Ole Ole! Spanish dinner

Today is Wednesday, and that means… International dinner!

As we all know, happiness starts in your stomach, and today we were lucky to enjoy a Spanish dinner: paella, chicken, bread with tomato, chorizo, patatas bravas and we finished with a delicious dessert: crema catalana! All this accompanied by Spanish music and a nice decoration of the dining room.

If you would like to see more photos and opinions, they will be in the school magazine!!!

Thank you very much for making us enjoy these wonderful moments and dinners in our great big home: CDL โ™ฅ

Weekend vibes: big smiles, big memories

This weekend, our students had some unforgettable experiences, with a range of activities both on and off campus.

Exploring Europa Park: some students had the opportunity to enjoy two exciting days at Europa Park, one of Europe’s largest and most popular theme parks. Amidst adrenaline-filled rides, breath taking shows and delicious food, our girls not only had fun, but also strengthened their bonds of friendship. It was an experience they will surely remember for a long time to come.

Meanwhile, another group of students stayed at CDL, enjoying a variety of activities. There were horseback riding, yoga and Pilates classes, perfect for relaxing and connecting with the body. There was also time for sports such as badminton, tennis, golf and trampoline jumping, allowing the students to stay active and have fun at the same time.

All in all, it was a weekend full of energy, creativity and connection. At CDL, we love to offer our students varied options to make the most of their free time, always in a safe and fun environment.

Thank you for this weekend and let’s start the week with energy!

First ”boarders of the week” <3

We are thriller to congratulate Rafaela and Melina, our boarders of the week.

Both have filled the house with energy and happiness with their good mood and their smiles. Always arrange to participate in everything that is proposed to them, trying activities, sports, meeting different people, making new friends… And not only that, but encouraging the rest of the girls to participate!

Well done, girls! We are so happy to have you with us. Keep shining and spreading your joy โœจ.

 

Weekend Activities at Villa du Lac

This weekend the girls in Villa du Lac enjoyed a variety of fun activities such as tennis, body shaping, golf, Pilates and stretching. They also tried their hand at cooking and made a delicious lasagne while others volunteered at the local lake clean up.

Sunday afternoon was spent dabbling in a game of chess at Leman and finished off with a delicious birthday cake to celebrate Pariaโ€™s birthday.

The girls really enjoyed their weekend whether it was by partaking in activities, spending quality time with friends or getting some well deserved rest and recover after a busy first month in school.

Here are some snapshots from the weekend!

Dinner at home – Italy

Today we had our first dinner at home this year! We enjoyed ITALIAN FOOD: meat lasagne and for dessert, tiramisu. We also had a bit of karaoke to end the night, laughing and singing to our favourite songs!

It feels so special to be able to share these moments together, creating memories and enjoy a home-cooked meal at least once a month. These are the little things that make life so meaningful.

CDL exploring the swiss alps

This weekend we wanted to go beyond the weekend activities and we have gone…. To the Swiss Alps!

Being in a country surrounded by nature, mountains, animals and outdoor sports and activities gives us the opportunity to explore and learn about the world around us, and indeed, that is what we did. They have learned about the flora and fauna, how to find their way in nature if they are lost, how to make a fire or even how to cook in the middle of the forest! Yes, they have become real survivors!ย 

For the more sporty ones we have been able to try out activities such as climbing, mountain biking or even zip lining (if you are not afraid of heights you have to try it)!ย 

But as we all know, life is not the same if you don’t share it with people. that’s why the important thing about this weekend that takes place every year is to have done it together. Meeting the people who are going to be your friends, colleagues and neighbours for the whole year is the magic of this trip.

Thank you very much for this adventure full of wonderful moments, laughter and emotions , for your attitude and willingness to always have a good time. And now…. To think about the next trip… TANZANIA!!!!
