Today we had the pleasure to welcome back one of our alumni, Claudia.

The students spend some time at the auditorium today, where Claudia gave them some insight on university life.

She talked to our students about leaving the CDL bubble and going out to the world of a Uni student for the first time.

Claudia gave them some very useful tips and tricks, as well to advise when it comes to university and making choices.

The students were able to ask her questions and solve their doubts about this experience that most of them will be embarking very soon.

Claudia also talked about her new job as a lab researcher. She explained a little bit about the virus outbreak and the how’s and why’s of the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Tuesday night some of our girls participated on a basketball tournament against another CDL house, Old Portena.

They had loads of fun and were very competitive about winning this friendly match.

In the meantime, the other girls were cheering them up from the other side of the GYM.

We are very proud to say that Villa du Lac won  the first basketball tournament of the year!

After the match, some of the girls were very excited to join the basketball  club after school, so they can keep practicing for the next  tournament.

To end our weekend, we had some delicious snacks yesterday, prepared by Miss Leti.

Thank you Leti!

Came back always to spoil us 🙂

If it’s Saturday morning, it’s the perfect time to enjoy a nice walk to the lake.

To chill down, enjoy the sunny autumn morning and to take some nice photo souvenirs … during the workshop photo.

Stacy and Nastya really enjoyed getting unbusy and self-connecting nearby Leman Lake.

Sunday was just perfect for some house competition!

Once again our Villa du Lac girls proved their determination, team spirit, proactivity and competitivity, during each activity!

We were very proud of them and we all had a lot of fun!! 

Last weekend our Villa du Lac girls enjoyed a variety of outdoor activities in Alpes.

On Saturday they chose between climbing, orienteering, castle visit, horse riding, hiking in altitude& overnight in an alpine hut, etc. They had a lot of fun and they are looking forward for new similar experiences 🙂

And the last weekend of this year is here! We can’t believe how fast this year has been. Time to say goodbye and see you soon!! But before leaving we have had so much fun this weekend!

Dear all,

As you might remember, Villa du Lac won the house competition. So we asked the authorisation to treat ourselves with a pizza night in the garden! Lovely!

The gathering was cut short when it started raining, but luckily everyone had finished their plate before. Some even stayed to dance in the rain !
