As a new school year begins, we are excited to welcome our new Concha lads and welcome back our returning legends!

From left to right: Mr. Sam, Mr. Manu, Mr. Alejandro, Mr. Tarun, Mr. Zach, and Mr. Alexandru!

Dear Parents, we wish you a wonderful Summer vacation.

Please remember that we re-open the house for returning students on the 23rd of August.

On the 24th of June, the Middle School graduation took place in Olympus. The event was definitely emotional, as teachers and valedictorians gave heartfelt speeches about some of this year’s achievements and unforgettable moments. Musical interludes added a special touch to the ceremony, and the highlight came when the principals awarded diplomas to the graduates. A special mention goes to Sam, who was recognised for his outstanding GPA and his contribution to the Boarding House through points earned during the year.

After the ceremony, families, House Parents, teachers and students gathered in our stunning Concha garden for a cocktail. We wish our Concha graduates lots of success in High School, and hopefully they carry the Concha spirit with them wherever they go!

An unforgettable day

The last weekend at the Concha Boarding House has come to an end, but we know how to make it memorable!

In our garden, inflatables were set, in which the kids could play, jump and slide while getting soaked up with the water of the inflatables. They could also get to enjoy some snacks, such as popcorn, and some cold drinks. Kids from other Boarding Houses came and had a blast altogether.

In order to make their last few days in school as memorable as possible, the Academic Team organised a trip to Walibi park, an amusement park in France not far from Versoix. They left school in the early morning on a bus with their Homeroom Teachers and spent the day riding rollercoasters, eating nice food and playing with water in the water park. Once they were back on campus, they started telling us funny stories and showed us pictures and videos from this short but intense trip. All in all, a day to remember!

Ready, steady, go!

Today, our Middle School Concha boys presented their REACH portfolios in front of us and their Homeroom Advisors. They had to present on their evolution this year in different aspects, such as sustainability, creativity or healthy habits.

It was quite emotive to see how much they have grown throughout this year and how they are gradually becoming little intelligent men! We are certain their dreams and objectives for next year will come true.

This week, our Concha Boys have their last few End of the year exams, which will test their overall knowledge on the different subjects they have taken on this year. In fact, they are quite relevant for their academic success, since they account for this year’s GPA! We are certain they will nail them, as they are putting tons of effort into their study! 💪🏻

Our beloved Gianni celebrated his birthday yesterday, June 15th with his family. However, we thought he also had to celebrate it with us at the Boarding House. For that reason, we got him a delicious chocolate cake, prepared some plates and cutlery and surprised him in the living room! As a matter of fact, Gianni’s birthday is the last one we get to celebrate before the summer break. He was not expecting this surprise at all and he confessed he had a blast!

Gianni was still shocked!

These four absolutely loved the cake

The three of them were asking for seconds! (And thirds…)

Mr Tarun was serving slices

Some of our boys wanted to show support and celebrate their friends’ final step in their Collège du Léman journey by cheering for them at our Grade 12 Graduation Ceremony in Geneva.

It’s hard to say the weather is too hot when you look this cool!

Protect the boss.

For the last dinner at home of the year, we got to try some delicious American burgers. The kids could choose between chicken and beef and they could also add some tasty toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, pickles and onion. Needless to say, there were fries as well! For dessert, some mouth-watering chocolate glazed doughnuts were waiting for them.

As the weather is quite nice outside, some of the kids helped us arrange some tables in the garden to enjoy a quiet dinner there.

Spot those kids who are making funny faces 🤪

Everything is almost ready!

This looks yummy!

Everybody is being served!
