Happy February Break from All of Us at Villa du Lac!

It’s hard to believe, but February break has arrived faster than we could have imagined. Time seems to be flying by, and with the hustle of the first part of the school year behind us, we’re all in need of some well-deserved rest and relaxation.

We want to wish everyone in CDL a great and restful week off! Whether you’re spending your break with family near or far, heading off on a ski week in Crans Montana, or braving the cold (and hoping for a glimpse of the Northern Lights) in Iceland, we hope this break fills your cup up with adventure, rest and fun.

No matter where you’re headed or how you’re spending the break, we hope this time gives you the chance to recharge, explore new places, or simply take a moment to unwind.

The house will reopen on March 1st from 09:00 am and all students are to return to the house by 18:30 on March 2nd.

We look forward to seeing you all back soon and we hope that you have a fantastic February break.

The best of wishes,

The Villa du Lac team ⭐️

This week, we want to highlight Aurora for her incredible commitment and dedication. Last week, she actively participated in the Boarding Assembly, representing Villa du Lac in the Charity Committee. Her enthusiasm and hard work in charitable initiatives reflect her strong sense of responsibility and teamwork, inspiring her peers to get involved in projects that make a difference.

Thank you, Aurora, for your excellent work and for being a role model within our community! 👏✨

This weekend, our students enjoyed a variety of activities that made the days fly by. From sports like tennis and badminton to a fun cooking session, plus an afternoon spent preparing a delicious cheesecake on Saturday.

Additionally, we gathered with other boarding houses to watch Inside Out, a movie that made us reflect on our emotions while sharing (along with some delicious snacks) a great time together. All of this was accompanied by wonderful sunshine, allowing us to make the most of every moment.

Now, with renewed energy, we are ready to take on the last week before the February Break. Let’s go for it! 💪✨

Can you think of a better way to spend a Saturday?

Today, our school woke up to an atmosphere filled with joy, excitement, and, most of all, LOVE. From the very start of the morning, the girls received a special surprise: as they opened their eyes, they found a personalized note reminding them just how special they are. 🌸✨

Throughout the day, the hallways have been filled with flowers, laughter, and warm embraces. Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romantic love—it’s also about friendship, kindness, and the sense of family we build in our home. 💕

Because love is found in the little things: in words of encouragement, in shared moments, and in the certainty that here, they will always find support and friendship.

💌🌹 Happy Valentine’s Day to all!

Tonight, we enjoyed a very special dinner with a taste of Mexico. We gathered around the table to share delicious tacos with cheese, ground beef, and salad. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, conversations, and the warm feeling that makes our dinners together so special.

Beyond the food, these moments are a great opportunity to strengthen bonds, share stories from the day, and feel at home. There’s nothing like a good meal in great company to end the day with a smile!

Yesterday, we held our monthly boarding assembly, a special moment to share achievements, learn together, and celebrate the efforts of our community.

The event started with an outstanding piano performance that captivated everyone. Then, we enjoyed a vibrant presentation about the Lunar New Year, where our students explained the significance of the animals in the Chinese zodiac. After two weeks of preparation, they delivered a spectacular performance, with a beautifully decorated stage that truly brought the tradition to life. Congratulations to all the participants for their dedication and creativity!

We also took the time to recognize the winners of the November Fitness Challenge. The students who participated the most will have the exciting opportunity to visit Lausanne and enjoy a trampoline park. A well-deserved reward for their effort and commitment!

Later on, two of our House Tutors introduced Pillar 2, reinforcing our values and commitments within the community. In addition, the Charity Committee presented a new project aimed at making a positive impact through acts of kindness and generosity.

To conclude, we learned about an initiative focused on repurposing clothing. The presentation introduced a company that collects unwanted garments, remodels them, and gives them a second life—promoting sustainability and responsible consumption.

A huge thank you to all the students and staff members who made this boarding assembly possible. Your enthusiasm and dedication continue to make our community an inspiring and vibrant place. See you at the next one! 🎉👏

This week, we want to recognize the incredible work of Viviana, who has taken on her new role as House Representative with outstanding dedication and enthusiasm. From day one, she has exceeded all expectations, demonstrating leadership and creativity in problem-solving.

Last week, she came up with a brilliant solution to address the recurring issue of “borrowing” food without permission, helping to foster a more respectful and considerate environment in the house. Additionally, she has introduced innovative ideas to encourage punctuality and tidiness, implementing small rewards and consequences to motivate everyone to do their best.

👏 Thank you, Vivi, for your dedication and hard work! We are sure you will continue making a positive impact on our community. 💙✨
