Today, Emir took part in the monthly Assembly, where he spoke about the Nowruz celebration alongside Seyed and Paria 🌸🎉. It was wonderful to see Emir stepping up and sharing such an important tradition with the community. His confidence and maturity were clearly visible, showing how much he has grown over time. Emir is truly becoming a strong voice for others, and it was inspiring to watch him represent himself and his culture so well 🙌👏.

Nathan had quite a busy and exciting day today 🎉. The morning started with everyone singing him Happy Birthday 🎂, which brought smiles all around 😊. Later in the evening, after enjoying a nice dinner 🍽️, he returned to the house and went straight into rehearsals for the upcoming talent show 🎭. As it ended up being quite late 🌙 and everyone was tired after giving their best during practice 💪, we decided to skip singing Happy Birthday a second time and went directly to sharing and enjoying the birthday cakes together 🍰.

Churros are a classic treat that may seem simple, but they hold an undeniable charm and flavour that stem from the attention to detail in their preparation. At first glance, churros might appear to be just a straightforward recipe, but the magic lies in the process. The dough is not complicated, but it requires careful handling and patience to get just right. It’s not about following an intricate recipe, but rather about being consistently attentive and focused on each step to achieve the perfect result.

Once you’ve carefully prepared the dough, the next step is crucial: shaping it. While many recipes suggest using machines, there’s something special about shaping churros by hand. This step helps to strengthen the dough’s texture and ensure it holds its form during frying. Hand-shaping allows for the right balance between thickness and consistency, making sure each churro cooks evenly and comes out with the perfect bite.

When it’s time to fry, attention to detail remains essential. The temperature of the oil plays a huge role in achieving the right texture. If the oil is too hot, the churros might cook too quickly on the outside and remain raw inside; too cold, and they might absorb too much oil, becoming greasy and heavy. Frying churros requires patience and experience to get that crispy golden-brown exterior while maintaining the soft, light interior that melts in your mouth.

The moral of the story? Churros are a perfect metaphor for life itself. Success doesn’t come from rushing or cutting corners. It’s about being steady, having patience, and paying attention to the small details. Whether you’re baking, cooking, or pursuing any goal in life, consistency and care in every step lead to the desired outcome.

The entire Concha team wishes you a fantastic week ahead, whether you’re embracing the fresh mountain air and enjoying exciting adventures on the slopes or spending quality time with your loved ones in the warmth and comfort of home. May this week be filled with joy, relaxation, and memorable moments!

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.
