Dear all,

Tonight, we had the chance to enjoy a New Zealand-style dinner. It gave us a great glimpse into the flavors and feel of Kiwi cuisine—simple, fresh, and comforting.

New Zealand food often highlights local ingredients like lamb, seafood, and root vegetables. One of the most traditional ways of cooking, especially for the Māori people, is the hāngi, where food is slow-cooked underground using heated stones. It’s not something we could recreate tonight, but it’s a big part of their food culture!

Did you know that New Zealand has more sheep than people? There are about 5 million people and over 25 million sheep! It’s also one of the few places where you can go from the beach to the mountains in under an hour. The country’s love for nature shows up in its food too—local, seasonal, and full of flavor.

Even without knowing all the names of what we tried, it was a lovely and relaxed dinner with a Kiwi touch.

This weekend at Champs des Bois, we might have been a bit waterlogged, but that didn’t dampen our spirits! ☔️

On Saturday, we geared up for a bike training session around the scenic routes of Versoix, preparing ourselves for the upcoming Léman Journey in June. Despite the drizzle, our enthusiasm kept us pedaling through the beautiful landscapes.

Sunday brought out our creative sides at the Art Club. The students let their imaginations run wild, producing some truly impressive artwork. It’s always inspiring to see their creativity flourish, regardless of the weather.

Rain or shine, nothing stops the Champs des Bois crew from making the most of our weekends! 🌧️🚴‍♂️🎨

Dear all,

Today, we shared a Venezuelan dinner at Collège du Léman.The flavors were rich, the spices just right, and the vibe around the table was full of good energy.

Venezuelan cuisine is known for its variety—corn, plantains, black beans, cheese, and meats are key ingredients in many traditional dishes. One of the most iconic foods from Venezuela is the arepa, a type of corn flatbread that can be filled with almost anything.

Did you know Venezuela is home to Angel Falls, the tallest waterfall in the world? It also has beautiful beaches in the Caribbean and part of the Amazon rainforest. Like its geography, Venezuelan food blends many influences—from Indigenous roots to Spanish and African traditions.

Dear all,

Today, we had the pleasure of sharing Russian dinner. We started with a classic Russian salad, followed by Beef Stroganoff with melting potatoes and mushrooms, and finished with a sweet slice of Napoleon cake for dessert. It was a cozy meal with hearty flavors that everyone enjoyed.

Russian cuisine is known for being warm and comforting, perfect for cold weather. The Russian salad, also called Olivier salad, is made with potatoes, peas, carrots, and mayonnaise—it’s a staple in celebrations and gatherings. Beef Stroganoff, originally from 19th-century Russia, has become a famous dish around the world, with its creamy sauce and tender beef.

Did you know that Russia spans across 11 time zones and two continents? That’s why its cuisine has so many regional influences! Another fun fact—Napoleon cake, with its layers of puff pastry and cream, was named after the defeat of Napoleon, and it’s still one of the most loved desserts in the country.
