Franconis’ Fantastic Long Weekend: Climbing, Cooking, and Spreading Joy! 🧗♂️🍳🎁
Hello, Collège du Léman enthusiasts! 🌟
This extended weekend was a breath of fresh air for our Franconis family, courtesy of a day off for Parent-Teacher Meetings on Monday. Our boys seized the opportunity to recharge and dive into a plethora of exciting activities.
Let’s start with Navi, our climbing extraordinaire! Scaling boulders on his usual Tuesday and Saturday climbing sessions, he showcased remarkable progress, proving that dedication and hard work truly pay off. 🧗♂️💪
Meanwhile, Martín and Jeff embarked on a culinary adventure with a Saturday morning cooking workshop. Despite the early hour, they embraced the challenge and returned with two delectable apple crumbles, a testament to their newfound culinary prowess. 🍏👨🍳
Aloísio showcased his tennis skills during his regular Sunday session, while Víctor embarked on a boarding trip to Copenhagen, adding another European destination to his impressive travel list. Where will his adventurous spirit take him next? Only time will tell! 🌍✈️
In addition to their individual pursuits, our boys made the most of the extended weekend, enjoying quality time together and with students from other boarding houses. A Sunday visit to the lake, made possible by favourable weather, added a refreshing touch to their weekend escapades. 🚣♂️🌞
As part of the ongoing Respect Week at Collège du Léman, our boys also participated in the Gift Box Appeal on Sunday afternoon. Volunteering their time to wrap gift boxes, they contributed to spreading joy and ensuring that vulnerable kids have presents to look forward to this Christmas. 🎁❤️
Kudos to our Franconis lads for making the most of this weekend, embodying the spirit of adventure, camaraderie, and kindness. Until the next set of escapades, keep shining, Franconis! 🌟🏞️
Celebrating Diversity: Collège du Léman’s Stand Against Bullying! 🌈🤝🌍
Hello, Collège du Léman champions of well-being! 🌟
In our ongoing quest to foster a nurturing environment, we’ve kicked off our second Well-being Pillar, and this time, our focus is on standing strong against bullying. The initial step in this empowering initiative led us to explore and celebrate the richness of diversity, specifically in terms of race and ethnicity.
Our incredible Franconis boys, alongside the entire boarding community, embarked on a meaningful journey by creating videos with their roommates. These videos shine a spotlight on the things they share in common, transcending the physical features that unite all boarders in our school. The result? An inspiring collection of videos that beautifully exemplify the unity within our diversity.
Check out the heartfelt videos below, where our students showcase the powerful connections they share beyond the surface. 🎥🤲
The Franconis family has truly outdone themselves, demonstrating that by embracing our commonalities and celebrating our differences, we create a tapestry of unity that stands resilient against bullying. 🤝🌐
A massive shoutout to our Franconis boys and the entire boarding community for their outstanding efforts in championing respect, understanding, and acceptance. Let’s continue to cultivate a culture of kindness and inclusion at Collège du Léman! 🌈🏫💙
