This Sunday we have the Football for Everyone event on campus where boarders can participate in fun football matches while raising funds for charity.

Cooking is ever so popular and Chef Masafumi was making some delightful breakfast in the house!

Chase the ball!

Intercept!

Catch!

Show ’em some moves!

These arms will catch any goal attempts!

Rest but observe the other team you will play against

You might be taller but I’m quicker!

Ready to play!

Lead the charge!

When you are so good that the girls are chasing you.

So, what’s the next move?

Bacon stripes! Bacon stripes! Bacon stripes! Yay!

Chef Masafumi in action.

Yesterday night the boys and all boarders were able to taste and experience some of the incredible food that Chinese cuisine has on offer! Yumm!

This past weekend, the middle school students were lucky enough to visit the Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice) in Chamonix. There was little snow due to the weather being warm, however we were able to admire the views and walk down to the Ice Caves below, where we were greeted to a turquoise blue cave we could wander our way through. On our way down, there were plaques indicating where the glacier was during the year on the plaque. This served as a reminder as to how the glacier has depleted over time.

Welcome back to the Concha blog!
Almost everyone is back and we are back at our game at full. The final stretch, the final quarter has begun! We are near the finish line and life in the house is very smooth.

The weather allows us to spend a lot of time outside on campus and we sure get tired. Therefore we are always very hungry when we go to dinner! The dining hall staff never disappoints, and we walk away full and satisfied! Tonight was the first international dinner after the holidays and we got to taste Albanian cuisine.

We just returned to Concha from the end of February and yet here we are again, at a break!
There has been a lot going on with us, now that the weather is better and we enjoy more sunlight the football matches stretching into the night have returned! Outing in Geneva is a far better experience now too and the garden is not only getting greener but louder too thanks to us!

The trips are amazing, the mood is fantastic and we are all ready to do some well deserved stretching and relaxing before the final Hooray! of the school year!

Dear readers, followers, parents. Enjoy the holidays and the fresh, spring weather! We will be back soon!

This Saturday, we were treated to a football match featuring the local Geneva club. Luckily, we were covered by the rain and were able to see Geneva get a victory over the top ranked Swiss football club!

This weekend, our students had the opportunity to do some of their favourite weekend activities, namely baking and tennis. This was a fantastic opportunity to make some delicious food and get some exercise at the same time!

This weekend, the CDL Middle school students took a trip to Maison Cailler. Here, they learned about how the chocolate was produced and the history of the Cailler brand. Of course, they were able to sample some delicious chocolate! Unfortunately due to bad weather, they were not able to visit the town of Gruyères as planned, but it was a great trip nonetheless!

Happy weekend! This week featured lots of delicious home cooked meals. Throughout the week, Mohammad cooked a lovely chicken dish, while Firdavs made a fresh pizza with Mr. Manuel from next door. To usher in the weekend, we were treated to a house dinner where we were able to eat in the comfort of our home.

Stay tuned for the rest of the weekend updates!

On March 20th Norwuz, the new year celebrations according to the Persian and Iranian calendars were celebrated by people all over the world. As it is usual on Wednesdays, the CDL International Dinner always brings various dishes and flavors from around the world. It is only natural that this week, we had dinner in connection with Norwuz.

The International Dinner is an excellent event each week that allows our students to connect and learn about each others’ cultures through sharing a table and having discussions, tasty meals, and lots of fun!
