This week, our wellbeing meeting was moved to the weekend due to our wonderful concert featuring students.
This time, we focused on understanding people with disabilities, illustrating the challenges faced by kids or teenagers with disabilities. We discussed the need for help, assistance, or additional time. Additionally, we explored the topic of babies born with disabilities.
Some of the boys were touched by the discussion and shared insightful thoughts. Being empathetic is key here.
With this session, we conclude our Pillar 2, and we can already sense the holidays approaching.
Last weekend, even though it was cold, the boys managed to do some activities, Horse Riding and Tennis were the favourites.
We leave some snaps here and well done Kristian who woke up early to play Tennis for the first time in the year.
first time on the year.
The first Sunday of December is a cold, yet sunny one! Many of the boys went on a trip to Montreux, in order to enjoy the charming Christmas market along the eastern end of the lake. Even in sub-zero temperatures, the sun ensured the trip was both relatively warm for the month of December, and relaxing, as we approach the end of the first term.
The first weekend of December is a bit of a rainy and cold one. However, the boys found plenty of things to do around the house.
Daniel is also attending a fencing tournament today, for which he has prepared rigorously.
Although the pen is mightier than a sword, fencing is an elegant sport.
Let’s get the holiday vibes on with a bit of saloon blend on the piano.
Liverpool v. Fulham is tomorrow but let’s try to predict the outcome!
Yesterday evening, beneath the enchanting glow of the Boarding Winter Concert, Nikita graced the stage, serenading the entire boarding community. With the gentle strumming of the guitar, Ana Sofia’s ethereal voice intertwined, creating a mesmerizing, romantically-charged performance. Together, they painted a canvas of pure gold talent, casting a spell of romance that lingered in the air.
Excitement filled the air as a group of enthusiastic students eagerly attended a thrilling hockey match. Their faces lit up with anticipation as the players showcased impressive skills on the ice. Cheers and applause echoed through the arena, creating a vibrant atmosphere of camaraderie. The students, clad in team colors, immersed themselves in the exhilarating experience, creating lasting memories of a spirited and memorable hockey outing.
Lucky we had Adam with us, who plays for the Geneva Servette Hockey Team U15; he explained the rules and helped us find our way in the crowd of the huge stadium. We all hope to wear a Geneva Servette Hockey jersey with Adam’s name on it one day.
Dear all,
Today, the boys in the house took part in an inter-house baking competition, and they decided to try their hand at a caramel cake, which was aptly called the ‘Concha Caramel Mess’. While some might argue that other cakes were better, we at Concha know that ours was secretly the best.
How could it not be? The Concha boys made it, so, of course, it’s good!
A shout-out and a huge thank you to Emir, Shiryu, and Firdavs for the brilliant effort they put in.
Best regards,
The Concha Team
