Lucky lads enjoying a weekend in Germany’s Theme Park. Lots of roller-coasters, good food, toys, souvenirs and great memories made with awesome friends!

The Concha Lads

Another succesful shopping trip, Kenneth and Alex bought some new football boots. The big question is who’s are cooler. So of course they came to their trusted House Parents to solve this dispute.

They’re tied with one vote each at the moment – Which boots do you like best?

What do you think? Who’s are cooler?

Grilled cheese has to be the number one choice when it come to a quick comfort food snack. These delicious treats were made with flare by our own Chef Alex. A bit of a mediterranean twist with these chorizo, jamon serrano and menchego cheese toasties.

Understandably, he didn’t save us a bite.

Yum!

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.

Calm Monday evenings are always capped off with Reading Club some of the books chosen are true classics, Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, Sam Gayton’s The Last Zoo and Francesca Simon’s Horrid Henry.

Please, we’re trying to read here!

On Friday afternoon, the boys packed their bags and headed to Leysin for Boarding Orientation Weekend. Everyone made it onto the bus—though a few moved at their own pace!

The weekend was filled with adventure. Some trekked down from the summit of Mt. Berneuse after a cable car ride, enjoying breathtaking views. Others learned survival skills, from building shelters to starting fires. Our Orienteering group mastered map and compass work, while the Rock Climbers showed courage scaling new heights. The Mountain Biking team pushed through steep climbs and sped down thrilling descents.

It was a weekend of challenge, discovery, and teamwork—an inspiring start to the year.

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!

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.
