Congratulations to our boys for their efforts in the CDL Grand Prix!

Our boys put everything on the line with our very own Joseph Masterson taking first place in the boy’s race.

Our boarding house weekend was a whirlwind of activity and excitement. From the trails to the courts, students embraced diverse pursuits. The running club set the pace with scenic routes and camaraderie.

Handball training showcased skill and teamwork in thrilling matches.

Creativity flourished in the art studio, with vibrant expressions on canvas.

Tennis enthusiasts honed their skills with spirited matches and coaching.

Festichoc in Versoix delighted taste buds with chocolatey indulgence and cultural immersion. Students ventured beyond, savoring truffles and sculpting at the festival.

Throughout, a sense of community and growth prevailed. Indeed, the weekend saw the bustling CDL football pitch transform into a hub of philanthropy, hosting a charity football tournament. Students rallied together, showcasing their athletic prowess while supporting a noble cause. Cheers and applause filled the air as teams competed in spirited matches, all in the name of giving back to the community. The tournament not only brought excitement to the field but also raised awareness and funds for a meaningful charity, leaving a lasting impact beyond the confines of our boarding house.

Each activity fostered joy and connection among students. Our weekend epitomized the vibrant spirit of our boarding house. Here’s to many more weekends of adventure and discovery ahead!

In the heart of Switzerland, our boarders gather for a culinary delight: beef sausage with Rösti. This quintessential Swiss dish combines savory sausages with crispy, golden Rösti – grated and fried potatoes. Amidst the aroma of sizzling sausages and the satisfying crunch of Rösti, camaraderie flourishes. It’s not just a meal; it’s a cultural experience. As they indulge in this flavorful tradition, students bond over the rich heritage and exquisite taste of Swiss cuisine, creating memories that will linger long after the last bite. And to add to the ambiance, Daniel played the piano while Nikita strummed the guitar.

Photos, Friends, and Fun!

Today was a special day as our day began with the annual Boarding Photo.  This was a chance for our boys to brush up nicely. (see below 😁)

Undefeated

She was tired and frustrated

But her task was uncompleted

So she carried on going

As she would not be defeated.

Our Boarding community, in commemoration of International Women’s Day, orchestrated a vibrant march that encapsulated the spirit of solidarity and recognition. A group of our dedicated students actively participated by transforming their shirts into a symbolic shade of purple, a colour synonymous with the movement. Brimming with enthusiasm, they embarked on a meaningful walk around Versoix, creating a visual testament to their support for gender equality and empowerment. The event not only showcased the unity within our community but also served as a poignant reminder of the importance of fostering inclusivity and celebrating the achievements of women around the world.

This weekend was full of different activities, to say the least.  An excursion to Paris for some and a riddle-filled room for others.  Our boarders had a great time taking full advantage of the available activities, as well as resting and preparing for the coming week!

Today Kristian shared with us a tradition form his home country Bulgaria; Martenitsa.

In Bulgaria, the arrival of spring is celebrated with Martenitsa, a charming tradition steeped in folklore. These red and white adornments symbolize health and prosperity, worn from March 1st until the sighting of the first stork or blossoming tree. Martenitsa embodies renewal and hope, as Bulgarians exchange them with loved ones to usher in the season of rebirth. This delightful custom fosters community spirit and connects Bulgarians to their rich cultural heritage.

Kristian brought bracelets to everyone so he could share this tradition with all his housemates.

As the winter weather in Versoix subsides our borders are emerging from Concha house to enjoy Versoix and our beautiful spring garden.  Baseball, boxing, and beautiful runs around the trails of Versoix are great moments that our boys are enjoying to the fullest!

Here are a few highlights from the past few weeks!
