Tonight, we celebrated L’Escalade, a cherished Geneva tradition! We brought out the famous marmite (the chocolate cauldron), and as tradition dictates, the oldest and youngest in the house joined forces to break it—symbolizing unity and victory.
Before the big moment, we enjoyed a video prepared by Adi and Louis, two of our boarding prefects, who explained the history behind the marmite and this special day. Paul David and Yuxuan also shared what they knew about the story, adding even more depth to the celebration.
Once the marmite was broken, we all indulged in delicious chocolate and wrapped up what was a meaningful and joyful evening. A great way to honor Geneva’s history and spend time together as a boarding family!
