Sunday was a beautiful day, a group of boys from the House and Mr Tom went for a local bike ride around the local area. The weather was amazing and the views to match, and if you look closely you can see Mt Blanc poking her head out in the distance of this photo.

Fransisco was ahead of the group leading the way, the boys spoke of  how amazing the local woods are and their desire to someday go camping, this is something we will definitely look into in the future.

The boys had a little history lesson on the ride, as we came across and old defensive post from the Swiss Army, here you can see Ryunosuke having a good look inside the small quarters for 3 men.

There were some uphills and some downhills, even though David seems to still argue this, he remembers it all being uphill.

This week we listened to the words of Jack Johnson and decided to take steps to be better at Recycling in the House. We have always recycled in the Olympus Boarding House but we thought that we could do better, and what better way to motivate the boys than some healthy competition.

As is the case with majority of the planet, plastic bottles are a not in short supply in the house, so to encourage the boys to recycle their bottles every time they have finished them, we are now offering 1 House point per bottle recycled, these points will go towards the overall House Competition.

As you can see we have had a successful first week, and the Grade 10s are well ahead.
