Dear all,

While our Middle Schoolers were off on their cycling adventure around Lac Léman, life on campus was anything but quiet. With the summer breeze in the air, how could it be?

On Saturday, the boys of CDB and the girls of Terray rolled up their sleeves for some baking fun, followed by a shopping trip into Versoix. The day wrapped up perfectly with a cosy Movie Night. Sunday brought a splash of excitement—literally—as everyone headed to the Concha Swimming Pool for a refreshing and laughter-filled afternoon.

To cap off the weekend, we created a beautiful montage of memories from the past year. Soon to be displayed in our hallway, it’s a heartfelt tribute to the moments we’ve shared and the journey we’ve taken together.

Dear all,

This evening, the boys had the opportunity to attend CDL’s production of Seussical Jr., and they had an absolute blast! It was such a joy to see them so engaged and entertained. I’m always amazed by the incredible talent our students showcase—tonight was no exception. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this wonderful evening possible. It was truly a great experience!

Dear all,

What’s stood out recently is how wisely the boys have begun to use their time. With evenings often swept up by activities or unexpected changes, they’ve started making intentional choices during the day—especially during study hall—to stay on top of things and keep growing.

Rather than letting busy days be an excuse, they’re using their initiative to make the most of quiet moments, often turning to books once assignments are done. It’s not about having more time—it’s about using the time they do have well. Reading, for now, may still feel like a chore, but slowly they’ll be all grown up and look back with a smile, realising how special it was to have the freedom to read what they wanted, right at the moment when they were “meant” to be studying!

Dear all,

As summer nears, the House is buzzing with energy. This week, we celebrated International Week, with Friday and Saturday dedicated to vibrant International Day festivities. The campus came alive with global flavours, music, and colourful displays, showcasing the pride and diversity of our community.

On Sunday, the boys took a training ride around the lake in preparation for the upcoming “Tour du Lac Léman.” With great weather and even better company; and the usual weekend activites and our House Movie Night –  it was a weekend to remember.

A big thank you to the Parents’ Association for organising such a joyful and memorable event! All the boys here had a blast!

Dear all,

This evening we continued Wellbeing Pillar 5: Making Safe and Responsible Choices: Understanding Empathy

At the heart of making safe and responsible choices lies empathy — the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. This week, the session aimed to deepen students’ understanding of empathy as more than just a feeling, but as a powerful tool that helps build stronger relationships and communities. By truly stepping into someone else’s shoes, students learn to make choices that are kinder, safer, and more responsible.

Empathy is the first step toward creating a supportive environment where everyone feels seen and respected. It’s a skill worth practicing every day.

Thank you to Mr. Manu and Mrs. Sophie for their dedicated delivery of these lessons to the Junior Houses. The younger students, who need this guidance most during such a crucial stage of their lives, truly benefited from their efforts.

Dear all,

This evening we were priviliged to take a flavorful journey to Japan with a special Japan-themed International Dinner Night. The event let us experience the richness of Japanese cuisine and culture in a vibrant, festive setting. The atmosphere was lively and warm, with everyone sharing in the excitement and discovery.

The food was delicious and the themed evening a treat. So, it was a quick “itadakimasu” before the meal and a very quickl follow-up of “oishii!” to express just how tasty everything was.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the evening such a success. Arigatou gozaimashita! 🌸

Dear all,

The boys were treated to something extra special today — a delicious fusion of flavours that brought big smiles all around. We kicked things off with a beautiful Italian lasagna and salad prepared by the amzing cooking team in the Leman Cafeteria, paired perfectly with a rich touch of Raclette goodness, courtesy of our very own Mr. Andrés. To top it all off, we wrapped up with a well-deserved ice cream outing.

It’s important to savour the little joys in life whenever and wherever we can. And with the sun shining down on us today, we thought — why not? A perfect day for a shared meal, good company, and great vibes.
