Last Saturday, the entire Boarding community attended the Winter Ball to celebrate the end of the first semester.
Everyone did their best to dress up like true gentlemen, as we try to instill in them at Concha Annexe.
Unfortunately, Adam, Nikita, and Mr. Manuel couldn’t join us for this great moment.
Les garçons de Concha Annexe se sont réjouis de l’esprit de l’Escalade, savourant les délices de la marmite en chocolat. Des rires et une camaraderie remplissaient l’air alors qu’ils embrassaient la tradition, partageant des moments de joie. L’atmosphère festive capturait l’essence de la célébration, forgeant des liens et créant des souvenirs durables au cœur de cet événement annuel tant chéri.
Concha Annexe’s boys reveled in Escalade’s spirit, savoring chocolate marmite delights. Laughter and camaraderie filled the air as they embraced tradition, sharing sweet moments of joy. The festive atmosphere captured the essence of the celebration, forging bonds and creating lasting memories in the heart of this cherished annual event.
The traditional sentence “Ainsi périssent les ennemis de la République” translates to “Thus perish the enemies of the Republic.” The oldest and youngest persons in the room say this before smashing the marmite during the Escalade celebration in Geneva.
Yesterday evening, beneath the enchanting glow of the Boarding Winter Concert, Nikita graced the stage, serenading the entire boarding community. With the gentle strumming of the guitar, Ana Sofia’s ethereal voice intertwined, creating a mesmerizing, romantically-charged performance. Together, they painted a canvas of pure gold talent, casting a spell of romance that lingered in the air.
Excitement filled the air as a group of enthusiastic students eagerly attended a thrilling hockey match. Their faces lit up with anticipation as the players showcased impressive skills on the ice. Cheers and applause echoed through the arena, creating a vibrant atmosphere of camaraderie. The students, clad in team colors, immersed themselves in the exhilarating experience, creating lasting memories of a spirited and memorable hockey outing.
Lucky we had Adam with us, who plays for the Geneva Servette Hockey Team U15; he explained the rules and helped us find our way in the crowd of the huge stadium. We all hope to wear a Geneva Servette Hockey jersey with Adam’s name on it one day.
In a sweet twist of creativity, students brought the Marvel universe to the kitchen in a baking competition. One standout creation was a cake inspired by the Avengers and adorned with edible replicas of the iconic Infinity Stones. As taste buds embarked on a heroic journey, the delicious spectacle proved that baking can be a true superpower.
Kristian celebrated his birthday at favorite fast food : ChicChicken with friends, turning a simple fast-food hangout into a memorable bash.
Amid laughter and buckets of crispy chicken, the laid-back atmosphere and tasty treats made it a celebration to remember.
Who needs fancy venues when you’ve got good friends and finger-lickin’ food?
Kristian had the chance to go to Europapark this weekend in Germany with other boarders.
He had a lot of fun and was dragged into a rollercoaster of emotions and genuine smiles.
We are pleased to introduce our new House Representatives !!!
Each year, the boarding community organizes a pumpkin competition for Halloween.
This year, we were inspired by the Pixar movie “Coco” and opted for a 100% Mexican design. After carving the pumpkin, the boys painted and decorated it. To add a touch of innovation, we installed pumpkin-style lights, a vlogging light, and a small speaker hidden in the hat that plays Halloween music.
Wish us good luck as this year the competition is though.
