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.
Chill in Concha
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!
The Guitarist and the Vocalist
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.
Hockey Match – Geneve Servette vs Berne
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.
Baking Competition: The Creation of the ‘Concha Caramel Mess’
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

The Infinity Cake
In a sweet twist of creativity, students brought the Marvel universe to the kitchen in a baking competition. One standout creation was a cake inspired by the Avengers and adorned with edible replicas of the iconic Infinity Stones. As taste buds embarked on a heroic journey, the delicious spectacle proved that baking can be a true superpower.
A Finger-Lickin’ Birthday
