This afternoon some of the girls prepared an amazing meal for dinner with the guidance of Lucélia! Thank you to Angela, Tanya, Hai Ngan, Carmen, Renee, Scarlett for your contribution! We then shared a wonderful meal as a House this evening.

Last night we had an assembly with guest speaker Dr. Malmberg who discussed the current situation with the COVID-19. He answered many questions that the students had regarding this virus.

We all need to remember to maintain proper hygiene by washing our hands regularly, using the hand sanitizers located around the entire school, and try to minimize the amount of times we touch our face. We will continue to support and calm the students while we go through this tough situation.

We hope you had a wonderful day, celebrating with your friends around you!

Sofia S and Lucélia baked a delicious chocolate cake filled with fresh strawberries for the House! The girls really enjoyed it!

      We have now started the fourth pillar of our Wellbeing Program that focuses on Making Safe and Responsible Choices. The girls watched a video about the choices we have to make on a daily basis that can lead to either safe or unsafe situations. Following the video we discussed what factors influence the decisions they make and also understanding the potential impacts our decisions have in our lives. After the discussion, the girls answered some questions on their own regarding their personal experiences with making safe and responsible choices. We had a great Wellbeing session introducing Pillar 4!

This weekend we all headed to Crans Montana for the second Mountain Weekend. The girls had a great time skiing in the sunshine and taking part in other activities!

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 😊

Today the girls enjoyed participating in a wellbeing activity that focused on analyzing friendships through social media. There were a variety of pictures of teenagers, with a caption underneath explaining their personality, likes and dislikes. The girls had to decide whether they would be friends with these people or not by placing a heart or sad face on the photo.

We then had a discussion on why each of the girls would or would not be friends with the people in the profile. Later on the girls had the chance to choose a profile photo of a teenager and then create a caption that explains how they would like their best friend to be. It was a lot of fun!

Go Karting! 

Ski Day in Villars!
