Latest ACLA News.
New Strategic Planning Committee:
After an online advertisement circulated to
registered members on www.cdl-family.com,
the first ACLA strategic planning committee now has 9 committee members representing
almost every continent of the world, and every decade of CDL alumni.
The committee’s objective is to develop goals
and strategies that will help enhance the action and relevancy of our
association's alumni programming.
In order to achieve this, members will
brainstorm on several topics including:
- Engaging the
community - How do we
encourage alumni and student participation in alumni programs? Who
should we target? How do we reach both recent graduates and older
alumni? How do we do more to increase participation from the Francophone
Section?
- Serving the
community - How many
programs do we run? Should we be aiming at many small reunions and
events spread out all over the globe or at running only a few, larger
events? Should we be providing other services such as career counselling
or support, travel opportunities, etc.?
- Supporting
learning and CDL - Are there
areas in which we can support the programs offered by Collège du Léman?
How do we share our knowledge and experience with current students,
teachers and administrators? Should the association run some events
jointly with school departments?
A survey will soon
be circulated to alumni and ACLA members asking for input on our discussions.
For any questions,
or to participate in our strategic planning effort, email Alexis at alumni@cdl.ch.

Latest CDL News.
Morning
News Broadcast: The
executive committee of the student government, along with some helpful
friends, now stay after school every day for an hour to film a news broadcast
for the next morning. Any information for the students about sporting events,
activities, etc. is conveyed through this broadcast. There's still a lot of
work to be done to make it more professional, but the original initiative
that the student government took is growing as the quality of the broadcast
improves.
Halloween
Dance: This year's Halloween
dance will be an event to remember! The student government, along with the
National Honor Society, are planning a night with a haunted house, fortune
telling, themed food, and a spooky surprise that is top secret...Everyone in
the high school and the middle school will want to be there!
Painting
the Lounge: Last year, the juniors and
seniors at CDL were provided with a comfortable student lounge, but its walls
are a bare white. The student government has held a competition for ideas on
how to decorate it, and they have been submitted. After approval by the
administration, the ideas will be voted on by the junior and senior classes,
and the decided decoration idea will be put into action as soon as possible.
Featured Alumni of the month.
