Dear all,

On this special Thanksgiving day, we expressed our gratitude for the abundance of blessings in our lives. Heartfelt messages poured in, resonating with appreciation and thankfulness. Many of the girls at Villa du Lac shared their profound gratitude for their families, friends, food, and the simple joy of being alive!

Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you! From the entire Villa du Lac Team, we want to extend our sincere thanks to all the remarkable young women in our house, each contributing their distinct and wonderful personalities to our daily lives. Your uniqueness is valued, and we are grateful for each of you.

In the spirit of recognizing the exceptional individuals who contribute to the warmth and camaraderie within our boarding family, we are delighted to announce the first-ever “Boarder of the Week” at Villa du Lac.

While every girl in our house possesses remarkable qualities, it’s heartening to shine a spotlight on those who go above and beyond in demonstrating kindness and support. This week, we are happy to congratulate Paria for earning this special honor.

Despite facing the challenges of being unwell last week, Paria showcased an outstanding sense of teamwork and collaboration. Her actions exemplify the true essence of what it means to be part of a supportive community. Even in the face of adversity, Paria’s kindness and willingness to help others have not gone unnoticed.

Best wishes,

Today we celebrate the talent of one of our brilliant girl; Tonya. She has recently demonstrated an extraordinary performance that did not go unnoticed.

In addition to her outstanding talent, we cannot overlook the brilliance of her humor. Tonya has the rare gift of bringing a smile to everyone around her.

It is a privilege for us to see a student like Tonya not only succeed but also bring a special light to our boarding family. We are confident that her future will be as bright as her personality, and we look forward to witnessing all the extraordinary achievements that lie ahead.

Congratulations, Tonya! Keep shining ✨

Dear all,

This weekend some of the girls went to Copenhagen and spent some quality time together despite the cold! They had a fantastic time exploring the beautiful city center and came back tired but very happy.

For those staying in the house, we started to get a little bit festive. You might say “It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!”. We had some tasty chocolate brownies, sang karaoke, played Just Dance, drank hot chocolate and even started decorating the house. For some of our more adventurous girls, a trip to Andilly Christmas Park was taken and if there had been space in the bus, we are quite certain that they would have brought at least one donkey home!

Not only were we getting festive in the house, but the charity Christmas box event took place in Leman and a number of the girls went to help pack gifts for disadvantaged children around Europe. It is a fantastic charity and we are so proud that our girls got involved! 🎁💖🌲

Today we are celebrating “Odd Socks Day” to encourage students and staff to embrace individuality and differences by wearing mismatched socks. The not matching socks represent the uniqueness of each individual, like all the amazing girls we have in Villa du lac. The emphasis is on appreciating differences and discouraging judgment based on appearances. Well done for joining this lovely initiative! 🧦  #OddSocksDay #AntiBullyingWeek

Best wishes,

We’re excited to share some wonderful news! This weekend, our girls embarked on an exciting adventure to Europa Park. Packed with enthusiasm, they set off on a journey filled with thrilling rides and unforgettable moments.

We trust that this experience will not only be entertaining but also contribute to the overall growth and development of our girls. We look forward to hearing their stories and seeing the smiles on their faces when they return.

Wishing our girls a fantastic time at Europa Park!
