Hello everyone!

Tonight Luisa and Manuela got the chance to try a traditional Portuguese dish called “Bifana”, made with pork, onion, tomato sauce and bread.

Next week, we will be cooking Italian food!

We are now approaching the third week of delivering the first pillar of our wellbeing programme in our Boarding Houses – ‘Nurturing Healthy Bodies and Minds’. 

Throughout this pillar we will be ensuring our students understand the importance of taking care of our bodies and our minds in our day to day lives. Furthermore, we will be highlighting sport participation, sleeping patterns, nutrition and relaxation methods, as sub topics. With the students, we will discuss and discover how all these could play a key role in maintaining a healthy balance.

This week we will be asking the students how a healthy balanced diet can help with sports performance, as well as academic performance, brain development and growth. We will show the videos below to the students.

Timur and Antoni are the student wellbeing advocates for our Boarding House and they will be presenting in our wellbeing session again this week. They will be sharing their experiences and answering a range of questions regarding the importance of good nutrition for sports and everyday life.

Hello everyone!

Our 11 and 12 girls went to Verbier to enjoy a sunny and funny weekend in the mountains.

We arrived on Friday, and our girls had some free time to have dinner and discover the city.

Today Skyler, Sally, Joclyn, Roberta, Ingrid and Amaliya visited Lausanne as it was a bank holiday in the canton of Geneva. It was a lovely sunny day and the girls enjoyed some shopping and the amazing food Lausanne had to offer!

Happy birthday Sara and Rin! <3

Much love,

It was a close call, but unfortunately Villa du Lac won by 3 small points, however, it is safe to say that is was a win regarding team spirit!
