A very important topic was brought up during our virtual house assembly, which is also a part of our Wellbeing  Pastoral Programme. Peer pressure and the role of positive friendships in youth development. Adolescence is a period of rapid change —physically, emotionally, and socially—and relationships with friends play an important role in adolescents’ lives as they become increasingly independent, develop their own identity, and grapple with self-esteem. Positive friendships provide youth with companionship, support, and a sense of belonging. They can encourage or reinforce healthy behaviours, and evidence suggests that positive companies in adolescence can lay the groundwork for successful adult relationships, including romantic relationships.

Following our Pastoral Programme, we met this evening to speak about positive and toxic Friendships, what it means for each of us and what we consider is essential in a friendship relationship.

A huge thank you to our Boarding Directors, Mr Usher, Mme Salamin and Mr Salva for this delicious snack !!

On Saturday the Boarding School headed for the mountains (Leysin and Villars) for a ski day of fun in the snow. The girls had a great time skiing and snowboarding with plenty of fresh snow.
