We have been doing some great work after school, during our study halls in the Boarding House this week. We have done some great work on our reading, our writing skills and our presenting skills.

It was a crisp and fresh Sunday morning, and a perfect time to go for our usual weekend bike ride through the forest. It was a perfect way to get out of the house and exercise before enjoying a relaxing Sunday afternoon. Same time next week……..

Today some of our boys went to help make presents for this year’s gift box appeal. This year, as a school, we will be sending presents at Christmas time to underprivileged children in Eastern Europe, who will not be getting any other presents this year.

This was such a positive event and it was amazing to see the boys so willing to help and do something nice for other people, no matter what country or background they come from.

This also means that some of our boys completed their individual projects for the second Wellbeing Pillar – Protecting against bullying and promoting diversity.

Thank you boys – a wonderful moment.

Owen has been working on building this bird house for the last 2 weeks during the woodcrafting activity. He wanted to give the birds a new place to eat, sleep and visit.

Our Primary Boarders were thrilled to get the opportunity again to participate in a Woodcraft workshop on Saturday morning. Some of these boys were waiting a very long time for this moment. A perfect way to start the day, and the weekend. Another fun activity we can do together as a group.

Nothing wraps up a week of  hard work more than a well deserved movie night, with buckets of popcorn. Another valuable evening spent together as one.

A huge thank you to the senior students who have been in Concha this week to help our younger boys with their homework. It is amazing to have the help and support from the older students in our community. To want to help others regardless of age, nationality and ability, is an important value to us and it is wonderful to see it happening more and more.

This evening, we baked a delicious banana and pear bread for the boys for tomorrow after school! I hope you like it boys!

Winter is coming, but let’s enjoy the colours of autumn first. Beautiful bike ride this morning in Versoix.
