A Great Week in Franconis 🌟

Posted by

It’s been another busy and positive week here in Franconis!

We kicked things off on Tuesday with our House Dinner, enjoying a relaxed evening together over some delicious burgers. On Wednesday, Antonio and Zitian headed out for a run, keeping up their training as the Escalade race in Geneva draws closer.

Over the weekend, the boys have been up to all sorts of things, from studying and eating out with friends to football matches, basketball games, community service, and even museum visits.

Today, the Charity Gift Wrapping initiative, where the CDL boarding community came together to box and wrap gifts purchased through donations. It is a great initiative spreading kindness and support ahead of the festive season.

All in all, a balanced week of connection, routines, activity, and community spirit here in Franconis.

Weekend Fun: Bike Repairs, Pizza Making & a Trip to Barcelona! 🍕🚲✈️

Posted by

This weekend was full of variety and good energy in Villa Franconi! While some of our students enjoyed a school trip to Barcelona, exploring the city and soaking up the sunshine…

…others got involved in repairing and servicing bikes, getting them ready for rides to school and around the village. It was great to see their enthusiasm and practical skills in action!

The house turned into a mini Italian kitchen as everyone took part in making their own pizzas. From rolling the dough to choosing toppings, the students enjoyed a relaxed and delicious evening together. The smell of fresh pizza and laughter filled the house — a perfect way to wrap up the weekend!
