Dear all,

One of the best parts of boarding life is watching our boys grow and become more independent. Little by little, they learn to manage their time, take care of their belongings, and make their own decisions.

Evening prep helps them stay organized, daily routines teach them responsibility, and small tasks like helping at cleaning and tidying up bring everyone together.

It’s amazing to see their progress throughout the year. Whether they are new to Boarding  Life or have been with us for years—like Donny, Jin, Kimi, Mana or Chika—they grow and change so much. They develop new skills, gain confidence, and become completely different people in the best possible way.

Dear all,

This weekend, we slowly got back into the swing of things at Champs des Bois. The boys started returning from the holidays one by one—on Friday, we had Donny, Ethan, and Kimi back in the house. On Saturday, Jin, Xingyu, Nuttakit, and Paul David joined, and today, Chika and Mana returned from their trip with their agent.

It’s been a calm weekend, and everyone has been sharing stories about how much fun they had during the break. Now, we’re all recharged and ready to jump back into the routine! 💪

Dear all,

Today, we had the pleasure of sharing Australian food. We enjoyed a meal featuring Australian lamb, sweet potatoes, and zucchini.

Did you know that Australia is home to some of the most unique wildlife on the planet? About 80% of its animals can’t be found anywhere else, including kangaroos, koalas, and the platypus. And when it comes to food, Australians love a good barbecue—grilling meat and veggies is a big part of their food culture, bringing people together for relaxed outdoor meals.

Dear all,

At the end of today’s House Meeting, we asked the boys to share something memorable about the past few months at Champs des Bois and school—whatever came to mind first. And let’s say the answers did not dissapoint.

Paul David gave us a heartwarming one, saying he’s really proud of the friendships he’s built in the house and how comfortable ❤️ he feels with everyone.

Jin, on the other hand, went straight to Friday night pizza talks. He loves coming to the office with the House Parents, grabbing a slice, and asking about “adult life” once you finish going to the school. 🍕

Xingyu kept it real—he’s just grateful for the occasional 🥤 Coca-Cola. Priorities.

And then there’s Chika, who made us all feel like we should’ve paid more attention in science class. He’s thankful for the chance to keep learning about science with us, even though sometimes we try (but don’t always succeed) in answering his endless 🔬 questions.

It’s been amazing to see what really matters to each of them, and we feel very proud of them for being able to express it.

Dear all,

We’re so proud to announce that Jin and Kimi brought home the gold 🥇 and silver 🥈 in the November Fitness Challenge! They were the top two students with the most challenge wins across all of Boarding. During last Wednesday’s Boarding Assembly, they received their well-deserved trophies and were also chosen to receive some new sports equipment!

But that’s not all—Mr. Sergio was the winner of the Staff category! The challenge was divided between Students and Staff, and we all showed everyone how it’s done!

Congratulations to Jin, Kimi, and Mr. Sergio!

Dear all,

Tonight is puzzle night! It’s the perfect way to relax and bond after a busy day. Let’s see how long it take us to complete the puzzle! 🧩

Dear all,

We’ve had such a great weekend! On Saturday, the kid stayed active with activities like tennis and running. Jin was (not) surprisingly fast 🏃‍♂️

During the afternoon, Xingyu, Chika and Donny went grocery shopping to ensure that the end of the school period before the break was full of snacks and tea’s!

But the highlight of the weekend came today! Many of the boys joined their friends to watch Inside Out, and they loved it.
