During this month’s assembly, which took place in bright sunshine and fresh air, many significant points were covered.

Mr Antonio presented the charity projects to the students, encouraging everyone to participate and have a positive impact on the local and global community. The first of these will be the 24-hour fun run challenge. It will collect money for thyroid cancer research.

Just 10 points from the podium! We fought, we competed, and we’re almost there! We can easily reach the podium if we maintain our competitive mindset and determination to win. As Optimus Prime said, ‘No victory without sacrifice’.

We were extremely excited to see the new boarding trips planned for the 2025/26 academic year, with exclusive destinations such as Monaco, Nice, Costa Rica and Florence.

Mr Mike presented the schedule for the coming weeks, which includes some exciting projects, such as a trip to Ticino — Switzerland’s most beautiful canton — and the Adventure Middle School Léman Journey. This involves cycling around Lake Léman, also known as Lake Geneva.

The Fitness Challenge has been a huge success, with today’s challenge being the Flip Bottle.

Mr Usher took the time to introduce a positive mindset and a variety of new activities that will be taking place over the next few weeks, particularly the water sports such as sailing and wakeboarding.

Sharing the same passion for watches, Kiké and Emir took a moment tonight to take care of their timepieces.
Mr. Stéphane, a watch enthusiast as well, brought his tools so the three of them could spend time together learning how to change a bracelet or a battery on their favorite pieces of jewelry.

Even though it may seem easy, the process actually requires a lot of patience and dexterity

We are very proud to share with you our talent show performance, for which we have rehearsed for several days and put in a lot of energy and time. We are very proud of our boys and the final result.

After a long week of classes, our Concha boys eagerly await Sunday afternoon – go-kart day! Laughter, speed and friendly competition await as they race around the track, leaving their homework behind. It’s the perfect way to unwind, bond with friends and create unforgettable memories before Monday.

Every December, the streets of Geneva come alive with the Escalade, a cherished tradition celebrating the city’s victorious defense against invaders in 1602. For our students, participating in this historic event is both an adventure and a cultural immersion.

Decked out in medieval costumes, students parade through Geneva’s old town, blending with locals and tourists in a jubilant atmosphere. The event culminates in the Escalade Race, where individuals and teams dash through the narrow cobblestone streets, cheered on by enthusiastic crowds. Boarding  and Day students often take on the challenge, forming teams to compete in the spirit of camaraderie and fun.

Beyond the race, they learn the story of La Mère Royaume, the heroine of the Escalade. For Concha’s boys, it’s more than just an event; it’s an unforgettable experience that ties them to Geneva’s rich heritage.

Tonight, Concha transformed into a vibrant Greek taverna, bringing everyone together for an unforgettable evening. The boys gathered around long, communal tables, the air buzzing with excitement and the irresistible aroma of Mediterranean cuisine.

The feast began with a spread of warm pita bread, tzatziki, and olives, followed by plates of fresh Greek salads topped with tangy feta. The main course was the highlight of the night: perfectly grilled beef meat, dishes so delicious that seconds were inevitable.

As laughter and conversation filled the room, the evening became even more festive with the sounds of traditional Greek music. A few students even ventured into a playful attempt at the sirtaki, their enthusiasm making up for any missteps.

By the end of the night, everyone left the table with full bellies and even fuller hearts, grateful for a shared experience that brought a taste of Greece to the heart of their home.

Today, our boarders embarked on a delightful adventure to the Cailler Chocolate Factory in Broc, Switzerland. This immersive journey offered the perfect blend of education and indulgence, providing a deeper understanding of Swiss chocolate’s rich heritage.

From the moment they arrived, students were captivated by the irresistible aroma of cocoa. Guided through interactive exhibits, they explored the fascinating history of Cailler, Switzerland’s oldest chocolate brand, and traced the story of chocolate from cacao bean to the exquisite treats we savor.

The experience reached its peak as students watched master chocolatiers craft chocolate creations with precision and artistry. The cherry on top? Tasting an array of Cailler’s premium chocolates—an unforgettable moment of sweetness.

This trip not only satisfied their taste buds but also inspired a newfound appreciation for Swiss craftsmanship. A truly delicious day for both the mind and the palate!

Tonight, Concha was filled with laughter and the delicious aroma of freshly baked lasagna. Our boys gathered around a long table, sharing stories and enjoying the hearty meal together. The warm, cheesy lasagna brought everyone closer, creating a sense of family and friendship. It was a simple yet memorable evening, reminding us all of the joy that comes from sharing food and moments with those around us.
