This past weekend, the Grade 9s and 10s of New Portena embarked on an exhilarating journey to Leysin, where sunny skies set the stage for a winter wonderland adventure. They tried skiing, snowboarding, and even ice skating. To chill out, some of the girls relaxed in the thermal baths. It was a weekend full of snowy adventures and big smiles! πβοΈ #SkiFun #NewPortenaSnowTrip

Most of the girls are back and New Portena House has come to life again:
the corridors echo with laughters and the common rooms fill with stories from many experiences. It is like all the missing puzzle pieces are going to be back in place. The whole New Portena House puzzle will be finally complete next week when all the girls will be back.
Welcome back! We are so happy to have you here again π₯°π
