Nurturing Positive Friendships: A Reflection on Our Friendship Pillar Three

Dear all,

Today the two Saint-Loup Houses joined together to attend the weekly house meeting as a group, where we continued on with our Third Well-Being Pillar Movement. This week, we embark on an introspedctive journey within ourselves and our friendships, looking to understand the qualities that define our friendships with people.

Positive friendships play an incredibly important role in all of our lives.  As individuals, our ability to be attentive to the thoughts, feelings, and well-being of other people is focused on in the context of positive friendships.

Healthy friendships are built on mutual care, understanding, respect, and responsibility. The diverse responses the students gave when asked what unique qualites they thought they excelled in as a friends provided clear insight towards the positive connections that are promoted in our community.

In our continued pursuit of positive friendships, we recognize that the journey is reciprocal. As we seek the best in our friends, we also strive to be the best friends we can be. As we move forward in our friendship journey, let us carry these reflections with us, fostering an environment where positive friendships flourish, and each individual contributes to the collective growth and well-being of our community.

Pillar 3: Building Positive Friendships

Although new to the boys in Saint-Loup 9, the CDL community strives to better itself and our students with every stride. One of the more powerful ways we do this is through well-being Pillar Movements. Our next Pillar will focus on Building Positive Friendships.

Embarking on the third well-being pillar, we, as a community, are committed to cultivating positive relationships, with a specific focus on friendships. Recognizing friends as chosen family, we encourage introspection into the essence of these connections, ensuring they contribute positively to our lives. This week, we’re spotlighting the qualities we value in friends through an inspiring video, prompting students to reflect on the depth of their friendships.

This authentic connection, forged by shared experiences, becomes the cornerstone of our well-being movement. Watch the Pillar 3 video for key insights on fostering positive friendships, shaping an enriching path forward for everyone.

 

First day of school!

Today our boys enjoyed their first day at CDL. Although they are still getting accustomed to life in boarding, they are ready to take on the second semester of the year, meet many people, and make new friends.

Who said Mondays can’t be fun?

Everyone is now back and the house is warm and full of life! The weather is getting colder and a little homemade chocolate goodness goes a long way! Especially when the whole house smells amazing and we need some extra energy!

 

Mondays can be fun and yummy! 2024 here we come!!!

Happy Holidays from Saint Loup 4!

We like to think that the Secret Santa signals the beginning of our holidays, so only a few days before the break, the girls exchanged small gifts and hugs.

Happy Holidays to everyone and we hope this is only the start of the best holidays ever!

All our love to the families and friends along with our warmest wishes

The Saint Loup team ❤️
