First Assembly & Swiss International Dinner

Dear all,

Today, the CDB boys suited up in their blazers and attended their first Boarding Assembly of the year. Following that, we enjoyed our first International Dinner, featuring Switzerland. The boys paired their delicious meal with a fun and engaging quiz about Swiss culture—thoroughly enjoyed by all!

First Day Adventures!

Dear all,

After the hustle and bustle of the school day, the CDB boys still had plenty of energy to burn—and that’s always a great sign! It means they’re coming back from school energised and ready to enjoy the evening.

As we kicked off the first official week, we embraced the evening in true CDB style: a lively game of football, some mind-bending magic tricks courtesy of Mr Riccardo, and even a spontaneous “who can touch the ceiling” challenge (I just happened to walk by during this and was very confused!).

The night rounded off with an impromptu social gathering in the office, where all the boys came together to share stories, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company. A perfect start to the week – and to the year!

And So The Journey Begins!

Dear all,

This morning marked the official start of the school year!

It was an early rise for both new and returning students, but the boys embraced the day with a shared sense of excitement and anticipation for the journey ahead.

We wish them the very best as they begin this new chapter—with peace in their hearts, calm in their minds, hope in their spirits, and the gentle Autumn sun shining down to guide their way.

As the school year wraps up and the summer sun begins to shine a little brighter, we’ve officially closed the doors of the boarding house for the season. It’s been a fantastic year filled with growth, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Now, it’s time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the well-deserved break. We hope your summer is filled with joy and relaxation.

Last Weekend & End of Year Party!

Dear all,

This weekend marked our final one in the house for this year, and we made the most of it!
On Saturday, a few of the Juniors headed into Geneva for a bit of exploration and some (much-needed?) last-minute shopping.

Then on Sunday, the entire boarding community came together for the End of Year Party. The boys had an amazing time — a perfect way to wrap up the year on a high note!

Happy Birthday Chika! 🎈🍰

Dear all,

Today, we celebrated Chika’s 12th birthday in the most delightful way!

The day began with a lively pool party during school, setting the tone for a fun-filled celebration. At dinner, we gathered for a cheerful round of birthday singing. Just when Chika thought the surprises were over, he was caught completely off guard by an impromptu cake session at home—much to his shock and delight; good on his Big Brother Mana with the luring in! The day concluded with a cosy movie, complete with all his favourite snacks. A truly memorable birthday from start to finish!
