As the weather gets chilly and the air becomes crisp, we find ourselves immersed in the spirit of Thanksgiving here at our beloved home. This special time of the year is not just about turkey and pumpkin pie; it’s about gratitude, reflection, and coming together.

In moments like this, it seems like time pauses as we swap stories and reminisce about the quirks that make each of us unique. We share anecdotes that become a part of our collective narrative. From the hilarious mishaps of the last semester to the triumphs that still bring smiles to our faces.

Thanksgiving reminds us to cherish these moments, the joy of connecting with friends who feel like family, and the simple pleasure of being surrounded by people who understand and appreciate us.

Wishing you all a Thanksgiving filled with joy, laughter, and the company of those you hold deal.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍂🍂

RISE is an acronym for Respect, Internationalism, Spirit, and Excellence – the core values of College du Leman. Our school community comprises more than 110 nationalities and cultures, and our RISE values are at the heart of everything we do. We believe in respecting diversity, which is the hallmark of our school community. Our students understand that every individual is unique, and they learn to value and appreciate these differences for the richness they bring to the school and wider community. We are confident and strong in our values and beliefs, and we strive to instil these values in our students.

Following the first challenge, which involved creating an audio piece highlighting numerous similarities, we are set to progress to the second activity of pillar 2 in tonight’s meeting. Specifically, this activity pertains to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. Our advocates’ team has proposed an interactive Question and Answer designed to provide insights into issues related to sexual orientation or gender identity. Our students will participate, scanning the QR code on the poster. Their responses( entirely anonymous) will be gathered and collated in a shared document for subsequent discussion.

We wish you a wonderful day! 

Today, we are thrilled to celebrate Odd Socks Day, an exciting initiative that embraces and celebrates the unique qualities that make each of us special. This initiative is part of our commitment to Anti-Bullying Week, promoted by our Wellbeing Advocates. We encourage all our students to join in by wearing odd socks to school, symbolizing and celebrating the wonderful diversity that makes each of us unique!

This weekend Venus, Maria Clara and Defne had the opportunity to spend the weekend at Europa Park in Germany. A lot of fun was had by all as we enjoyed the exciting rides and delicious food that was on offer!
