Tonight we gathered around to celebrate Nikita’s 18th Birthday. Our House Captain was able to share a delicious chocolate cake with his friends and our boarders shared a wonderful moment together to catch up and enjoy. Happy Birthday Nikita!

The 2025 Winter Ball was a truly memorable celebration for our boarding community, bringing everyone together for an evening of elegance, joy, and shared pride. The Louis Degallier boys looked exceptionally smart in their finest outfits, setting the tone for a beautiful night of togetherness and celebration. The evening began with a delicious three-course meal enjoyed in great company, followed by thoughtful and inspiring speeches from the Head Boy and Head Girl. The night concluded on a high note with a lively disco, filling the room with music and dancing, and leaving everyone with lasting memories.

Tonight, LDG 60 gathered for one of Geneva’s most iconic traditions: the breaking of the chocolate marmite for L’Escalade — a moment our house looks forward to every year.

In true Escalade spirit, the youngest and oldest students joined forces to carry out the tradition. This time, Mario and Hoodad stepped up for LDG 60, bringing energy, teamwork, and a lot of anticipation to the moment.

As everyone crowded around, the room buzzed with laughter and excitement. Then came the famous words:
“Ainsi périrent les ennemis de la République!”
With a swift strike, the marmite burst open — and chocolate scattered to the delight of the whole house.

At tonight’s House Meeting, our boarders gathered to go over key reminders and important information for the fast-approaching end of term, ensuring everyone is prepared for the busy days ahead. After the announcements, the mood shifted to laughter and excitement as students took part in a lively game of Mimes. In the end, Mario, Emir, and Hoodad claimed victory.

Tonight, the Louis Degallier Boarders enjoyed a warm and flavourful dinner together, sharing the Indonesian speciality Nasi Goreng. The fragrant fried rice brought a lively burst of colour and aroma to the table, creating a relaxed atmosphere. It was a simple yet memorable evening that highlighted the joy of gathering, sharing food, and experiencing a bit of international culture right at home.

Despite the grey skies and soggy weather, the weekend at Louis Dégalier 60 was filled with warmth, energy, and a few memorable surprises.

One of the highlights was welcoming back Artem, a Dégalier graduate who stopped by to visit. His return brought smiles and a sense of continuity to the boarding house, and it was wonderful for the students to reconnect with a familiar face.

Inside the house, the atmosphere was both productive and relaxed. Many students made excellent progress on their schoolwork, using the quieter weekend hours to focus and catch up. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper weekend without a touch of creativity, so everyone enjoyed decorating gingerbread—adding a festive and fun moment to balance the study time.

Bad weather or not, it was a weekend filled with community, effort, and a bit of sweet seasonal spirit at Louis Dégalier 60.

Following the tradition, our Boarders joined the 47th Edition of the Course de l’Escalade.

Under a non-stop rain, among many students, our Anvar achieved the best performance in the Boarding community, by relentlessly running amid the conditions. His efforts during the Saturday’s running club have paid off. Well done Anvar, we are proud of you!

The Louis Degallier Boarders enjoyed a warm and festive evening as they gathered for the Monthly Boarding Assembly and Awards celebration, where Emir and Mykhail proudly shined with their well-deserved medals for Boarding Activities and Boarding Life. Following the ceremony, the group returned to the house to bring Christmas spirit to life as they decorated together. Hoodad and Mario stood out as enthusiastic leaders as they put up the Christmas tree and decorated it.

Let’s start a new week with a fresh and delicious variety of fruit and some winter decorations.

More to come soon…stay tuned.

The Louis Degallier Boarders enjoyed an entertaining and activity-packed weekend, filled with friendly competition and plenty of laughter. Students tested their precision in a lively series of Cornhole matches, cheering one another on as they practised their aim. For those craving a mental challenge, a set of intense and strategic chess games kept minds sharp and spirits high. To round it all off, others headed outside for energetic tennis matches, enjoying the fresh air and a chance to stretch their legs. It was a weekend that perfectly blended fun, focus, and community spirit.
