Tonight, Ms.Jody came to LY7 to check how are things going after our recent room change. All the girls have shown their satisfaction with our current rooming arrangement which is extremely important to our wellbeing.

Ms.Jody showed us a  picture of a flock of birds flying in the sky, and she explained why the birds flock.  It improves a bird’s chance of survival against predators because a large group of birds is stronger and better protected and with many eyes, the flock is far more likely to spot a would-be marauder. Also, the predator will find it harder to concentrate on a single victim, increasing the individual member of the flock’s chance of survival. Flocking also enables birds to fly further using less energy because when the strong leader bird flaps its wings it creates uplift for the birds behind. Living in the same house is just like flocking, in order to fly farther, faster and safer, we need to work as a team, support each other uplift each other.

The brand new World News Committee, led by students and guided by Mr.Rob, Mr.James, Ms.Terri, was introduced in today’s assembly.

Students who are interested in journalism, writing or just love to put their focus on what is going on in the world at the moment are welcome to join. They will discuss current affairs and relevant world news and then present in the future boarding assemblies.

Another great boarding assembly was held tonight in Eiger.

Girls are looking sharp in their CDL blazer!

Louise and Johane are hosting a Crêpe night tonight at Louis Yung 7.

They invited friends from other houses to come, and they made delicious crêpes together.

Friendship, like all other things, isn’t always smooth sailing. It will be tested throughout the years, and only that will make it stronger!

In this session of wellbeing, we discussed how to deal with conflict and disagreement in friendship. First of all, we have to admit people aren’t the same, but it doesn’t change the fact different minds can have similarities here and there. Secondly, communication is key when we have disagreements with friends, we all agree that misunderstanding oftentimes is just lack of communication.

Last weekend, boarders of CDL had our Mountain Weekend Vol.2 in Crans-Montana

We had all kinds of fun in our winter activities such as skiing curling and ice-skating

Can’t wait for the next one!

How can you make good friends if you’re not one yourself? The definition of a good friend varies from person to person, but there are certain traits, characteristics, and qualities that most people would agree make someone a good friend.

In this week’s wellbeing session, we are asking ourselves are we good friends to others and what makes us a good friend?

Some say we are there for our friends when they need help, others think they can lift their friends up when they’re down, we also agree that good friends should always stay true and honest to each other, respect each other’s individuality and accept each other for who they are.

There are many more qualities of good friends that we have discussed. Some qualities are more important to some people than they are to others. Each person must set his or her own criteria for what it means to be a good friend. And that means you, too, must possess those qualities in your interactions with your friends.
