We also had two special birthdays to celebrate! A big congratulations to Mana, who is stepping into teenage life and leaving childhood behind, and to the amazing Mr. Riccardo, whose dedication and positivity make such a difference every day. With cake, cheers, and heartfelt wishes, the night reminded us of what matters most to us here – each other.

This year’s Boarding Winter Ball was an incredible evening for everyone in CDB! The event brought our house and the CDL boarding community together for a night filled with laughter, music, dancing, and delicious food. It was wonderful to see so many smiles and shared moments on the dance floor—truly a celebration of the season and our community spirit.

A huge thank you to Mike and the entire team who worked hard behind the scenes to make this event such a success. We also want to appreciate everyone who spent time with the students, ensuring they had a memorable and enjoyable evening. Your efforts made all the difference!

What a fantastic way to wrap up the term and celebrate together. Here’s to more great moments ahead!

The festive spirit is alive and well at Champs-des-Bois! From joyful winter concerts that filled the air with music, to the traditional breaking of the Escalade marmite—a sweet reminder of Geneva’s rich history—our community has embraced every moment. Primary students added a cozy twist with Pajama Day, bringing laughter and warmth to the season. These celebrations have been a wonderful way to come together, share traditions, and create lasting memories as we head into the holidays.

The CDB Team❄️🎄

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!

This evening at 18:00, we gathered in the Eiger Auditorium for a truly magical event—the Boarding Winter Concert. Our talented boarders took the stage and filled the room with music, dance, and festive cheer.

The evening opened with an energetic performance by Paul David, who wowed the audience with three different hip-hop dances. From there, the program continued with a wonderful variety of acts: students playing the piano, dancing, and even performing on the ukulele. Samuel added a special touch by singing Celebrate, and to close the evening, he delighted everyone with a heartfelt rendition of Feliz Navidad, wishing us all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

It was a night filled with laughter, joy, and unforgettable moments—a perfect way to celebrate the season together.

Using gingerbread biscuits and plenty of sugar glue, the boys worked together to build their masterpiece. Throughout the afternoon, ideas were flying—some boys even popped into the office to share creative suggestions or lend a helping hand.

The result? A stunning winter-themed gingerbread house, complete with snowy details and festive charm. We are so proud of the energy, teamwork, and creativity they put into this project. It turned out absolutely beautiful—truly a winter wonderland in miniature!
