This morning our Level 5 students took part in their Winter Concert! The boys in the house showcased their talents, and it was a pleasure to attend featuring Samuel, Yaroslav, Manuel & Daria. A big thank you to everyone involved for making this event happen – it’s wonderful to see the artistic side of these boys shine through.
All the best,

Dear all,
The highlight from the weekend’s activities was the magical escapade to explore the wonders of Disneyland Paris. To say the boys had a magical time would be an understatement. With a whopping fifteen glorious hours clocked in the park over Saturday and Sunday, the crew truly soaked up everything the Mouse had to offer.
From classic Disney charm to Star Wars thrills and Marvel adventures, there was no shortage of attractions, characters, and unforgettable moments.A truly enchanting experience for all involved! Huge thanks to the Trip Staff for pulling all the pieces together—your effort was thoroughly appreciated and certainly well enjoyed!

Dear all,
What a weekend! We started bright and early on Saturday with Samedi du Partage, where our boarders were stationed at store entrances encouraging shoppers to donate non-perishable food items. It was an early start, but absolutely worth it for such a fantastic cause—especially for our Juniors, who found the experience both rewarding and eye-opening.
Meanwhile, another group headed off to Disneyland Paris for a truly magical adventure. With fifteen hours across two days, they managed to experience everything from classic Disney charm to Star Wars thrills and Marvel excitement. A trip full of smiles, laughter, and unforgettable memories!
Closer to home, festive vibes were in full swing at the Montreux Christmas Market, while others enjoyed a cozy movie night watching The Grinch Who Stole Christmas with the girls from Terray. Add in all the usual sports, study sessions, and downtime, and you’ve got a weekend that ticked every box!

Dear all,
This weekend, our boarders kicked off the day bright and early to take part in Samedi du Partage, a charity event supporting those in need. Stationed at COOP in Versoix from the first thing in the morning, they encouraged shoppers to donate non-perishable food items.
It was an early start, but all for a great cause! This was especially brilliant for our Juniors to experience—an opportunity that was both rewarding and eye-opening as they saw how even small contributions can make a big difference. We’re proud of their dedication and their commitment to giving back to the community!

Today was Thanksgiving, and we celebrated it in a very special way. We gathered in the dining hall for a festive dinner that included classic dishes like corn, turkey, pumpkin, and other autumn vegetables. Of course, no Thanksgiving would be complete without dessert, so we enjoyed delicious pumpkin pie and apple pie.
In the evening, we moved to the living room back in the house for a meaningful activity. Each of us took a moment to reflect and write down what we are thankful for. These notes became the feathers of a colorful turkey we created together—a beautiful reminder of gratitude and togetherness. Our turkey of gratitude now decorates the room, reminding us of the things that truly matter.
Dear all,
This week at CDL, we are proud to celebrate Excellence Week, a time to recognize the incredible talents and efforts of our students. In our junior house, every boarder brings something unique to the community—whether it’s creativity, kindness, academic focus, or teamwork. Each individual contributes to making our house a vibrant and supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
Among these outstanding students, we want to give a special mention to Mikito, our boarder of the week, whose enthusiasm and positive attitude have been a source of inspiration for his peers. From engaging in house activities to showing growing dedication in his studies, Mikito exemplifies the spirit of excellence we value so highly. As we celebrate this week, we are reminded that excellence comes in many forms—and we are proud of every student who makes our community stronger every day.

Dear all,
Tonight, the brilliant minds of Terray 27 and CDB came together to spark some festive cheer with a Secret Santa kickoff. The atmosphere was warm and lively as students gathered for games, laughter, and a shared sense of excitement.
Paul-David and Jasper added a special touch by reading a heartfelt festive message before everyone picked names from the hat. The room buzzed with anticipation as students immediately began plotting thoughtful gifts for one another—setting the stage for a truly joyful holiday season.

After an amazing day exploring Montreux, we returned to the house ready to start the week. But before diving into our routines, we took a special moment to celebrate Paul David’s birthday together.
Everyone gathered in the living room, filled with smiles and excitement. We sang a heartfelt “Happy Birthday,” Paul David blew out his candles, and then the fun really began—our favorite game at the moment: hide and seek! Laughter echoed through the house as everyone joined in, making it a birthday to remember.
Happy Birthday, PD! Here’s to many more joyful moments together.
Dear all,
What a weekend we just had! It all started on Friday with the very first snowfall of the season. The moment those flakes began to fall, the whole atmosphere changed — suddenly everything felt more magical, more festive. Some of us rushed outside just to feel the snow on our faces, others stayed by the window watching the world turn white.
Saturday was one of those days where you don’t stop smiling. We kicked things off with the Climbing Cup, and everyone cheered as Yarik gave his best and proudly finished in 8th place. Later, when the sun went down, Olympus became our playground. We played hide-and-seek in every corner, laughing and running around like kids again. And when we finally slowed down, we curled up together for a cozy Christmas movie — the perfect way to end such a lively day.
Then came Sunday, and we took our festive spirit on the road with a trip to Montreux. The Christmas markets there were simply enchanting: twinkling lights, the smell of roasted chestnuts, stalls full of handmade gifts, and music filling the air. Walking through the market felt like stepping straight into a holiday postcard.
Looking back, it was a weekend full of little moments that made us feel connected — to each other, to the season, and to the joy of living together in Champs Des Bois
