May Fitness Challenge ๐Ÿ’ช

Dear all,

As exam season is coming, we want to make sure our students stay active and are taking breaks from time to time. For this, Mr. Rob and Mr. Rodrigo have created the May Fitness Challenge, where every day there is a different challenge you can complete. Boarders and House Parents from all houses have been participating since the beginning of the month, challenging themselves to improve every day.

We can proudly say Defne I. won Friday’s challenge as she managed to do 23.881 steps in a single day ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ. Congrats Defne!

Lots of love,

Terri, Sarah, Maria, Ioanna and Fana.

Trip to Lyon ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

Dear all,

This weekend, some girls had the chance to go on a day trip to Lyon, a city in the south-east of France. Lyon is well-known for being at the junction of the rivers Rhรดne and Saรดne, its Roman history, and its beautiful architecture.

The girls had an amazing time traveling to Lyon by train, exploring the city, and doing some shopping.

Lots of love,

Terri, Sarah, Maria, Ioanna and Fana.

Wellbeing pillar – Online Safety๐Ÿ“ฒ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป

Dear all,

The Wellbeing Pillar 4: Scams, Security, and Identity Theft has come to an end. Our girls have learned multiple things about online safety and the importance of staying safe in the digital world.

It is extremely important to make sure we are safeguarding our personal information, our identity, and our digital devices. We must be mindful of who we interact with on social media, the sites we visit, and the information we share.

For this, our girls created this TikTok to share with everyone some tips on how to stay safe.

Best,

Terri, Sarah, Maria and Ioanna

A loving home ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ’–

New Portena is a place where our girls can develop their creativity to the maximum and decide what they want their future to be like. It is home to 28 women, but has been home to thousands more. We are proud of each one of them and the people they are becoming.

Thank you for creating a home in which to share experiences, a home full of laughter, emotions, and good times.

New Portena is home, today and always.


Best,

Terri, Sarah, Maria and Ioanna.

Weekend recap๐Ÿธ

Dear all,

After a lovely, sunny, and warm week, the weekend started with lots of rain and cold, but this weather didn’t stop our girls from enjoining their free time and attend their weekend activities. The girls attended plenty of activities such as Badminton, Ski Club, Bodyshaping, Chess Club or Stretching and Relaxation.

Despite Saturday’s afternoon rain, our girls went to Geneva to do some shopping, have lunch or enjoy the views. Just one more weekend before the Easter break ๐Ÿฅณ



Best,

Terri, Sarah, Maria and Ioanna.

Saturdayโ€™s pancake night ๐Ÿฅž๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿณ

Saturday night can be very quiet in New Portena. Some of the girls may be studying, watching TV or walking around campus with their friends.

One of the girls favourites activities is pancake night! They always ask Miss Sarah for pancakes (the best one weโ€™ve ever tried, to be honest) and we spend a really good time chatting and enjoying each other’s company.

Have a lovely Sunday,

Terri, Sarah, Maria and Ioanna.
