Over the last few weeks, our boarders have played badminton among them through a tournament. We saw their different skills and how well some of them play. It has been really nice to hear from our boys how it was going. Many of our boys take part in it and we are proud of their scores and we are also proud of Otabek, who wins the tournament. Congratulations to all the players! Well done!
We are coming to the end of the school year, the 12th graders are preparing for their graduation and the rest are preparing for their final exams. But in the meantime, we are also enjoying the good weather, the lake and the activities that boarding offers. This weekend our boys have been wakeboarding in the lake, climbing in the climbing wall, playing volleyball and tennis in the sports hall, boxing in Versoix, Golf and Pilates.
This Thursday, one of our boys graduated with felicitations from the jury in his musical studies – piano at the Conservatoire de Musique de Geneve. He played five pieces by well-known musicians such as J.S. Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and others. Seeing our boy in this recital where he demonstrated his great musical abilities was a pleasure and pride.
The annual May Fitness Challenge is back!!
This time of year can be stressful for students as they prepare for exams. This gives them the opportunity to spend their free time in a positive way, that will also help them destress from any pressures they may be feeling.
Today we held a 5km run on campus for the Boarding students. A massive well done to everyone who took part!!
Today I am here to tell you about my experience during the weekend to Venice, which I thought was one of the best cities I have ever known in my life. This great adventure began early Thursday when we left school and took our first flight to Zurich, then to our destination Venice in Italy at two in the afternoon. We first went to the hotel to leave our suitcases and then took a bus that would take us to the centre of Venice where we had a few hours of free time to explore the local culture and cuisines. With my friends we went for a walk around the centre of Venice and took amazing pictures and saw beautiful buildings. We got into the typical Venice taxis, which are small boats that took you to different parts of the city. We took another walk, ate a pizza and then the whole group got together and went to have dinner at a restaurant with typical Italian food. That was all for the first day and we were exhausted.
Something that made the trip better was my friend Apollo, who has been my friend the whole year and the best roommate and helped me enjoy the trip even more. On Friday we woke up early and a guide took us for a tour around the city and explained a little about its incredible and interesting history. I then decided together with my friends to eat another delicious ice cream to cool off from the heat. We then had Lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe which was very very good. We decided to explore the shops a little more and I bought a sweatshirt and a McLaren t-shirt since I really like cars and it’s better to have a memory like that from when I went to Venice to remember later. At the end of the day, we went back to the hotel to rest and have dinner since it had been a great but tiring day and we had to recharge energies for the next day. On Saturday morning we went to the glass and crystal factory which was very interesting and different. We then continued our tour of Venice taking loads of photos and seeing the sights. This great experience and adventure came to an end and on Sunday we left Venice to return back home to CDL.
Our boys have already started to enjoy the good weather, the lake and the sun this weekend. Although the older ones have their end-of-year exams, they have all been able to enjoy and take a break with activities such as tennis, banana boating, wakeboarding, climbing, volleyball, pilates, etc. In addition, it was a long weekend, so some of them could also enjoy the trip to Annecy, where they enjoyed a cruise on the lake and some ice cream to beat the heat.
