Today we had the luck of celebrating Alex’s 14th birthday!

Wishing him well, first thing in the morning!

The boys surprising him with cake and a super high pitch scream from Artem!

We are back!

We hope you have had a restful break!

This harvest season, please ensure

You get some sleep, and plenty more

As there is nothing better than lots of rest

To hit the ground running feeling our best

See you in two weeks!

This afternoon, our lads joined me for a walk around Versoix to help pick up some litter.

It’s a good way to give back and support the town that we call home!

This afternoon Ege, Efe, Federico and Kenneth joined the CDL colour run, where after each lap of Concha, they had some colors splashed on white tshirts, resulting in a beautiful amalgam of colours coming together!

Efe loving life, feeling amaizing!

Fede, one hand in pocket, strolling along

To celebrate Respect week here at CDL, this evening our Concha boys sat down and wrote down the three words that first come to mind when they think of the word Respect.

This afternoon, our boys competed against all the other Boarding houses in the first event of our Annual House Competition!

It was lovely to see all of them outside, enjoying the sun and having fun!

This Saturday morning, Fanbo, Artem and Roman braved the inclement weather and ventured out onto the lake!

The cold water was a refreshing way to start the day.

Here’s a little snapshot of how this last week has been.

With all the smiles, meals and quality time spent together, there’s also been some unmade beds, some forgetfulness and some general silliness, but that’s all a part of the process.

Our New Arrivals!

Refueling together after a busy day

Couldn’t resist getting a first day of school shot of Joe and Joao, despite them being in Léman now

A bright and lovely Sunday to finish the week

Today, our Middle School lads plus Efe and Ege departed on a voyage across the lake to visit the picturesque town of Yvoire, in France.
