Last week, we had a visit from one of the school photographers. We now have some amazing photos that represents what life in our Boarding House is all about.

We failed to beat the rain completely, but otherwise we had a very enjoyable bike ride with the Concha boys on Sunday afternoon.

Before we know it, Finnish skittles (also known as Mulky) will be played by kids all over Switzerland.

That time of week again where the primary and middle school students got the opportunity to visit the school fitness suite. Some serious hard work put in by all 🙂

Our wonderful primary boarders were given the fantastic opportunity to go karting this morning. This is an activity which all the boys in Concha enjoy very much and hopefully we will all be able to go a few times this year.

It was a perfect afternoon to take the Concha boys bowling. We had gutter balls, strikes, people slipping up the lanes – this trip had it all! Congratulations Liam – a worthy winner 🙂

That time of the week again……

The Concha boys very much enjoyed pizza in the Boarding House this evening.

Thursday evening saw the first match of this year’s Boarding Football Tournament take place. Concha, as the reigning champions of the competition, went up against a very strong ‘new look’ Olympus side.

Concha started the game very well, working well as a team, marking tightly and closing Olympus down at every opportunity. With Concha piling on the pressure, the ball was forced out for a corner kick by the Olympus defence. A fabulous delivery from Loris found Mr Rob on the back post to head home the game’s first goal. With the spirits in the Concha team very high, another goal was imminent. Fantastic pressure from Loris forces a pass back to the Olympus goalkeeper, only for Fady to pounce and slot the ball into the back of the net. 2 – 0. Olympus turn it up a notch and manage to pull one back before half time – a powerful strike.

Half time: Concha 2 – 1 Olympus

The teams change ends and the heavens open. The rain came heavy and so did Olympus. The Concha boys continued to play well together and work very hard. As the game went on, the boys became tired and as Olympus introduced fresh legs and some fabulous shots, the game slipped away from Concha.

The boys can be very proud of themselves – Mr and James and Bernardo were solid in defense and Mr Jaime made some brilliant saves. Sasha, Owen, Liam and Yuto were on the sidelines cheering for the whole game – their support was crucial. We are so proud of the togetherness, work ethic, sportsmanship and teamwork the boys showed this evening. The competition is far from over and we now wait for the next game, vs Leman.

Final Score: Concha 2 – 4 Olympus

Man of the Match: Bernardo – some great challenges from him tonight and he never stopped running – well done Bernardo.

Attendance: 20

On sunday, the concha boys enjoyed a fun day out at Accrobranche. The bravery and courage shown by all was powerful. Well done to all the boys who took the leap. Masks were worn where distance couldn’t be kept.
