¡De antigua alumna a madre de CEM! ❤️
La semana pasada recibimos a Noelia Lombardo en nuestra clase de Atención Educativa de 1.º de Bachillerato.
Ingeniera biomédica por la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, donde recibió el Premio de Excelencia Alumni, y MBA por Harvard Business School, Noelia cuenta con una trayectoria profesional internacional en el mundo de la consultoría.
Pero, más allá de los títulos y los destinos, nos dejó reflexiones muy valiosas sobre cómo descubrir aquello que nos apasiona, ajustar nuestras expectativas, afrontar los cambios y construir nuestro propio camino sin miedo a explorar nuevas oportunidades.
Escuchar experiencias reales y conocer trayectorias diferentes también es una forma de aprender.
¡Gracias, Noelia, por volver a CEM y compartir tu experiencia con nosotros!

From CEM alumna to CEM mum! ❤️
Last week, we welcomed Noelia Lombardo to our Educational Guidance class with Year 12 students.
A Biomedical Engineer graduate from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, where she received the Alumni Excellence Award, and an MBA graduate from Harvard Business School, Noelia has built an international career in management consulting.
But beyond the qualifications and international experience, she shared some valuable insights with our students on how to discover what truly inspires them, manage their expectations, embrace change and find their own path without being afraid to explore new opportunities.
Listening to real-life experiences and discovering different journeys is also a way of learning.
Thank you, Noelia, for coming back to CEM and sharing your experience with us!

Segundas oportunidades, nuevas historias.
Nuestro Departamento de MFL ha adquirido una colección de libros de segunda mano de Oxford Reading Tree a través de la Asociación Animalista Eleos, una asociación dedicada a la protección y el bienestar de los animales.
Los libros, pensados para trabajar phonics y spelling en inglés, ya han llegado a las aulas y nuestros alumnos de Primaria han empezado a disfrutarlos. Próximamente, pasarán a formar parte de nuestra biblioteca para que puedan seguir acompañando a nuevos lectores.
Pero esta iniciativa va más allá de los libros. Con esta compra, también contribuimos a la labor que @AsociacionEleos realiza cada día en defensa de los animales que necesitan ayuda.
Nos encanta encontrar formas sencillas de conectar aprendizaje, reutilización y compromiso con nuestro entorno. Porque dar una segunda vida a un libro también puede ayudar a dar nuevas oportunidades a otros.
Gracias, Eleos, por la importante labor que realizáis.

Second chances, new stories.
Our MFL Department has acquired a collection of second-hand Oxford Reading Tree books through Eleos, an organisation dedicated to animal protection and welfare.
The books, designed to support phonics and spelling in English, have already arrived in our classrooms, and our Primary students have started enjoying them. They will soon become part of our library, where they can continue accompanying new readers.
But this initiative goes beyond books. By purchasing them, we are also supporting the work Eleos carries out every day to help animals in need.
We love finding simple ways to connect learning, reuse and our commitment to the world around us. Because giving a book a second life can also help give others a new opportunity.
Thank you, Eleos, for the important work you do.
