Dear Parents and Students,

The Boarding House is now open and we are ready to welcome back our boys. We have seven boys returning from Crans Montana where they have taken part in the ‘Ski Week’ over the holidays, skiing, snowboarding and participating in several activities. Those students will be arriving back very shortly this evening. We will also be welcoming back the remaining eight boys across the weekend, who have been home or on holiday with family and friends.

I hope you have had a wonderful week and I look forward to speaking to you soon!

Mr James

“We are top of the league, say we are top of the league!” (Svenningsen, 2019)

Tonight, we saw a scintillating performance from an ever improving ConchAttack side. An inspiring display from our Spanish heartthrob Mr Eriko, led the way with a hat trick, incredible work ethic and great communication throughout the match. The Street Team, made up of purely House Staff, could not cope with the speed, strength and organisation of the Grade 7 and Grade 8’s throughout the game.

Anuar, Masanobu, Sina, Max, Leo, Zihao and Said all represented the team very well, and performed to the highest level. It was also lovely to have Sina’s Father coming to support his son and the team.

Well done boys!

Lots more photos to follow. 🙂

Dear Parents,

I trust that you are well and are enjoying a good week.

This weekend, the Concha students will embark of their second Mountain Weekend in Crans Montana. We will leave on Friday afternoon and return on Sunday afternoon to the Boarding House. The students were very well behaved on the last trip, and enjoyed themselves. We will be staying in the same chalet, which is excellent, as the students will know their way around the area and they will be aware of the timings and the routine. The activities on offer this weekend includes Skiing, Snowboarding, RealFly, Snowtubing, Curling and Studying. Erik and I will be accompanying the Concha students whilst we are away, and we will be sure to take many photos and update the blog when we arrive back to CDL on Sunday. We will also have the experienced help of Mr Salva and Mr Rob in the chalet.

Kind regards,

Mr James

Pizza Party to Celebrate!

Said and Diego are settling in well!

Tonight Mr Salva and Mr Matt hosted an assembly on ‘Self-Esteem’. The focus was on student discussion and their understanding of the topic, self image, peer-pressure, examples in their lives, examples of influences at Collège du Léman, for example clothing, trends and hobbies. Mauricio and Seb were both very engaged and interacting with the group about their experiences.

Lots more photos to follow, however just a few of the weekend. It was great fun, the Concha boys were really well behaved and we loved La Moubra, which was where our Chalet was based and we our our breakfasts and dinners.
