Our boys have returned brimming with energy, their spirits as vibrant as ever. This past weekend, the campus came alive with a whirlwind of activities, each corner buzzing with laughter, teamwork, and boundless enthusiasm.

We at Collège du Léman constantly strive to ignite a passion for exploration among our students. Our activities programme thoroughly crafted by Miss Lucélia has been a cornerstone in this endeavour, offering our boys a chance to dive into unique experiences beyond the classroom.

This month, Miss Lucélia decided to recognise those who have wholeheartedly embraced the programme by treating them to an unforgettable adventure: paragliding. Among the chosen were Shiryu from Concha and Adam from Concha Annexe. Their faces lit up with excitement as they soared above, marvelling at the world unfolding beneath them.

Both returned exhilarated, their spirits soaring as high as they had been in the sky. They were grateful for the opportunity and this experience served as a poignant reminder that dedication and commitment are always rewarded.

Nikita and some of his friends performed at the SOA Rock Concert. With two guitars, one bass, and drums, they delighted the audience with their rock/country style, having a great time despite the weather.

This long weekend, Nick embarked on an unforgettable trip to Venice.

He indulged in delicious cuisine, immersed himself in the rich history of Murano glass, and navigated the intricate water channels, creating memories to cherish forever.

Last Tuesday marked the continuation of our esteemed wellbeing programme as we delved into the final pillar, Pillar 5, “Making Safe and Responsible Choices”.

This particular segment holds special significance as all the materials have been enriched by the contributions of Filippo and Adam. Under the guidance of Mr. Manuel, who has meticulously and enthusiastically prepared everything to ensure it is both meaningful and engaging, this pillar promises to be enlightening.

Throughout the meeting, we explored the concept of peer pressure, examining how it can influence our decisions. The boys were captivated by the visuals created by the advocates and eagerly shared their questions and insights about peer pressure.

After a brief and rainy week, the anticipation for the upcoming long weekend was palpable among all the boys. When we proposed the idea of having a BBQ by the lake, their enthusiastic response was unanimous.

With the invaluable assistance of Ms. Maral, who expertly crafted the perfect recipe for beef burgers, and Mr. Manuel, we prepared a feast fit for our boys. In addition to the burgers, we included some chicken and homemade bread to round out the meal.

Arriving at the venue around 11:30 am, we wasted no time in firing up the grill, a crucial step in any BBQ. Mr. Manuel and Mr. Räphael took charge of this important task. As the delicious aroma of sizzling burgers filled the air, the boys eagerly awaited their meal, with refills of ice-tea keeping them refreshed in the meantime.

Once the burgers were ready, Mr. Manuel and Mr. Räphael served as the ceremony masters, ensuring that each boy received a perfectly cooked burger. The joy and satisfaction on the boys’ faces as they savored the flavors of the carefully prepared meal was truly heartwarming.

Amidst compliments for the chefs and a vibrant atmosphere of happiness, it wasn’t long before every last morsel of food had been devoured. With satisfied bellies and spirits lifted, the boys enjoyed a wonderful afternoon filled with good food and even better company.

Yesterday, our beloved Adam departed for the USA, specifically Philadelphia.

He is participating in an ice hockey tournament where he will be representing Europe. Adam will be away for a week to compete in the tournament.

We’ve left him a message here to wish him the best of luck.
