Food has always been more than just fuel—it’s a way to connect, share, and celebrate who we are. At Olympus Boarding House, students recently came together for an International Dinner Night, a feast that showcased the diverse cultures within our community.

One of the highlights of the evening was the delicious Mexican spread. More than just tacos, the menu featured rich, flavourful dishes, a complex sauce with a deep history.

This night was about more than good food—it was about sharing traditions and strengthening bonds, reminding everyone of the power of culture and community.

Christian played DJ for the house, showcasing Mexican artists like Vicente Fernández and Peso Pluma.

The Olympus International Dinner Night wasn’t just a feast; it was a celebration of identity and togetherness. With full plates and happy hearts, students left with a deeper appreciation for their peers and the stories behind each dish.

Olympus House recently came together for an engaging and insightful session focused on self-acceptance and self-care. Our house representatives, Chris and Sultan, led thought-provoking discussions on these important topics, sparking meaningful conversations among our members.

Chris delved into the concept of “what fills your empty cup”—encouraging everyone to reflect on the activities and habits that help us recharge when we’re feeling stressed or tired. From exercise and hobbies to simply spending time with loved ones, the session was a great reminder of the importance of prioritizing our well-being.

Following the discussions, we amped up the energy with some friendly house competition games. One of the highlights was “Catch the Ball in the Cup,” where our house members put their skills to the test and competed for prizes. The enthusiasm and camaraderie on display truly embodied the spirit of Olympus House!

A massive well done to Chris and Sultan for stepping up and confidently presenting in front of the house. Their leadership and dedication to fostering important conversations were inspiring to us all. It was fantastic to see everyone engaged, learning, and having fun together.

Here’s to more enriching sessions and memorable moments in Olympus House!

This week at CDL, we embarked on a culinary journey to Lebanon! Students and staff had the chance to experience the rich and diverse flavors of Lebanese cuisine, bringing a taste of the Middle East right to our community.

From delicious mezze platters to aromatic spices and traditional dishes like hummus, tabbouleh, and kebabs, the dining hall was filled with incredible scents and flavors. More than just a meal, it was an opportunity to celebrate Lebanese culture, its traditions, and its warm hospitality.

Food has the power to bring people together, and this experience was no exception. A big thank you to everyone who made this event possible, it was truly a feast to remember!

From the Olympus blog, we would also like to highlight the important presence of our House Tutor, Callum, on stage. He led the presentation of Pillar II, “Anti-Bullying and Diversity,” summarizing what this pillar has meant for our community.

Key topics such as bullying and diversity are essential in an environment like CDL, where we believe that respect and multiculturalism form the foundation of a good education and harmonious coexistence.

Thank you Callum and Victor for leading this Pillar and helping to make students feel more confident and aware of these important issues.

What better way to start our February assembly than with a beautiful performance of the Chinese zodiac myth by a large group of students, including Edison? Bravo! No doubt, all that effort prior to the premiere was reflected on stage.

A nice representation in which we learned a bit more about which animals are included in the horoscope and the reasons, always with a moral behind them.

Edison took a long time to appear, as his character the pig, the last animal to arrive at the call to form part of the zodiac, required it. But he gave a brilliant and critically applauded performance at CDL.

Most importantly, everyone present had a good time and enjoyed learning a little more about international culture.
