Dear all,

Tonight, we set sail on a culinary journey to Portugal! The cooking team treated us to Bread with chorizo, Shrimp rissoles, Cod squabs, Portuguese roast chicken with potatoes, and, of course, Pastel de Nata for dessert.

Did you know Portugal is home to the world’s oldest bookstore, Livraria Bertrand, which has been around since 1732? It’s also the birthplace of fado, soulful music perfect for eating just one more pastel (or two).

Muito bom!

Dear all,

What a weekend we’ve had!

On Saturday, we kicked things off with some amazing activities in the morning, followed by a very special celebration in the afternoon. It was Paul David’s birthday, and we marked the occasion with delicious cake and some wonderful guests who joined us at the house. Such a great day!

Sunday started off on a relaxed note, with the brunch to fuel up for the incoming adventure. We then visited the famous Cailler Chocolate Factory, where the kids got a fascinating lesson on the history of chocolate and its origins in Switzerland. Of course, the highlight was sampling the chocolate—and buying plenty more to take home to share with family and friends!

Dear all,

Tonight, we enjoyed the delicious flavors of the Philippines! The cooking team prepared Chicken Adobo, Tortang Talong, Kililaw Tanigue, and Bubble Tea for dessert.

Did you know the Philippines has 7,641 islands? It’s also home to the world’s smallest volcano, Taal Volcano, which sits on an island within a lake!

It was sarap!

Dear all,

And just like that, another weekend has whizzed by (far too quickly, some of the boys would say!)

They made the most of it, having had great fun at Balexert on Saturday, playing games in other houses, and partaking in some of their favourite weekend activities.

Now, it’s time to roll on to the new week

Dear all,

Today, the lads from Champs-des-Bois and the girls from Terray got the chance to go the Balexert shopping centre; for a trip to the cinema, have a bite to eat and have fun shopping to their heart’s content!

We went to see The Wild Robot, a beautiful animation, made all the better as everyone selected their favorite snacks and settled into cosy seats for the movie. Then it was a spot of lunch before chilling out and exploring Balexert.

This outing was more than just entertainment—it was an opportunity for students to bond, grow their independence, and create memories.

Dear all,

Tonight at Collège du Léman, we took a flavorful trip to Ghana! The dining hall was filled with the aromas of traditional Ghanaian dishes, and it was a feast to remember.

Our cooking team served up Beef stew, Plantains, Spicy prawns, and a tasty sauce, followed by Boflot with a choice of coulis for dessert.

It was ɛyɛ dɛ!

Dear all,

What a fantastic weekend we had here at Champs des Bois! We kicked things off on Saturday with tons of fun activities. The kids got to enjoy activities like badminton, horseback riding or tennis, keeping everyone active! In the afternoon, we took a stroll into Versoix, where we picked up some treats and essentials—snacks and a few fun items to make their rooms feel even more like home!

Sunday was a bit more relaxed, and we took full advantage of the morning to sleep in and recharge for the week ahead. Later, we set off for a beautiful two-hour hike through the Versoix forest. It was a perfect way to wrap up the weekend on a peaceful note!

To end the weekend, we spent the afternoon making sure the house was spotless and ready for the new week. All in all, it was a weekend full of fun, fresh air, and a bit of home care—a perfect balance!

Dear all,

Tonight at Champs des Bois we witnessed a showdown for the ages! It all started innocently—a tray of delicious burgers served up for dinner, as it was Dinner at Home evening! But as soon as the last burger came into view, tension filled the room… The boys looked at each other, and we all knew: “The burger is strong with this one.”

In seconds, lightsabers were drawn, and an epic Jedi battle began. With sound effects worthy of the galaxy far, far away, each one was determined to prove that “This is the way”—to claim the final, glorious burger. The dining hall rang with intensely, and Donny, after a memorable fight declared, “I am one with the burger, and the burger is with me!”

In the end, peace was restored and bellies were full. The Force was strong in Champs des Bois last night, and we’re already looking forward to the next adventure. May the burgers be with them!
