Wishing Lucy, and all those who celebrate, a very happy St Patrick’s Day! We celebrated this evening by baking, decorating and of course eating some homemade biscuits ✨🎉☘️

There’s something about rainy weekends that makes us want to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the little things in life. Luckily for us, baking home cooked treats is something that our students love doing as part of their weekend relaxation 🥰

Here you can see Lucy making some amazing chocolate chip cookies that she made for the whole house 🍪❤️

The cookies were absolutely delicious, but unfortunately didn’t last long! She made a second batch and delivered some to another boarding house situated around the corner from us. I am sure this kind gesture was very well received  🤗🏠

Thank you, Lucy, for treating us to your culinary skills! 🥰👳‍♀️

Meanwhile, Jasmine made some healthy protein balls using peanut butter, flax-seeds and oats. A great healthy alternative to cookies 🧆🙏

Despite the rainy weather, the girls still felt motivated to move and enjoyed doing their workouts at the gym. In addition to this, Duda attended a Stretching & Relaxing class this morning – which aimed to improve flexibility and reduce stress 🧘

Over in Belgium, Maria Carolina enjoyed visiting some family members whilst doing the thing she loves the most – horse riding. Not only was she was able to do some impressive showjumping, but she also found the time to immerse herself in nature with these majestic animals. She returned to the boarding house this evening very happy indeed 🐴

We had a wonderful evening filled with the vibrant flavors of Indonesia. With this crew, there’s hardly ever any waste—every bite is savored. The night was full of laughter, great stories, and spicy rice, creating a perfect blend of fun and flavor. We’re already looking forward to our next dinner at home, where we’ll no doubt embark on a new culinary adventure.

As part of our Pastoral Program, we launched Pillar 4 of our Wellbeing Program, titled “Healthy Bodies and Minds,” during our weekly house meeting. This pillar focuses on Nutrition, emphasizing two key takeaways: First: Understanding calories and portion sizes. and Second: Making healthy food choices and staying hydrated.

During the meeting, we also watched a video in which students shared their thoughts on the importance of eating healthily, understanding daily calorie intake and portion sizes, and choosing nutritious meals. The video highlighted the significance of staying hydrated as well. Our House Rep, Jasmine, led this important discussion since she is one of the most passionate and health-conscious members of our house.

After a well-deserved February break, the boarders of Louis Degallier 60 returned to their house, ready to reconnect and embrace the new school period with enthusiasm. The first week back was filled with opportunities to strengthen friendships and ease into the academic routine. Housemates gathered to share stories from their time away, rekindling bonds and creating a warm and supportive atmosphere. This period of re-connection played a key role in fostering a sense of belonging and ensuring that everyone felt motivated for the challenges ahead.

To make the transition even more enjoyable, a variety of activities were organised, bringing energy and excitement to the house. Students participated in climbing sessions, testing their physical and mental resilience, while others engaged in card games and classic house games that sparked laughter and friendly competition. These activities not only provided entertainment but also helped set a positive tone for the upcoming term. With spirits high and motivation renewed, the boarders of Louis Degallier 60 are now ready to take on their academic and personal goals with confidence.
