As usual, our Concha boys made the most of their time off during the weekend and took part in at least one activity out of the several options the school offers every weekend. 🏀

While some of them preferred to have a chill Saturday at the house after their activities, others wanted to go shopping in Geneva. They always find something to do in this cosmopolitan city: buy snacks and clothes, have a nice meal at their favourite restaurant, walk by the Jet d’Eau or simply have fun with their friends while sightseeing. In fact, it was Martin’s first time in Geneva and he confessed he loved it and cannot wait to go back again! 🇨🇭

Martin really enjoyed his first tennis class! 🎾

Let’s go, Fanbo! 🏀

All the way from China…here we have the famous basketball superstar: Tim! ✨

Ken arrived in Barbie’s Dreamland! 🤪

Looks like Martin has made really good friends from other houses! 🌍 Liza and Kapa (Terray) and Rochelle (Villa du Lac)

And of course, Mr Victor (me!) and Ms Rym from Terray, accompanied the kids to this marvelous city! 🤩

Aujourd’hui, our Concha boys got a delicious French dinner delivered at the house 🍽️

As you might have realised, one Thursday a month the kids get to have dinner together with us in the house. Thanks to this initiative, they have the opportunity to try dishes from different countries in the world, which reinforces their perception of multiculturalism and allows them to explore new flavours and traditions. ✨

This month, it was time to try an appetizing French dinner. The main course consisted of a cheeeeeeesy croque monsieur with some chips on the side. Then, it was time for dessert. A yummy éclair au chocolat was waiting for us! The kids loved it (yes, some of them even had two 😝). After dinner, they enjoyed the rest of their social hour, which helped them recharge their batteries for the upcoming study hall. 💪🏻

It was too cheesy to say cheese 🧀📸

Ready to eat! (But let’s wait for Emir to get his chips first) 🍴

This éclair au chocolat was insane! Wish you could have tried it 🍫

Boarding and Crans Montana are back together. Unbelievable weather, skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating, sledging, snowshoeing, bowling. It was non-stop fun and activities for everyone in boarding. Our boys showed respect towards their ski instructors and all House Parents on duty in the mountains. They really showed great effort skiing and snowboarding, the beginners enjoyed their first experience in the Swiss Alps and really tried their best. Well done everyone!

Not a cloud in sight

Sam was selected once again to represent Collège du Léman and joined the basketball team. This time the Panthers traveled for a tournament against 10 other teams. Sam  played really well contributing to his team with, and I quote, ”Quite a lot of points”. We’re sure he’s being modest. So proud of this young talent and great to see him trying his best to succeed in all areas of his life.

He’s cooking!

After a well-deserved break, our Concha boys started to arrive from different parts of the world, where they got to spend their Christmas holidays with family and friends. 😎

Some of them went back home, others travelled around Europe and others went to stunning beaches. But all of them came back to the same place: the Concha Boarding House, where they got to know each other back in August and connect despite coming from very different backgrounds. ✨

As soon as they stepped foot in the house they started telling us memorable stories about their holidays, what they did, what they bought and what they got for Christmas. In addition, they did not hesitate to talk to those who had already arrived, play jokes, go around Versoix together to run some errands or simply cook together in the house kitchen (we have to say that some of them felt really jet-lagged 😂).

After recharging their batteries, they are ready to face they new semester, which kicks off tomorrow. They will face new challenges, learn new things, go on trips to different places… and they will do it together! 💪🏻

We’re looking forward to welcoming all of the boys back to Concha and we are excited for all that is to come in this new semester!
