where are THEY NOW
Hugo, Manon and Camille Libine Where do you live now? We live in Switzerland in a city called Lausanne. What brought you there? My dad’s work brought us here. He is a programme manager and has a new project in Switzerland after finishing the one in Hong Kong. Switzerland is also our home country. Where do you go to school? We go to the International School of Lausanne, also known as ISL. What are some differences between your school and Discovery College? Our school is way smaller than DC. The lunch and snack breaks are a little bit longer. It is under construction at the moment because they are making the school bigger. We also have an artificial turf football pitch, but we don’t have a swimming pool. Basically the grass is made out of plastic. During the winter months, the whole primary school goes skiing every Friday for 10 weeks. What types of activities are you involved in? Hugo is involved in Forest Hiking where he does fun activities in a forest next to our school. He is also does the iPad tech club and Art. Manon is involved in movie making and volleyball. She also sings a lot and is writing her first novel. Camille is tutoring a younger student after school and helps with the lighting for shows. In winter, we go skiing and Manon has learned to snowboard. What do you like best about living in your new home; how is it different from living in Hong Kong? There is less pollution than in Hong Kong, and our town is bigger than Discovery Bay... and our cat can go outside. In winter it snows and we have lots of fun skiing and sledding. But there is one thing that Switzerland can not replace – our long lost friends from Hong Kong and Discovery College.
