On Thursday it was Jeune Genevois, a public holiday here in Geneva. As there was no school some of the girls took the opportunity to visit Chamonix and Mer du Glace.

Here we see Manya, Ria and Helen enjoying the spectacular view!

Tonight we challenged the girls to move an Oreo from their forehead to their mouth, without using their hands. There were some great faces on show and Sophie came out as champion!

Over the last few days we have spent time getting to know all of our new boarders and taking part in fun activities to get to know each other. We wish you all a great year here at College du Leman!

We hope you all had a wonderful summer – the staff of New Portena are ready and eager to welcome you all back for the 2018-2019 academic year!

Your team this year is made up of House Parent Terri Davis, Deputy House Parent Rosana Busso, and House Tutors Jemma Stanton and Cristina Sanchez.

We look forward to seeing you all soon, if you have any questions before getting here please contact newportena@cdl.ch

This weekend Aya and Natalina put a new sporting skill to the test and tried out their golfing techniques!
