The kitchen in Concha is getting lots of use lately and while at the beginning of the year our boys were not very experienced chefs, they are now making delicious meals for themselves and their friends. Fanyang made perfect egg noodles with pork, vegetables and a spicy sauce.
We have quite a few good cooks in the house and it might be time to put together our own Master Chef cooking competion, I’m sure the judges would be impressed.
Chef Fanyang and two lucky customers
Winding down after a very eventfull weekend and getting back into the weekly routine. The boys have a few important tests coming up and are studying hard together at the desk.
Today, Ms Manuella from the Marketing Department paid our Concha boys an unexpected visit. All together with Mr Víctor, they organised a filming session for the school’s social media.
Today’s challenge was simply to translate some words from a list into their languages, so as to promote internationalism in our school and prove how enriching being surrounded by people from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds can be for the kids. They are really lucky!
Three outstanding students decided to join the video, Adrian (Switzerland), Fanyang (China) and Firdavs (Uzbekistan). Mr Víctor (Spain) joined as well representing the staff and adding a fourth language to the video.
If you want to see the final result, stay tuned to the school’s social media. Don’t miss out!
Tim has discovered the thrilling sport of climbing. He has joined this club for the past few weekends. Despite not having any prior experience he has now taken his climbing to a new level. He manages to climb some of the more tricky routes and is even starting to lead climb with a rope on the 15 metre wall!
After dinner is always a great time to shoot some hoops. We are lucky enough to have such a great space right outside our front door.
The first week of school has ended up being pretty memorable for everyone! Our Concha boys seem to get along well with one another. Our first-time boarders are enjoying this brand-new experience while making friends belonging to this international community. There is something that unites them all: sport passion! – concretely football.
No matter where they come from, a good football match at the Concha Boarding House is the best way for them to make good connections and become lifelong friends.
We have been very lucky today to have the best weather we could have asked for on this Saturday morning, the sun was really shining! The boys were up early to make the most of the day. We had Eduardo and Javi in Lake Léman skipping over the waves in the Bananaboat activity. João and Henrique joined the Tennis Club and worked on their technique. Juze spent some time on the local farm with some beautiful horses, doing some riding and caring for them. Gianni was in the Concha garden playing Beach Volleyball with some friends.
We can’t wait for another full morning of fun tomorrow!
It’s amazing to have the Concha House and Leman Dining Hall full of laughter again! Lots of new faces are already settling in amongst our Boarding Community. Tonight we celebrated Swiss cuisine with many traditional Swiss dishes and of course lots of cheese and chocolate!
