Before the Leaves Fall: Last Day in the House Before the Break! 🍂

Time flies, especially when all the experiences lived are full of joy!

We still remember the very first days when our Concha boys were gradually arriving. Some of them were more talkative, others barely spoke, were homesick or simply trying to get used to living in a completely different environment that was not the norm for them. However, time has passed by and a friendly international community has been formed in the Boarding House.

In order to make the most of this last day, the kids have tried to spend as much quality time together as possible: at lunch, in Olympus or in the house! We organised a house sleepover in the living room for their last memory before the Autumn Break to be unforgettable.

Come on Sam, time is running out! ⏳

Of course, Tim had to play basketball before leaving 🏀

Wish you all a restful breaks. We look forward to hearing your break stories once you are back in the house!

See you in two weeks, lads! 👋🏻

Friday Dinner Whilst Some Depart for TANZANIA 🇹🇿

As the break approaches and the school winds down, we find ourselves heading to one of Versoix’s finest establishments for some soul food—fried chicken and great conversations. It was the perfect send-off for our Conchsters.

Meanwhile, a few of our Concha residents have set off on an exciting journey to Tanzania for a week of adventure and service. We wish them safe travels and look forward to hearing their stories in just two short weeks.

Wednesday Before the Break

The fellas and I ventured out to explore some local trails on our newly restored mountain bikes after study hall today. We embraced the adventure, even if some of us ended up muddy—it’s all part of the fun!

Shunyu our resident basket-balling star balled out in CDL’s victory over Champittet today.

Sunday Activities

Sunday in Concha’s been a blast we got plenty of rest and relaxation with some great activities sprinkled on top!

Saturday Activities: Baking, Climbing and Running

It was an action-packed Saturday for our boys, filled with adventure and fun as the main events of the day. They also took the opportunity to catch up on some much-needed rest. Stay tuned for more exciting Concha activities tomorrow!

Topping Off the Week: How Pizza Makes Fridays Perfect

Friday nights at Concha were nothing short of Michelin-star-worthy. The boys rolled up their sleeves and rolled out the dough, ready to create their pizza masterpieces.
