Last night, the Léman boys attended the Annual Collège du Léman Winter Ball, dressing up in style to enjoy one of the landmark occasions of the boarding calendar at CDL. Delicious food was served and a great time was had by all! Our boys had fun posing for photos, throwing some shapes on the dance floor and catching up with dear friends from other boarding houses. It was a pleasure to see our boys enjoying themselves in such a beautiful environment with a delightful and special atmosphere!

Special thanks must go to Mr Brinkmeyer for organising this special event, as well as the other members of boarding management who assisted and facilitated in the planning procedures.

As part of the new Excellence Week initiative at Collège du Léman, we would like to give special recognition to Adam, Emad and Apollo for their efforts and achievements both within and outside the school framework.

As well as obtaining some excellent academic achievements, Adam and Apollo have both represented the Genève-Servette under-17 hockey team at matches and tournaments, demonstrating considerable sportsmanship and teamwork. They have both set excellent examples for the other boys in Léman – Congratulations, gents!

Special recognition must also go to Emad, who has demonstrated considerable entrepreneurial and innovative spirit through his attendance at a start-up conference, presenting his company and the app that they are producing – Bravo!

Yesterday, Michael and Liusen had the honour of representing Collège du Léman at a national fencing tournament held here in Geneva. The boys both did amazingly, and were able to represent our boarding house in their boarding achievements. Bravo, gents!

Yesterday I participated with Michael in the national fencing competition that was held in CDL. We met people at different ages, at different levels and from different clubs, for example Martigny and EPFL. For me it felt more like friends having fun together rather than a serious competition. I did quite well in the group stage and lost to Michael in the elimination stage. Although I was sad but at the same time I am very happy for Michael and I know that is also a motivation for me to learn and get better next time. I really enjoyed the tournament in general and I hope I can do better in them next year. – Liusen

The Léman House would like to wish Nikita a very Happy Birthday! We hope you enjoyed your day!

Following the Winter Ball yesterday, our boys were in high spirits as they opened their doors on the Advent calendars today! We hope to continue to develop this new tradition within the boarding house to continue to bring excitement (and chocolate) to the boys in the weeks leading up to the Winter Break.
