Spring break

As the days grow longer and the air fills with the sweet promise of warmer weather, it’s time for us to bid adieu to the winter season and embrace the vibrant spirit of spring. To all our cherished boarding students, we extend our heartfelt wishes for a sensational and rejuvenating spring break ahead!

The past few months have been nothing short of extraordinary, filled with unforgettable memories and remarkable achievements. From exhilarating mountain weekends to captivating drama performances, our boarding community has truly embraced the spirit of adventure, creativity, and camaraderie.

 

We wish you all a wonderful spring break!

CDL Boarding Theatre Production

This evening on campus we held the first Boarding Theatre Production. It was pleasure to see all the incredible performances from the entire cast, which included three of our very own Léman boys. Congratulations to everyone who was involved, and thank you for providing us with an evening of quality entertainment.

Last weekend with activities before the spring break

This weekend, despite the uncertain weather, we were able to enjoy a spring weekend full of activities.

As usual, we had tennis, climbing, running club, chess club, eSports club and cooking. This weekend, it was time to make cupcakes. We again had the opportunity to practice our baskets in Basketball and as a new addition, we had boxing, which the kids really enjoyed.

This weekend was the last weekend of the ski club, our boys are sad, but they thoroughly enjoyed it and made new memories with their friends in Verbier.

As a special activity, some of them went to the spa to relax at the end of the semester, which was as relaxing and enjoyable as it should be.

It was also time to rehearse and put the finishing touches in the drama club for Tuesday’s premiere performance at Boarding!

 

Musical composition – Mykhail’s hidden talent

Mykhail continues to love producing Music, especially electronic compositions in a Rock/Metal style. He says that while he is exploring and creating Musical ideas, it helps him disconnect from daily study routines and also to be more in contact with friends back home in Ukraine where they exchange ideas and musical tips with one another. This is a very personal hobby and he generally composes for himself but we have encouraged Mykhail to share more of his work and even produce an album to showcase within Boarding.

For now, one of his recent compositions that you can listen below:

 

We look forward to that album Mykhail !!

Planespotting – a Hobby that turned into a Passion

Since Stefan came to Switzerland he has not stopped pursuing his passions, one of them being Photography. Besides having weekly classes where he has the opportunity to deepen the lens on the physical and digital operation of film, he also really enjoys planespotting during his free time, spending afternoons in the airport admiring these jets.

This was the case for yesterday as Stefan woke up very early and left for Zurich where he spent the day waiting for his favourite planes. From the hundreds of captures he got he was happy with these two shots showcased below. It is inspiring to hear his descriptions about the challenges he faces to find the right moment, angle and plane for a shot …

Ramadan Mubarak

As the journey begins tonight we have prepared a festive breakfast for our Leman boys. We offer our support and care in the following month along their path.

Wishes of a Blessed Ramadan to all.

Another amazing weekend in Leman

This weekend has been another full weekend of activities, clubs and fun. Our boys have been able to play tennis, cook with the chef, climb the indoor climbing wall, participate in the running club, and even practice a bit of basketball. On Sunday, we again had the opportunity to enjoy the snow in Verbier with the ski club, where they had a great time. As usual, they participated in the eSports club where they play Fortnite and Fifa, practicing against each other in tournaments, and in the Chess Club where they continued to improve their strategies. As a special activity they have made an escape room, some have been fast enough and others have been at the gates of finishing it and escaping.

International Women’s Day March

This Friday was 8 March, International Women’s Day. This weekend, a march was organized to support the feminist movement. We all marched through the streets of Versoix wearing purple t-shirts to remember the work that has been done so far and what still needs to be done.

Geneva Motor Show

This weekend, our students had the fantastic opportunity to visit the annual Geneva Motor Show. The spectacle was as impressive as ever with many incredible cars on display. The Léman boys who attended the outing, said they enjoyed it very much.
