Since the grand final was announced, the Concha boys knew they had to do something together. The kids have been organising this for a couple days and it went very well! They gathered in the living room and brought some snacks and drinks, including Mexican burritos and Spanish omelette, which they prepared with the help of Mr Manu.

It was an exciting match and even if some of them were not particularly happy with the result, the truth is they enjoyed it anyway, as they were together creating more boarding life moments.

We can feel the tension and uncertainty!

June is almost here and that means good weather is coming up!

The Concha pool is finally open, so the kids took advantage of this opportunity to have a swim with their friends and sunbathe while listening to their favourite songs and chatting. They also got some snacks to make this ideal plan even better. But not only did they go to the swimming pool, other kids decided to stick to sports after studying, or simply enjoy the breeze and good temperature outside while having an iced tea. These kids know how to have fun!

Not exactly the Concha garden but it is always good to give some highlights about these three and their friendly basketball matches 🏀

After a hectic swimming pool afternoon, they are ready to have a nice dinner in Versoix! 🍽️

It was a strange day in a strange week—Tuesday, though it felt like a Thursday. With half the house away on a short outing, the remaining students gathered to celebrate Matthew’s birthday, singing to him and sharing their best wishes. As a special treat, Matthew also had the chance to go to Geneva with Vincent to enjoy a meal.

Happy birthday Matthew!

Today, the Middle Schoolers went to beautiful Nyon to see “Seussical JR”, this year’s CDL musical production.

This year, selected talented students have come up with a imaginative musical that brings Dr. Seuss’s world to life. From the Jungle of Nool to the tiny town of Whoville, the Concha boys were impressed by the catchy tunes, storytelling and unforgettable characters like the Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, and JoJo the Thinker. CDL’s Performing Arts Programme provides our students with a rich, world-class arts education, offering them access to professional expertise and inspiring opportunities to grow as confident performers.

The kids had a blast and, as they came back home quite hungry, we had some time to have dinner together while discussing our favourite moments of the musical!

These three were looking forward to seeing some of their classmates performing!

All set!

As the good weather is coming up, the Concha kids take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to go out and carry out plans they cannot normally do during colder times.

As usual, they went to their weekend activities – this week they mainly joined wakeboard, golf and climbing – and enjoyed some sunny Geneva time with their friends, eating their favourite meals in some of the best spots in town and buying things they were craving. All in all, a funny weekend to kick off the good weather season!

Fanyang and Rochelle from Villa du Lac had some Thai soup at home!

Tim and Fanbo love spending some time in the Olympus Basketball Court in the afternoons

Eduardo really enjoyed last time so he couldn’t help but practice wakeboard again!

Martin reached the top! 🏆

On Sunday afternoon, we visited Yvoire (France) for a couple of hours.

Tonight, we celebrate Zhengtai’s 14th birthday!

The kids gathered in the living room, waiting for Zhengtai with a delicious chocolate cake, one of Zhengtai’s favourites. They ate the cake together while laughing and chatting about topics of their interest. They had a blast! 🤩

This is THE group picture ⚡️

Today, it was the International Day at school, where all the kids got to celebrate their diverse backgrounds by bringing flags and decorations from their countries of origin as well as some food for everyone (students, teachers and staff) to try.

There was also music, played by our favourite Concha DJs, Emir and Eduardo, with the help of the best assistants they could have asked for, Joao and Henrique. They nailed it and everyone absolutely loved their performance!

You can tell Emir takes DJing seriously!

¡Vamos, Eduardo!

We had 4 strong members form a team of super brains for the Internation Quiz, earning points for us in the House Competition! The Concha Lads competed against the other Boarding Houses in quizes about international knowledge, geography and flags.

Our boys competed very well and took home with them many points to help us move up on the overall scoreboard.

Well done Concha Lads!

Concha Lads are on fire!

Another fantastic goal we want to acheive with the Middle School students this year is to cycle around Lac Leman. Of course this is a big task so we must start with small steps. This Sunday the children, led by staff, cycled to Nyon and back to Versoix. A great starter to help improve stamina and road saftey.

Zhengtai is ready to ride!

Boarding is always busy and we have so many options for clubs and activities but we still find time to add in more. This weekend we set up a fundraiser for cancer research that the children and staff could donate to and take part in.

We set up a 24 hour relay run! Staff and students took part by running in slots of 30 minutes from 11:00am Saturday until 11:00am Sunday. Some students wanted to run more than their allocated slot which was amazing to see. The enthusiasm and dedication to such a great cause is truly inspiring.

Thank you to all who helped make this happen!
