This weekend was full of energy, pride, and smiles here in the boarding community. Our students took part in the famous Escalade run in Geneva — a vibrant event that brings together thousands of runners each year. Despite the rainy weather, our boys showed tremendous spirit. From strong finishes to determined efforts, every student who took part demonstrated commitment, resilience, and a fantastic attitude. We were truly proud to cheer them on!

Back at the house, we shifted from running shoes to celebration mode as we gathered to celebrate Loris’s birthday. The boys enjoyed cake, music, and a warm atmosphere that perfectly reflected the supportive and family-like environment we strive to create. It was a lovely moment of togetherness, rounding off a weekend that highlighted both individual achievement and the strength of our community.

Here’s to more memorable weekends ahead!

It was a wonderful night for Franconis at the CDL Boarding Awards Ceremony, with several of our boys being recognised for their dedication, attitude, and contribution to the community.
