It was an action-packed Saturday for our boys, filled with adventure and fun as the main events of the day. They also took the opportunity to catch up on some much-needed rest. Stay tuned for more exciting Concha activities tomorrow!

Friday nights at Concha were nothing short of Michelin-star-worthy. The boys rolled up their sleeves and rolled out the dough, ready to create their pizza masterpieces.

October is a busy month for birthday as we have the pleasure of celebrating Daniels birthday today as well!!

We wish you all the best in life Daniel, with many more happy years to come.

Yet another lovely birthday morning

Daniel got the first tiramisu cake that we have had in the house!

On this day we celebrated Joe’s 15th Birthday!

Off to have an an awesome day!

A blurry surprise as Joe got home from football practice

While not pictured here, Joe enjoyed his cake! And so did we!

As part of the boarding experience, external photographers came to the school to take a house picture.

As soon as the kids came back from school, they were asked to put on nice formal clothes to get a picture that will bring them lots of memories whenever they see it in the future. Then, we headed to Cervin to meet the photographers, who gave us professional advice on the spots each one of us should take so as to get the perfect shot. Our Concha boys were really excited about this initiative, as they have become part of such a connected, warm and friendly community.

We will soon be getting copies, which we are really looking forward to!

On the way to get this awesome picture!

Concha Boys united! 💪🏻

Firdavs wanted more pictures, we have a potential model here!

This Sunday afternoon, we took advantage of the sunny weather by having a 5km fun run around Versoix!

4 of our usual running suspects, Alex, Shunyu, Fanyang and Juze participated.

We are proud of all our boys, especially Alex as he came in second, just behind Nico from Olympus!

Shunyu, an absolute machine, who went rope climbing right after this run!

……aaand after!

Not gonna lie, this weekend has been hectic for the Concha boys. For us, it comes as no surprise that they signed up for different activities to keep themselves busy and entertained during the weekend after a long week of school lessons, homework and projects. They have found the perfect activities to disconnect from their routines and spend time doing what they love! Be it Geneva time, climbing, running, golf or cooking, our Concha boys are insanely good at making the most of their leisure time on weekends 😄

After breakfast in the Léman Cafeteria, our Concha boys took on a new challenge: making pancakes! 🤩🥞

Mr Tarun, with the help of Firdavs, Kike and Javi (Stars!), got all the ingredients needed to make the tastiest pancakes the boys could have ever tried. During the cooking process, Zhengtai was thrilled and totally engaged. Javi, João, Gianni and Eduardo joined later, as they wanted to try the pancakes Mr Tarun and Zhengtai had been making together. We counted on the perfect combination: pancakes, maple syrup, chill music, Disney + and good company. What else could we ask for?

Bonding moments like this one make us reflect upon the special and beautiful community the kids are part of in the Concha Boarding House. Cooking and enjoying food is one of the things that make them actively speak and find out new things about one another, no matter where they come from! The common objective is clear: making lifelong international friends! 🌍

Fanyang & Juze participated in the Colour Run, an event held here in Concha to kick of the start of our Global Fitness Challenge!

Big smiles, despite the rain!

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!
