Quiet Sunday Evening Walk 🚶‍♂️

Posted by victortorres

The weekend has been feeling a bit long, that is the reason why Mr Tarun had the wonderful idea of taking some of the kids out for an evening walk. As he grew up in the area, he showed us great places around Versoix woods which are easy to access from the town itself. There are quite a few great spots for pictures, quiet plans or morning runs. We could get to see the sunset, disconnect a bit and have nice chats altogether. 🤩

Look at this crew!

The sun started going down…

Guess who asked for a selfie… 🤳🏻

What was going on here that everyone was so smiley? 🤔

Tennis Fever 🎾

Posted by victortorres

Over the weekend, João, Henrique and Eduardo gave tennis a try after some time without playing this sport. It turns out they had a blast and are looking forward to joining this weekend activity again soon!

Come on, hit it Edu!

It’s yours, João!

Get it, Henrique!

Another Week, Another Reading Club Monday 📖

Posted by victortorres

As every Monday, our Middle Schoolers gathered with us in the living room to read some pages of their current literary obsessions. They also have to write their progress in their reading diaries, as well as those words they do not know. Among these, yesterday we could find divergence, zeal or hacienda. Every week they learn some new words that leave us speechless!

Martin, Zhengtai and Jiarui are hooked on their books

They must be reading something interesting… 🤔

Got ya, Firdavs!

He saw me coming with the camera and his face instantly changed…

There Is Always Something Going On! 🙌🏻

The Concha Boys had a busy long weekend. There was more time than usual, as they could enjoy of some days off due to Ascension Day, which took place right before the weekend arrived. Once they were done with their homework, they joined some weekend boarding activities – including cycling, wakeboarding and golf – as well as went to Geneva to spend some quality time together, eating at their favourite restaurants and do some shopping.

All in all a productive long weekend!

Since the grand final was announced, the Concha boys knew they had to do something together. The kids have been organising this for a couple days and it went very well! They gathered in the living room and brought some snacks and drinks, including Mexican burritos and Spanish omelette, which they prepared with the help of Mr Manu.

It was an exciting match and even if some of them were not particularly happy with the result, the truth is they enjoyed it anyway, as they were together creating more boarding life moments.

We can feel the tension and uncertainty!

A Perfect Sunny Friday In The Concha Garden ☀️🏡

Posted by victortorres

June is almost here and that means good weather is coming up!

The Concha pool is finally open, so the kids took advantage of this opportunity to have a swim with their friends and sunbathe while listening to their favourite songs and chatting. They also got some snacks to make this ideal plan even better. But not only did they go to the swimming pool, other kids decided to stick to sports after studying, or simply enjoy the breeze and good temperature outside while having an iced tea. These kids know how to have fun!

Not exactly the Concha garden but it is always good to give some highlights about these three and their friendly basketball matches 🏀

After a hectic swimming pool afternoon, they are ready to have a nice dinner in Versoix! 🍽️

生日快乐 Matthew

Posted by mjsancheza

It was a strange day in a strange week—Tuesday, though it felt like a Thursday. With half the house away on a short outing, the remaining students gathered to celebrate Matthew’s birthday, singing to him and sharing their best wishes. As a special treat, Matthew also had the chance to go to Geneva with Vincent to enjoy a meal.

Happy birthday Matthew!
