The week began with a focused and productive spirit for our Louis Degallier boarders, who dedicated their time and energy to studies and assignments. With a strong sense of motivation, they worked diligently while also exploring new activities that balanced their routine, such as the strategic game of chess, challenging tennis and judo trainings or creative DJ Mix sessions. This combination of academic commitment and recreational learning set a positive tone for the days ahead.

In addition to this focused start, our community gathered for the weekly House Meeting, an important moment of connection and preparation. Together, we prepared for the much-anticipated Mountain Weekend, ensuring everyone was ready for this exciting experience. It was also a time to strengthen our sense of responsibility and leadership within the House, as we officially nominated our House Captain, House Representative, and a Dining Hall Committee member. These roles not only empower students to take initiative but also reinforce the collaborative and supportive spirit that defines our House community.

After a busy first week of school and settling into their new home, the boarders of Louis Degallier enjoyed a well-deserved weekend filled with both fun and relaxation. Students had the chance to take part in different activities, ranging from playing golf to enjoying water sports at the lake. Many also made the most of the gym in the mornings, keeping active and healthy while setting a positive routine for the term ahead.

Alongside leisure and exercise, the weekend offered the perfect opportunity to prepare for the upcoming week. The boarders dedicated time to completing their school assignments and took some time to relax and share quality moments together in the boarding house. The combination of productive study time, engaging activities, and social bonding created a balanced and enjoyable atmosphere, helping everyone feel more at home and ready to face the term with confidence.

Tonight marked a special milestone for Louis Degallier 60 Boarding House as we held our very first official house meeting of the year.

It was a great opportunity for the boarders to relax, bond, and enjoy some light-hearted competition together.

Following the quiz, the meeting moved into a more informative section, where key announcements and updates were shared with the house.
