As the sun lingers longer in the sky and a hint of warmth teases the breeze, we find ourselves at the threshold of a new season. It’s time to wave goodbye to the chill of winter and welcome the lively essence of spring with open arms. To our Olympus boys, we send our deepest wishes for an extraordinary and revitalizing spring break!

The recent months have been remarkable, brimming with memorable moments and impressive accomplishments. From thrilling weekends in the mountains to mesmerizing performances on stage, our boarding family has truly embodied the essence of adventure, creativity, and togetherness.

May you all have an incredible spring break!

On this weekend, with the holidays so close to us and the weather being nice our boarders found great amounts of energy to go around and have fun. Once again going to their favorite activities or going to try new ones the smiles never left their faces.

On Wednesday we had the next instalment of our House Competitions. Olympus performed in the talent show and did an acapella version of In the Jungle. We were very proud to have placed in 8th position.

Last weekend, I went on an exciting school trip to Paris. Our adventure started on Friday when we took a train. It was a fun ride with my classmates. We talked and looked out the windows. We arrived in Paris and were very excited. The city looked beautiful.

Our first stop was the Eiffel Tower. It’s a very famous and tall tower. We learned it’s one of the most famous places in Paris. We took lots of photos there. Then, we went on a boat trip on the Seine River. We saw many beautiful buildings and bridges. The boat ride was relaxing and fun. We waved at people walking by the river.

After the boat ride, we went up the Eiffel Tower. It was a bit scary but exciting to be so high. The view of Paris from up there was amazing. We could see the whole city. It looked like a postcard. After coming down, we walked around near the tower. We were hungry, so the teachers gave us money for food. We found a nice place to eat. I tried some French fries in Paris!

We walked on a famous street called Champs-Élysées. It was a long street with lots of shops and cafes. We went into some shops and looked at the things they sold. I bought a small Eiffel Tower keychain as a souvenir.

In the evening, we went to a restaurant for dinner. The food was delicious. I tried some new French dishes. I liked the dessert the best. Then, we went to our hotel. It was a big hotel with nice rooms. The beds were very comfortable. I shared a room with my best friend, and we talked late into the night.

The next morning, after breakfast at the hotel, we visited the Louvre Museum. It’s a huge museum with so many paintings and statues. We saw the Mona Lisa. It was smaller than I thought but still cool. We also saw a famous statue called Venus. It’s very old and missing its arms. Our teacher told us about the history of these artworks. I learned a lot about art and history.

After the museum, we had some free time. We walked around Paris, seeing the streets and buildings. It was nice to see the city life. Then, we went back to the train station. We bought some snacks for the trip back to Geneva. I got some chocolate and a sandwich.

This trip to Paris was very special. I had so much fun and learned a lot about French culture and history. I want to thank my school and the teachers for organizing this trip. It was an experience I will always remember. Paris is a beautiful city, and I hope to visit again one day.

Last weekend, the Olympus boarders of CDL embarked on an exhilarating adventure filled with camaraderie and sporting prowess. Amidst the set of weekend activities ranging from the intensity of Tennis, Handball and Boxing to the adrenaline rush of skiing with the Ski Club, and the serene yet challenging practice of Pilates, there was something for every enthusiast. However, the highlight undoubtedly was the Football 4 All charity tournament for Tanzania, where skills met compassion in a spirited display of sportsmanship.

This weekend our boarders once again engaged in their favorite activities as well as new ones they wanted to explore. Climbing, Cooking, Horse Riding, and an adventure to an escape room. Some lucky ones were even signed up for the trip to Paris where they had a wonderful time.

This weekend the boarding community also held a march in support of International Women’s Day which was on Friday the 8th of March.

In a whirlwind of excitement, the Olympus Boarders embarked on an unforgettable weekend at CDL, where exhilarating activities awaited their eager participation. From the high intensity of boxing to the skill of tennis, and the challenges of handball, climbing, and skiing, there was something to captivate every adventurous spirit. This weekend was also the opportunity for our Boarders to visit the Geneva International Motor Show, one of Europe’s most important car shows. As they embraced the thrill of each endeavour, the students forged unforgettable memories while having yet another entertaining weekend at CDL.
