Day 5 of Advent

Day 5 of Advent focuses on continuing the preparation for the coming of Christmas, both spiritually and in everyday life. Depending on how you observe Advent, here are a few ideas to mark this day meaningfully:

Acts of Kindness

  • Do something thoughtful for someone in need—drop off a card, offer to help with errands, or donate to a charity.
  • Write a message of encouragement or gratitude to someone who has been a blessing in your life.

Family or Personal Traditions

  • Light the Advent wreath or a candle to symbolise hope. If you’ve been using a daily Advent calendar, open today’s door or complete the activity.
  • Bake or prepare something special as part of the festive season, such as cookies or treats to share.

Creative Activity

  • Write a reflection about the things you are looking forward to this Christmas.
  • Engage in a craft or activity that brings joy, like decorating or making homemade ornaments.

Day 4 of Advent

In Advent there is usually a wreath made of pine branches with 4 candles, which are lighted one by one after each week of Advent. The Advent wreath symbolises the course of the four weeks of Advent. We are now in the first week and the first candle symbolises hope and marks the beginning of the Advent.

Day 2 of Advent

We celebrate Advent calendars as a way to joyfully and thoughtfully count down the days leading up to Christmas. The tradition stems from the Christian season of Advent, which is a time of preparation and anticipation for the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth.

Disneyland Paris Trip

Disneyland is more than just a theme park, it’s a place where magic comes to life! From the enchanting castles to thrilling rides and unforgettable parades, every corner invites you to step into a world of wonder. Whether you’re meeting your favourite characters, enjoying delicious treats, or reliving childhood memories, where adults become kids once again, Disneyland reminds us that the magic of imagination and adventure is always within reach.

The festive season is upon us!

Today is the first of December, marking the period of Advent leading up to Christmas Day. In order to prepare ourselves for the festive times ahead, we are observing the Advent period through our new Advent calendars. Every day, three of the boys will be opening a door on an Advent calendar and receiving a surprise, getting them in a good mindset for the upcoming days of fun and festivities!

Welcoming the Winter with an active weekend!

This weekend, despite the chilly weather and the approaching winter frosts, the Léman boys remained active and, as usual, enjoyed participating in a variety of activities, such as Basketball, Boxing and Tennis. Not only do these activities allow the boys to make the most of their weekends by adding variety, they also allow the Léman boys to spend time with friends from other boarding houses.
