Dear all,
Tonight, we got to enjoy some classic Chinese dishes at dinner. The menu included Shrimp fritters, Beef sautéed with onions, Chinese noodles, and Stir-fried vegetables with tofu. Everything was fresh and tasty!
Did you know China is home to the world’s longest wall and the busiest train system? It’s also where noodles have been eaten for over 4,000 years!
Our Chinese students were happy to see familiar flavors on their plates!

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,
Tonight, we enjoyed a delicious Canadian-inspired dinner! The menu featured a hearty dish of potatoes with tender beef in a rich gravy, followed by fluffy pancakes topped with syrup and chocolate for dessert. It was a comforting meal that everyone loved.
Did you know Canada is the second-largest country in the world and produces most of the world’s maple syrup? It’s a country known for its warm hospitality and love for good food!
Our Canadian students were happy to see their culture on the table!

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.

Today, we celebrated Secret Santa in the boarding house, and it was wonderful. As it’s the last week of school, it’s the perfect time for fun events like this to get everyone in the holiday spirit.
We all exchanged the gifts, and most of us received exactly what we had hoped for —making a Wish List is always a great idea! Of course, the excitement made keeping the “Secret” part of Secret Santa a bit tricky—some couldn’t help but share who they were gifting ahead of time. But we forgive them because it just shows how much joy this event brought to everyone —we couldn’t help but share in Donny’s happiness as if it were our own.
It’s safe to say that today’s celebration made us feel like the holidays are just around the corner. It’s such a special way to end the term together as a Boarding Family. 🎁🎄

Dear all,
As we wrap up the last week of school before the winter break, the gents from CDB and the ladies from Terray joined forces for an epic Kahoot Table Quiz Night. The event was packed with energy, excitement, and a healthy dose of friendly competition – and some class prizes to boot, which didnt go amiss! Students and staff came together to celebrate the season, showcasing their trivia skills while sharing laughs and fun.
I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who participated and brought such amazing enthusiasm to the evening—you made it truly brilliant!! The energy in the room was electric, and it was incredible to see everyone cheering each other on and enjoying themselves. A special shoutout goes to Mike, whose support made this night possible.
Here’s to celebrating community, connection, and fun—happy winter break, everyone!
