Today we enjoyed a delicious Spanish dinner that featured some of the country’s most iconic dishes.

On the menu: calamares, patatas bravas, gazpacho, … and to top it all off… a creamy cheesecake for dessert!

The evening was full of flavor and fun, and it gave us a wonderful taste of Spanish culture right before our October break.

We also had our final evening assembly tonight; a lovely moment to reflect on the past weeks, celebrate our time together, and get excited for what’s ahead.

Here’s a photo we took just before bedtime! Full bellies, happy faces, and sweet dreams on the way!

Buenas noches a tod@s — good night, everyone!

Good afternoon,

Today we had a fun dancing session in the boarding house before the assembly!

Later, we went to our boarding assembly, where we talked about responsibility. We shared ideas about what it means to be responsible in our daily lives and how we can support each other in the house.

With the October break getting closer, it was nice to have a mix of fun and reflection today. We’re all looking forward to some rest, but also making the most of the time we have together before the holidays.

Today our little ones of the house, came back from their school trip! We’re so happy to have them back!

We got to enjoy a dinner themed around China!

The dishes speak for themselves—and so do the our mouths!

Here you can see some of the photos 😎😛

Hello!

Today the Welcome Barbecue took place at Concha Garden. We enjoyed the lovely atmosphere, the dinner, the cupcake games, and a fantastic performance by the Music Production group, with Jade taking part.

Best regards to everyone!

Hello everyone!

As we mentioned before, this week is Respect Week at CDL, and to celebrate, we gathered in Mandela to take part in a special activity together.

We spent time reflecting on what respect means, sharing ideas, and creating beautiful murals to decorate the school. It was a lovely moment where students from different Houses came together, collaborated, and expressed themselves through art.

The drawings turned out amazing — such creativity and thoughtfulness! It’s always great to share meaningful moments like this with others.

We’re continuing with more activities throughout the week, so we’ll keep you posted!

We started the week by welcoming Kate from Portena Boarding House, who came to help the girls with their schoolwork.

Today we began Respect Week at CDL, and Kate explained the activities we will be doing on this topic. The girls had a chance to reflect on the meaning of respect.

Thank you, Kate — you’re always welcome to our house!

And of course, we’re happy to announce that Flora was chosen as Boarder of the Week yesterday!

We congratulated her for the great progress she’s made in adapting, the lovely relationship she has with her peers and the kindness she shows us every day.

It’s such a joy to see your smile, Flora.  Thank you!❤️

We’ll keep you updated.

Have a great week!

We’re ending this Friday on a joyful note — it’s Sora’s birthday! 🥳

Not everyone is home today — Flora, Kapa, Kailin, and Maria are off having fun at Europa Park, and Daria is spending the weekend with her visiting family. But that didn’t stop us from making Sora’s evening extra special!

After going out for dinner with her sister, Sora came home to a sweet surprise — candles lit on her birthday cheesecake, and all of us waiting to celebrate with her. The girls gave her the beautiful cards and thoughtful gifts they had prepared, and we all shared a slice of that delicious cheesecake…

Happy Birthday, Sora!!! 🎈🎁🎊

And now… we’re signing off because it’s time to watch K-Pop: Demon Hunters together!

Good night, everyone! 🌙✨

Hey everyone!

Today marked our second boarding assembly, and the theme was all about one powerful word: RESPECT. We dove into what it really means, with some inspiring speeches and thoughtful presentations from our amazing house parents, touching on everything from kindness to clear communication.

And guess what? Mr. Gordon took us on a musical detour back to the swingin’ 60s with none other than Aretha Franklin and her legendary anthem, “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” — guaranteed to get your toes tapping and your thoughts spinning.

Mr. Ronan also gave us a solid reminder: own your actions & BE KIND! If you don’t take responsibility, who will? It was one of those moments that makes you think and sticks with you long after. Thank you Mr. Ronan for a powerful introspection 🙂

The excitement doesn’t stop there — we’re gearing up for our big trip to Europa Park. The countdown is officially ON. Get ready for laughter, adventure, and maybe a rollercoaster scream or two!

We did miss Sora and Flora, who are off on a school trip (lucky them!), but they’ll be back tomorrow with stories of their own — and we can’t wait to hear all about it.

Until next time, we’re keeping the good vibes going, making memories, and learning together every step of the way.

See you soon!

Tonight, our dining hall was filled with the vibrant flavors and aromas of Brazil, as we enjoyed a delicious traditional Brazilian dinner that truly transported us across the Atlantic!

The menu featured:

Bobó de camarão – a creamy, comforting dish made with shrimp and cassava (yuca), full of flavor and warmth.

Arroz branco – classic Brazilian white rice, the perfect side.

Mandioca (yuca) – a starchy root vegetable often compared to potato, but with a uniquely satisfying texture.

And the highlight for many…

🍰 Pavê Brasileiro for dessert! This layered treat, made with biscuits, cream, and chocolate, absolutely stole the show. We think it was the crowd favorite of the night!

📣 And We Have an Announcement!

We are thrilled to announce that Sora is our Boarder of the Week! 💫

Sora has been recognized for her sweetness, her respectful attitude at all times, and her willingness to support her housemates whenever they need a helping hand. She is also incredibly dedicated during study hours, setting a great example for others.

Thank you, Sora, for being such a positive presence in our community. We’re so lucky to have you on the team!

Obrigada to everyone who made this special dinner possible – and parabéns, Sora!

Hello everyone!
