As the last weekend before the October break, the girls at Portena made the most of their time together! They enjoyed a variety of activities, including horse riding 🏇, cooking🥣, and golf🏌️♀️and so much more. Despite the excitement, they also managed to squeeze in study sessions to prepare for their upcoming exams. It was a weekend full of fun and productivity, perfectly balancing leisure with academics.
Now, they’re ready to tackle their exams and look forward to a well-deserved break!
Tonight’s house meeting in Portena was both productive and entertaining! It’s always great to gather and ensure we’re all on the same page, but this time we added a fun twist with a Kahoot quiz to reinforce our house rules.
For those who may not be familiar, Kahoot is an interactive game that tests knowledge in a fun, engaging way. Everyone eagerly grabbed their phones, and the competitive spirit kicked in! The questions ranged from the essentials like quiet hours and kitchen cleanliness, to others like the values of the school.
As the meeting wrapped up, the delicious aroma of freshly baked pizza filled the common area. We had a variety of toppings to cater to everyone’s tastes, from classic pepperoni and cheese to veggie and even a few adventurous options. The spread looked inviting, and the excitement was palpable as everyone lined up to grab their slices.

Last Friday, our boarding school was filled with excitement and energy as we hosted our Color Run! Students and staff came together for an unforgettable day filled with laughter, teamwork, and, of course, an explosion of colors.
The Color Run wasn’t just about getting messy; it was a celebration of health, unity, and school spirit. Events like this remind us of the importance of staying active while also having fun.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped organize the event! Until next time, keep running, keep smiling, and keep spreading the color!
Happy birthday Sophia!
Last Wednesday, Portena girls reunited to celebrate Sophia’s birthday. Her friends shared a delicious cheesecake and spent a nice time enjoying each other’s company. It was a simple yet meaningful gathering that emphasized the strong friendships they have built during their time together.
The weekly house meeting is a great opportunity for students and house parents to come together and discuss important matters. Today we started the meeting deciding those who are going to be our house captains.
House captains in a boarding school play a vital leadership role within their respective houses. Typically chosen for their strong character and commitment to their peers, they act as a bridge between students and house staff.
I’m happy to announce that in Portena house, Kate Stepanova and Darina Saveva are the chosen ones. Please see the pictures below.
Best,
Portena team.
I wanted to share with you how amazing Marifer’s birthday was. This special student was glowing all day, surrounded by friends who shared the moment with so much love. The most magical moment was, without a doubt, when she blew out the candles on the cake. She looked so happy and focused as she made her wish; I’m sure it was a very meaningful moment for her.
It was a pleasure to celebrate together. Please see some pictures below.
This weekend, the girls at Portena enjoyed a well-deserved break from their busy week of studies by engaging in a variety of fun and refreshing activities. From cooking up delicious meals together to playing badminton, participating in the running club, they stayed active while having a great time.
These activities are not just about having fun—they offer the perfect way to unwind and clear their minds after a week of hard work. Now, with their energy renewed and spirits high, they’re ready to tackle the upcoming week with recharged batteries! 💪🏻🔋
Last Tuesday, we had the school’s welcome barbecue, and it was an amazing day. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was super festive. Parents, teachers, and students were all mingling, sharing laughs and conversations.
The kids had a blast running around the yard and making new friends. Meanwhile, the adults caught up, chatting about the start of the school year, classes, and future plans. It was the perfect opportunity to get to know the new families, and for the teachers, it was a special occasion to interact with parents in a more relaxed setting.
There was no shortage of music, and by the end of the afternoon, some even felt like dancing a bit. As we said our goodbyes, it was clear that this barbecue had not only filled us with good food but also with great memories.
We’re already looking forward to the next one!
