Wellbeing Pillar 4, Week 3: Making Safe & Responsible Choices – Empathy & Respect

Tonight, we delivered the final session of Pillar 4: Making Safe and Responsible Choices, which focused on Empathy & Respect, particularly in the context of conflict resolution.

We played an engaging role-playing scenario game, created just for this pillar, called “Whose Mess Is It?” In this game, the students learned how to solve common household arguments with empathy and respect for one another.

This session allowed our students to gain a deeper understanding of the important impact that empathy and respect can have when solving disputes. We look forward to applying what we learned to real-life scenarios. Well done, Terray and Champs des Bois, for your enthusiastic participation in this pillar!

 

Weekend Activities – May, Let Your Sun Shine!

What a glorious weekend it has been! Collège du Léman has been bathed in sunshine, and we’ve taken every opportunity possible to bask in the golden rays this weekend.

We enjoyed a variety of activities on Saturday and Sunday, including Cooking, Wakeboarding, participating in the 24 hour charity fun run, and, of course, Cycling, in preparation for the upcoming Léman Journey!

This weekend’s Cycling session was especially exciting as the girls embarked on a short excursion between the picturesque villages of Coppet and Nyon.

We are all looking forward to more time outside, and more opportunities to enjoy beautiful Lake Geneva.

Léman Journey Program Training + May Fitness Challenge!

May is going to be a month of physical activity for Terray! Training for the Léman Journey Program, an initiative to raise money for the organization World Bicycle Relief, has officially kicked off. This organization provides bicycles to individuals in developing countries, and our students have an amazing opportunity to contribute to these life-changing efforts.

Our girls tested out bicycles this week and got their bearings in preparation for this incredible 190km cycling journey around Lake Geneva that they will embark on from June 7th-9th.

A link to our fundraising page can be found here, where you can register to support this fantastic cause. Please share this link with family, friends, and on social media–every donation counts!

We have also started the May fitness Challenge, where our girls have the opportunity to complete a different physical feat each day of the month, in order to stay active and grounded.

Check out some photos of our girls preparing for the Léman Journey Program below, and take a look at the May Fitness Challenge as well. We are looking forward to staying active this spring!
