ECAs

MYP4 and MYP5 students have enthusiastically embraced extracurricular activities this term, with all of them committing to at least three ECAs. Notably, some students have gone above and beyond, signing up for as many as four activities. Although our DPs are asked to do at least one, many of them take two on a regular basis.

Exciting news on the sports front – we've introduced new offerings like padel tennis, and in November, we're set to host our inaugural international school padel tournament. Horseback riding, VTT, golf, dog walking, boxing and robotics have also captured our students' interests.

Our well-equipped gym has been buzzing with activity as our dedicated boarders rarely miss a workout. Additionally, students can choose from academic subject clinics, engaging creative activities, and charitable endeavours such as baking, with proceeds generously benefiting our favourite NGOs.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

On Friday 6th October 2023, M2 and M3 students gave their time to support the Commune of Ollon in removing fencing around the ski area in Bretaye ahead of the winter sports season beginning this year.

They worked efficiently and showed teamwork. Our guides were very impressed with their dedication to get the job completed. It was great to see our students interact with the local commune, as they got to practise their French communication skills as well.

We are working on more opportunities and community links in the coming terms, so that students can be proud of and feel fully part of the area in which they are growing up.

SCHOOL TRIPS

Our students enjoyed the thrilling roller coasters at Europa Park, the largest theme park in Germany.

They travelled by luxury coach arriving in Germany in the early evening ready for some serious fun at the water park Rulantica. The two-day trip was memorable for them, and they all had great fun!

SPORTS, TOURNAMENTS AND OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

Sports tournaments and outdoor adventures are integral parts of our community vision. Our students engage in spirited competitions against other International Schools including in football, golf, volleyball and mountain biking.

Team sports within the Beau Site are equally important for fostering a great spirit within the boarding house. Events such as the Icebreaker at the start of term, the recent School Challenge and the Juventus Soccer Training Camp promote teamwork and healthy competition.

Beyond the campus, Beau Site students embarked on exciting outdoor adventures, embracing the beauty of the Swiss Alps and nurturing a love for the great outdoors.

WELL BEING

Our well-being activities feature weekly in-house Yoga sessions and termly spa visits, providing a serene escape and relaxation.

We also spend time with the school pets which include rabbits from the School Farm, not to mention the daily opportunities to walk our many school dogs!

Together, these activities promote holistic well-being, helping students recharge and find inner calm at Chalet Beau-Site.
