At CDL, we are deeply passionate about community service, and we strive to instill this value in all our students. The school’s REACH program encourages students to engage in Health and Activity, Responsible Citizenship, and Creativity. Each student is required to complete thirty hours of community service per year during their time at the school.
In the Boarding House, we provide various activities and opportunities for students to participate in events and projects to fulfil their community service requirements.
We want to thank Maria Carolina, Lusha and Sally for taking charge of collecting and sorting the trash today
Following our Pastoral program, tonight during our House Assembly, we focused on respect as a tool for conflict resolution, addressing the second key takeaway point of this Pillar 5.
The Advocates Team guided us through a video that explored how conflicts are inevitable, especially in a communal living environment like ours. The video emphasized respect as the foundation for healthy and effective conflict resolution.
By listening to others’ perspectives, remaining calm during tense moments, and seeking common ground, we learn that respect is essential for navigating challenges and strengthening our relationships.
During this week’s house meeting, we focused on empathy—what it means, the challenges it presents, and why it matters. The Advocates Team guided us through a video that explores the concept of empathy and highlights key insights. Click HERE to watch the video.
The main objective is to help students develop a deeper understanding of how empathy is formed and why it plays a crucial role in making safe and responsible choices.
Tonight, we held our penultimate Boarding Assembly, led by Mr. Usher, our Boarding Director.
As always, a variety of important topics were covered to keep our students informed and prepared.
We were especially proud to celebrate one of our legendary students, Taissia, who marked the end of her remarkable six-year journey at Collège du Léman with an inspiring presentation about her home country, Russia.
Thank you, Taissia, for allowing us to witness your growth into a confident, poised young woman, now ready to embark on your next adventure at university. We hope you carry with you the cherished memories of your time here.
With heartfelt wishes,
Your Swiss boarding family
