Dear all,

Today, Mana was chosen to participate in the Gymnastics Gala in the Grade 6 category. Despite being nervous, he gave it his all and did a fantastic job. If you ever need a lad to do some cartwheeling, we now know who to call! Well done Mana! 🤸‍♂️

Dear all,

What an action-packed day it’s been! We all attended the Grade 6 Concert in Eiger, proudly cheering on our very own Mana, Paul-David, and Ethan. The boys did a fantastic job, and it was truly a wonderful show. A huge thank you to all the music teachers for making it happen!

But the music didn’t stop there! Ms. Monica and Ms. Madina organised a fantastic Karaoke Night this evening (the inaugural event for the new Fun Night initiative that will be on offer every Tuesday during Soical Hour), and we all had an absolute blast. With a few rare exceptions, I’m not sure we hit a single correct note—but that certainly didn’t stop us from having fun!

Meanwhile, others in the house took to the pitch for the Staff vs. Terray/CDB friendly football match—an exciting game that made the junior houses proud!

Happy 13th Birthday Ethan, we hope you have a fantastic year. Congratulations on this milestone!

Dear all,

This weekend brought a fantastic mix of excitement, competition, and well-earned relaxation. One of the biggest highlights was the boys’ final Ski Day, where they took to the slopes with enthusiasm. Whether they were perfecting their turns, trying out new techniques, or simply soaking in the crisp mountain air, it was a wonderful way to wrap up a great season on the snow.

Beyond skiing, the boys have been fully engaged in their favorite activities, with Cooking and Tennis, proving as popular as ever. From friendly matches on the court to creative moments in the kitchen, it’s been great to see everyone making the most of their time.

Evenings have been a chance to wind down and enjoy some group time. We squeezed in a movie night, offering the perfect excuse to relax after an active day. And with the Six Nations in full swing, rugby fans (mainly just Mr. Ronan!) were glued to the action, enjoying some thrilling matches.

To cap off the weekend, when our skiers had returned; we all gathered around to celebrate Ethan’s birthday. Happy birthday Ethan!!

Dear all,

Tonight, we took a delicious trip to Colombia with a vibrant and flavorful feast! The menu featured Pollo Asado, perfectly grilled and seasoned to perfection, served alongside arepas with fresh cheese—a staple in Colombian cuisine. We also enjoyed crispy empanadas, packed with delicious fillings, and sweet milk jam pancakes, a delightful twist on a classic treat. To complete the meal, we had Colombian corn, adding a touch of tradition to the table.

¡Viva Colombia!

Dear all,

And just like that, another weekend has flown by at Champs-des-Bois, leaving behind a trail of laughter, adventure, and well-deserved relaxation. The boys enjoyed the perfect balance of activities, from playing an epic game of hide and seek in Olympus to unwinding during cosy movie nights in the boarding house.

Saturday brought the excitement of a trip to Geneva, where the boys explored the city’s charm.. Closer to home, the local ice rink in Versoix became a hub of joy as they spent hours skating, sharing laughs, and showing off their best (and sometimes wobbly!) moves. Whether exploring or enjoying simple moments together, the weekend was yet another reminder of the fun and camaraderie that defines life at Champs-des-Bois.

Dear all,

What an exciting weekend it has been! The Champs-des-Bois boys set off Friday afternoon after school, ready to embrace the snowy mountain wonderland of Crans-Montana. Over the next two days, they enjoyed a whirlwind of activities, including skiing on pristine slopes, sledding with laughter, and ice skating on the glistening rink. Whether tackling the challenges of the slopes or sharing laughter during tumbles on the ice, the boys embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm and energy.

Evenings brought their own charm. On Saturday night, an exploration of the town went underway, followed by a lively game of Bingo, which fostered plenty of joy. Every moment, from speeding downhill to simply admiring the breathtaking alpine scenery, was filled with excitement and awe.

This wonderful weekend wouldn’t have been possible without the Camps Department, whose thoughtful planning made the trip a resounding success. As the boys returned to Versoix on Sunday evening, they were tired yet deeply gratified – full of appreciation for an action packed adventure and some unforgettable memories.
