And the last weekend of this year is here! We can’t believe how fast this year has been. Time to say goodbye and see you soon!! But before leaving we have had so much fun this weekend!

Dear all,

As you might remember, Villa du Lac won the house competition. So we asked the authorisation to treat ourselves with a pizza night in the garden! Lovely!

The gathering was cut short when it started raining, but luckily everyone had finished their plate before. Some even stayed to dance in the rain !

Dear all,

What a crazy weekend we just had !

We had the classic activities (cooking, tennis, biking)… + Donut boat on Saturday ! Also, today (Sunday), we all gathered in Concha’s garden for the End of Year party!! It was amazing, the pool was open, and there were many activities: inflatable castle, sumo suits, water slide, laser tag, bubbles, even pétanque. A lovely way to finish the year and relax before the exams. Our students (and staff!) had so much fun. The weather was great, and it definitely feels like summer is just around the corner.

Dear all,

Yesterday, we had our last boarding assembly for this year !

We were told Villa du Lac won the inter-house competition for 2020/2021, we are super proud of ourselves ! Yay !!

We’ve been able to reflect on the successes of all of CDL boarding houses this year, and more broadly about all the projects CDL participated in. We’re very happy to be part of such a lovely community with a strong sense of values and internationalism. It’s all about RISE !

We also had the conclusion phase of our Pillar 5 of the Wellbeing Project. Miss Jody, our boarding counsellor, uploaded videos to talk about consent. Our girls were very receptive and debated over the subject.

We also had a talk about what was going to change for 2021/2022; hopefully the worst of the pandemic is behind us and we’ll soon be able to reshape the restrictions we’ve been living with for the past year and a half.

Today some of the Villa du Lac’s girls have participated in the Samedi du Partage: a collection in the local supermarkets of food and basic hygiene items generously donated by shoppers to help people in need.

We are very proud of the positive attitude and help of our girls in this initiative. Well done Emilia, Valentina, Lisa, Petra, Lola and Emma!
