The teenage years are not always easy, particularly in this fast-changing world. Thus, it is important that every student feels listened to and that they have someone they can talk to in confidence, with any questions they may have.
"Brillantmont doesn’t just talk the talk on student wellbeing - it walks, skips and runs with it." (Good Schools Guide, June '25)
PSHE classes enable students to explore well-being, social, digital and health issues and these are enhanced by externally led workshops. We encourage the students to adopt healthy lifestyles, promote emotional and physical well-being.
In case of illness during the school day, our
School Nurse will take good care of the student and if needs be,
refer him / her to the school doctor or other medical professionals
to provide the highest level of care.
At other times, the boarding
team, closely supported by our Pastoral Care and Well-Being Coordinator, take care of the student and refer him / her to the School Nurse
or other professionals as necessary.
Brillantmont
is a school which welcomes students of all or no faiths. You may wish
to continue to practise your faith during your time at Brillantmont.
We can organise visits to your place of worship. Lausanne is a
multicultural city : most major faiths are represented, with many
services in languages other than French.
Safeguarding
We recognise that every child has the right to a secure environment and that every child should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally and socially in a healthy manner. We adhere to strict safeguarding policies and the Council of International Schools' code of conduct.
All Brillantmont staff have undertaken safeguarding certification courses and there is a clearly defined safeguarding policy. As a school located in Switzerland, we comply with Swiss Federal and Cantonal laws pertaining to child protection.
We have a responsibility to create an environment in which students can grow into confident, caring, compassionate adults.
