We have started our Wellbeing Program with the Pilar 1: Healthy Bodies and Minds. The girls are choosing their projects and some great ideas are arising. During the next weeks, we will cover important topics such as nutrition, exercise, and emotional regulation. We are happy with the very enthusiastic attitude in the house.

Back at home after holidays
Villa du Lac girls are back, safe and happy from their February break.
Some of them traveled with their families or friends to various nice destinations in Europe (Lisbon, Porto, London, Lyon, etc.) or far-away in Dubai, Canada or USA.
Others enjoyed a full ski weekend organized by CdL in Crans-Montana, skiing and having plenty activities with their mates.
Some others traveled around Switzerland with their beloved ones (Zurich, Lausanne, Bern, Lugano, etc.) or rested around Geneva-Lausanne.
A part of our girls spent a restful time back home, with their families and childhood friends.
However, most of Villa du Lac girls said they had a good balance between resting, studying and having fun. Now they are back on track, ready to start the 3rd Marking Period 😊
Weekend Activities
Building positive friendships
This week we have started a new pillar in our Well-being program. We will develop this third pillar for the next weeks and it is about building positive friendships. As an introduction to the new topic, we had a presentation from Yasmina and Hai Ngan. Friendship is a very important value in our house and we hope this will be very useful for our girls.
Winter Break
Visiting Gruyère
On Sunday some of our students went on an excursion to Gruyère, a beautiful medieval town, well known for the cheese which it’s named after. Our girls, Yasmina, Hai Ngan, Fabiola and Angela enjoyed the sunny day at this beautiful spot where they also had the chance to share a Fondue.
Also, they had the opportunity to visit Maison Cailler, the Chocolate Factory where they learned about how the chocolate is made. At the end of the tour they were able to taste some of the delicious sweets of Cailler.
We are happy to see that the girls enjoyed this excursion!
Trip to Europa Park
This weekend some of our girls went to Europa Park and the Christmas market in Freiburg. It was a great opportunity for them to travel with friends from other Boarding Houses as well. They had a lot of fun!
Sofia, Maeva, Rebeca and Peggy enjoyed the roller coasters, the attractions in the park and came back very happy.
