Dear all,
Today, Mana and Ethan took the stage in a Drama Show at the school, bringing ancient myths and the changing of the seasons to life! They both did an amazing job, and we could tell they really enjoyed being part of the performance.
Of course, Chika and Donny wouldn’t have missed it for the world—they were in the audience, cheering them on and enjoying the show from start to finish.
It was a fantastic experience for everyone, and we’re so proud of our Champs des Bois actors! 👏🎬
Dear all,
Today, we had the pleasure of sharing Greek food at home. Our meal started with Tzatziki & crunchy raw vegetables, followed by Chicken Souvlaki wrapped in warm Pita bread, and for dessert, we enjoyed Greek yogurt with honey and fresh fruit.
Greek cuisine is all about fresh ingredients, simple combinations, and bold flavors. Olive oil, yogurt, and herbs like oregano and mint are key elements in many traditional dishes. Pita bread and souvlaki (grilled meat skewers) are staples of Greek street food, enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.
Did you know that Greece is one of the world’s biggest producers of olives? Some olive trees there are over 2,000 years old and still produce olives today! Another fun fact—Greek yogurt is famous for being thicker and creamier than regular yogurt, thanks to its special straining process.

Dear all,
What a fantastic evening it’s been!
Tonight, the Boarding Community came together for the annual Boarding Talent Show — and what a show it was. The range of talent on display was truly impressive. A huge congratulations to everyone who performed, those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the night such a success, and of course, to our judges (who I’m sure had the tough job of picking the well-deserved winners)!!
Our boys decided to team up and perform their favourite songs, complete with choreographed routines. After weeks of practice and preparation, their hard work absolutely paid off — they were nothing short of amazing! We couldn’t be prouder of their energy, teamwork, and incredible performance.
Please enjoy the video of their performance below!

Dear all,
Chika and Donny are lucky to be going on a residential trip with G5 students to Champéry, a cozy village located in the Swiss Alps, in the Valais region. They’ll get to enjoy a beautiful natural setting and have fun skiing on the slopes of the famous “Portes du Soleil” ski area. Despite its modern ski facilities, Champéry keeps its traditional charm with wooden houses, and in summer, it’s the perfect spot for hiking and cycling.

Dear all,
This weekend, the boys had a wonderful time with a mix of fun activities!
Mana, Kimi, Jin, and Ethan got busy in the kitchen, cooking up some tasty dishes and enjoying themselves. On the tennis court, Xingyu and Ethan had fun improving their skills. Donny spent his time outdoors, getting into the garden and taking care of the plants.
The Cube Challenge also brought out a lot of energy and teamwork, where they worked together to solve fun physical and mental challenges. Mana, Kimi, Jin, Xingyu, and Paul David had a lot of fun! It was a weekend full of laughter, creativity, and friendly competition!

Dear all,
Today, we had the pleasure of sharing Iranian food for dinner. Our meal included Tahchin, a delicious saffron-infused rice cake, Lamb Shank, slow-cooked, and for dessert, Sholezard, a sweet rice pudding. It was a great way to experience the flavors of Persian cuisine.
Iranian food is known for its rich spices, slow-cooked dishes, and love for ingredients like saffron, pomegranates, and nuts. Rice plays a big role in Persian cuisine, with different techniques and styles used to create beautifully layered dishes like Tahchin.
Did you know that Iran is the world’s largest producer of saffron? This precious spice, also called “red gold,” is a key ingredient in many Iranian dishes, giving them their unique aroma and color. Another fun fact—Persian cuisine is one of the oldest in the world, with recipes and traditions dating back thousands of years!

Dear all.
Tonight at 7:30 PM, Collège du Léman football team faced off against Collège Champittet in our sports hall. Jin, Mana, and Xingyu didn’t want to miss it, so we headed over to watch the first two halves of the match.
They were super passionate, cheering loudly for every goal our team scored—and even celebrating the great plays from the opposing team!
After the match, we headed back to Champs des Bois to get ready for tomorrow’s formative tests. A little bit of football, a little bit of studying—sounds like a balanced evening to us! 💪📖

Dear all,
Once again, we’re so happy to have Manamitsu as part of Champs des Bois! This week, he took part in the recording of the Healthy Bodies and Minds video, a project focused on the importance of nutrition and overall well-being.
The video covers key topics like:
🥗 Understanding calories and portion sizes
💧 Making healthy food choices and staying hydrated
It’s amazing to see our students getting involved in initiatives like this from such a young age, helping to spread awareness about health and well-being across Collège du Léman.
Great job, Manamitsu! We can’t wait to see the final video! 🎥👏
