Monthly Boarding Assembly, August.

Last night, we had our first Boarding Assembly, which was a lovely occasion. Many new and familiar faces were dressed quite formally for the event. The assembly was led by our Boarding Director, Mr. Usher. The topics covered included tips for the upcoming year, the Wellbeing Programme, Student Voice, trips, activities, and more. We want to extend a special thanks to Valentina, who opened the assembly by playing a wonderful piece, Chopin’s Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2, on the piano.

Fun Weekend

Today, we held our exciting End of Year event, bringing together the entire Boarding community to celebrate the past year. We enjoyed a variety of games, delicious ice cream, and fresh popcorn, making it a memorable day for everyone.

On Saturday the annual Bol d’Or sailing race took place on Lac Léman.

Also on Saturday the charity event where students and staff took on the 60km running (in 10 x 6km runs as a relay) versus a 170km bike ride around Lac Léman to raise money for The World Bicycle Relief.

 

✨⭐ Paragliding ⭐✨

Today, Marcela was lucky enough to go Tandem Paragliding here in Switzerland ✨

Thankfully she had good weather, the clouds literally cleared the second they were in flight mode, meaning she had beautiful views over Lake Geneva and it’s surroundings 🌎

Marcela said it was an amazing experience, something she will never forget! ⭐

Well-being Pillar 5: “Making Safe and Responsible Choices¨

This week, we concluded our Wellbeing Pillar 5. To wrap up this pillar, our well-being advocates have created a conclusion video addressing some of our boarders’ questions. Over the past four weeks, we have been deeply engaged in discussions with our students about peer pressure and decision-making. We explored how peer pressure works, its various forms, and the profound impact it can have on our lives and decision-making processes. Through these conversations, our students gained valuable insights and tools to better understand and navigate the influence of peer pressure in their daily lives.
