Today we had the third session of Wellbeing. 💆♀️
Everyone mediated for 10 minutes in silence. Then, we sat outside and coloured the different parts of a black and white clock, to have a visual idea of their schedules. House Parents and Tutors shared healthy coping mechanisms to better manage sadness and stress when feeling overwhelmed.
Voici un mercredi à Villa du Lac! ☀️
Behold a Wednesday at Villa du Lac! ☀️
Après les activités/temps d’étude et avant le dîner, on a fait des biscuits pour la Réunion de ce soir en écoutant un peu de Dinah Washington et Frank Sinatra🎶
After the activities/study hall and before dinner, we baked cookies for the House Meeting this evening to the sound of Dinah Washington and Frank Sinatra🎶
Après dîner, pendant l’heure de convivialité on promeut toujours le rassemblement amical entre élèves internes et staff à l’internat. Ici au CdL on est une grande famille, et les familles jouent au UNO!
After dinner, during social hour we encourage convivial interaction between boarding students and boarding staff. Here at CdL we are a big family, and big families play UNO!
Entre-temps, les biscuits sont prêts! 😍
In the meantime, cookies are ready! 😍
La Réunion, qui se déroule tous les mercredis soir, c’est très bien passée. Notamment, deux filles ont été annoncées House Prefects! Félicitations aux deux seniors qui l’ont bien mérité!
The House Meeting, which we have every Wednesday evening, went very well. Notably, two girls were announced House Prefects! Congratulations to the two seniors who most definitely deserved it!
As part of our Wellbeing Program, today we talked about how we manage our time.
We gathered outside enjoying the good weather and drew the different parts that make up our day. Within our small groups, we recognized how we can improve our routines to feel more organized and less overwhelmed.
It was a good exercise 🙂
While the campus at Collège du Léman has the feel of a safe and sheltered community, it is just nine kilometres from the city of Geneva, and provides students with opportunities to explore the country and the communities around them.

What a great welcome to everyone in Villa du Lac!
We enjoyed our garden, while we played some games to get to know each other.
Welcome back, girls!
We missed you over the summer 🙂
Each of Collège du Léman’s boarding students holds a special and unique place. Whether your child is a first-time boarder or at ease away from home, the warm welcome of our boarding houses guarantees a smooth transition into their second family.

It is very good to be back!
We’re looking forward to seeing and meeting all of our girls.
Happy Birthday to all our girls celebrating their day over the summer Holidays! Hope you all enjoy the celebrations.
It’s the last day of school today, and with that comes many mixed emotions.
From the VDL team, we’d just like to say a big thank you to all our girls for an incredible year, for all the memories, all the laughs, all the ups and all the downs. You made this house’s first ever year an unforgettable one.
To all the girls leaving CDL, goodbye and you’ll be missed. To all those coming back after the Summer, we can’t wait to welcome you back.
Have an amazing summer everyone!!
