February Assembly
In today’s assembly the girls were reminded of the great job they are doing academically.
We reviewed our third wellbeing pillar, Building Positive Relationships, and had the pleasure to see the projects of some of our wonderful boarders.
During this assembly we also touched on the topic of the pandemic, as we are still taking measures to keep our community safe.
As part of these measures we held this months assembly at the boarding house.
One of our boarders, Anastasiia, shared very special charity project she participated on, and her plans to continue this charity in the future.

First Ski Weekend in Cran Montana!
Our first Ski Weekend in Cran Montana was amazing! As per CDL tradition, we had a choice of activities – skiing, snowboarding, excursion, skating, trampoline, snow tubing, free time in Cran Montana and study hall (with a great view).
Building Positive Relationships
This month our girls are learning about positive relationships.
On our third pillar we introduced Building Positive Relationships.
Building positive relationships with people is so important for our own sense of wellbeing.
During this pillar we will cover topics such as “What makes a good friend?”, toxic relationships, boundaries and positive relationships.
If you are interested in knowing more about this topic, please find a video attached to this post.
Fun at the weekend!
