This weekend, Léman 1’s very own Shintaro spent the weekend with a group of Boarding students seeing the sights of the incredible Spanish city of Barcelona. This trip is the latest weekend trip of our exciting trips programme. Next stop: Greece and Cyprus during the Easter Holidays.

The weekend got off to a perfect start this morning. Not only is the sun shining bright, we had a host of incredible activities available to our students.

The Léman 1 boys chose cooking, tennis, badminton, running and horse riding.

Tonight one of our resident thespians, Baudelio performed a play named ‘Check Please!’ with his theatre class.

The atmosphere on the school campus today was vibrant, as we celebrated CDL day, a day where we aim to raise awareness about climate change. This special day also saw the return of the Grand Prix, an anuual running race on campus for all grades. Due to the global pandemic, the Grand Prix hasn’t been able to take place on campus for 2 years. Well done to all the Léman 1 boys, and all the Boarding students who took part in this incredible event today.

Today we celebrate Iranian New Year!

It marks the first day of spring or the equinox.

Wishing all of our students a happy and healthy year ahead!

On Saturday evening Karim went with a group from CDL to attend the Swiss Tech Convention which was showcasing the Legends of Space show.

The Crew, plus their Captain Mr. Antonio, our resident Space Buff.

They had the incredible opportunity to be around astronauts that have actually set foot on the moon – a rare and memorable moment.

This sunny morning Ablai woke up bright and early for a 5km run.

While he feels he could have pushed himself more, we’re impressed by his motivation!

A little sweet and a little savory, tonight both Leman 1 & Leman 2 got together and had a blast making some delicious crepes and raclette.

We enjoyed an evening full of laughs, music, and of course – cheese.

It begins!

Inter-house unity…or collective hunger?

Multitasking at it’s finest

Amirhossein and Zihao spent Saturday morning cooking up a storm.

Apparently, they made a red berry crumble. I say apparently because it was gone before anyone could take a picture of it!

Anticipatory smiles as they put their food puzzle together.

Congratulations to Iman for winning this weekends SGIS Badminton tournament in Lausanne!

His legs sure are tired though.
