represented by different colours. Define and I chose to do yellow, red, and orange and we managed to reach the top.

We thought it was easy so we challenged ourselves to do the blue ones next, but it was too difficult and unfortunately we couldn’t get to the top!

Overall it was a fun activity to do (especially as it was bad weather outside), and we had really good quality time just the two of us 🥰
