Dear all,

What a month it’s been here at Champs des Bois! From start to finish, everyone brought so much energy and positivity to the November Fitness Challenge. It’s been amazing to see you all pushing yourselves, cheering each other on, and having fun along the way.

A big shoutout to Mana and Kimi, who really led the way and encouraged everyone to get involved. You two have been such incredible motivators, and we couldn’t have done it without you! 🙌

And let’s talk about Jin – the champion of the month! Winning the most challenges is no small feat. Your hard work and focus were inspiring, and we’re all so proud of you. 🏆

But honestly, the best part of this whole month was seeing how almost everyone joined in. Whether it was smashing a challenge, learning something new, or just having fun as a team, you all made this such a special experience.

Thank you for giving your best and showing that Champs des Bois isn’t just a boarding house – it’s a family. ❤️ You’ve made this challenge unforgettable, and I couldn’t be prouder of all of you.

Dear all,

It has been another busy weekend in the house. Full of games, activities, trips into town and movie night.

Paul-David took part in a football competition with CDL, going on to win seven games and coming second overall – good man Paul-David!

Mana and Kimi helped out on Saturday with the Samedi du Partage; a charity event supporting those in need. Stationed at store entrances, they encouraged people to donate items. Well done to the boys and everyone who took part.

Lastly, but by no means least, we are getting into the Christmas Spirit in the House – we have the House kitted out and the meery feelings are already taking over!

Wishing you all a pleasant week ahead,

Dear all,

Tonight, we set sail on a culinary journey to Portugal! The cooking team treated us to Bread with chorizo, Shrimp rissoles, Cod squabs, Portuguese roast chicken with potatoes, and, of course, Pastel de Nata for dessert.

Did you know Portugal is home to the world’s oldest bookstore, Livraria Bertrand, which has been around since 1732? It’s also the birthplace of fado, soulful music perfect for eating just one more pastel (or two).

Muito bom!

Dear all,

What a weekend we’ve had!

On Saturday, we kicked things off with some amazing activities in the morning, followed by a very special celebration in the afternoon. It was Paul David’s birthday, and we marked the occasion with delicious cake and some wonderful guests who joined us at the house. Such a great day!

Sunday started off on a relaxed note, with the brunch to fuel up for the incoming adventure. We then visited the famous Cailler Chocolate Factory, where the kids got a fascinating lesson on the history of chocolate and its origins in Switzerland. Of course, the highlight was sampling the chocolate—and buying plenty more to take home to share with family and friends!

Dear all,

Tonight, we enjoyed the delicious flavors of the Philippines! The cooking team prepared Chicken Adobo, Tortang Talong, Kililaw Tanigue, and Bubble Tea for dessert.

Did you know the Philippines has 7,641 islands? It’s also home to the world’s smallest volcano, Taal Volcano, which sits on an island within a lake!

It was sarap!

Dear all,

And just like that, another weekend has whizzed by (far too quickly, some of the boys would say!)

They made the most of it, having had great fun at Balexert on Saturday, playing games in other houses, and partaking in some of their favourite weekend activities.

Now, it’s time to roll on to the new week

Dear all,

Today, the lads from Champs-des-Bois and the girls from Terray got the chance to go the Balexert shopping centre; for a trip to the cinema, have a bite to eat and have fun shopping to their heart’s content!

We went to see The Wild Robot, a beautiful animation, made all the better as everyone selected their favorite snacks and settled into cosy seats for the movie. Then it was a spot of lunch before chilling out and exploring Balexert.

This outing was more than just entertainment—it was an opportunity for students to bond, grow their independence, and create memories.

Dear all,

Tonight at Collège du Léman, we took a flavorful trip to Ghana! The dining hall was filled with the aromas of traditional Ghanaian dishes, and it was a feast to remember.

Our cooking team served up Beef stew, Plantains, Spicy prawns, and a tasty sauce, followed by Boflot with a choice of coulis for dessert.

It was ɛyɛ dɛ!
