Monthly House Dinner

Posted by

We enjoyed another opportunity to eat together in our Olympus Boarding House. It is a great way to bond and create a sense of community. Sharing dishes family-style encourages conversation and fosters a welcoming atmosphere. It’s an opportunity to try new foods and discover different cultural cuisines which this week was Thai. The social aspect of this communal dining makes it a highlight of the month.

International Dinner: Senegal 😍

Posted by
Senegalese cuisine is diverse and flavorful, with influences from West Africa, France, and the Middle East. Some popular dishes include Thiebou Djeun, a spicy rice dish made with fish and vegetables, and MafΓ©, a stew made with peanuts and vegetables. Eating international cuisine is positive as it allows individuals to explore new tastes, learn about different cultures and broaden their palate. It also promotes diversity and brings people together by sharing meals and experiences. Furthermore, international cuisine helps to promote local businesses and supports local economies, particularly in tourist areas. Overall, eating international cuisine is a fulfilling and enriching experience that enriches personal and community life.
Here, are some pictures from this lovely evening:

Wellbeing Programme Pillar 3: Building Positive Friendships

Posted by

Do you embrace the international community, or do you prefer the convenience of building friendships within your own culture and language?

In this weeks assembly we questioned the boys on whether they had friends from different countries. All the boys thankfully stated they had. This is an important part of being in a Boarding Community and making friends internationally.

“It is easy to make friends with people from the same place”

“Making friends with people from other countries has opened my eyes to different cultures”

“I came here to make friends internationally”

“My friends here, have become like my brothers- it doesn’t matter what country they are from”

“Its a waste of an opportunity to only stay with a group from your own country”

“It’s helped me improve my English”
