What does role model mean for you?

This term we welcomed 2 new students to our home. Zenia from Ukraine and Elisa from Mexico. Welcome to our family!

We are looking forward to seeing you all very soon! We hope you enjoyed your holidays and are rested to start this busy and fun term.

We missed you.

Have a great day!

Love, New Portena

Enjoy the break. Happy New Year 2021.

Thanks to our lovely house parents and assistants for this delicious and healthy dinner ! Salad ,  pizza,  chicken, salmon, cheese – and of course cake 🙂

In order to celebrate the end of the year before the vacation, we enjoyed a nice and bright winter dinner in school. The cafeteria was transformed for the occasion and it was absolutely stunning!! Everyone made an effort to be well dressed and prepared.

We all had a good moment while keeping our usual precautions, as we were sitting by house, what we’re doing for a while already.

ONE, TWO THREE – masks off!

Tonight we had the great honor to give medals to the winners of the award ceremony. We were rewarding the students for their participation in the boarding life, their participation in activities, and for their good academic results.

Unfortunately, we were missing some girls (Alison, Cherry, Yvonne) but we keep their medals and we will give them to them on their return.

Congratulations to Sabine and Bianka for the boarding life award and Ghida for her best academics achievement for GR11 / IB1!

And then we ate the “chocolate marmite” broken according to the Swiss tradition!

It represents a battle between French and Swiss people where the Swiss citizens defended themselves by throwing boiling soup onto the invaders.

Well done!!!

Ghida and Sabine made a GINGERBREAD HOUSE.

Sunday, fun day in New Portena!
