Hey there, Collège du Léman folks! 🌟

Tonight was a culinary journey that transported us straight to the Land of the Rising Sun! 🗻 Our International Japanese Dinner was an absolute delight, and we couldn’t be happier to share the experience with all of you.

Picture this: The elegant setting of our dining hall bathed in soft, ambient lighting, while a serene Japanese garden backdrop added a touch of authenticity to the atmosphere. It was a captivating glimpse into the heart of Japan, right here in Versoix, Switzerland!

As we walked in, the aroma of soy sauce, sesame, and perfectly seasoned rice greeted us, setting the stage for what was to be an unforgettable evening of sushi, sashimi, and everything in between. 🍱🍣

The highlight of the evening was, undoubtedly, the sushi bar. Expert sushi chefs dazzled us with their skill, creating bite-sized pieces of art that tasted as good as they looked. Whether you were a fan of classic California rolls, daring dragon rolls, or the freshest sashimi imaginable, there was something for everyone to savour.

The tempura station was equally impressive, with golden-brown tempura, crispy and light, showcasing an array of vegetables and prawns. It was almost impossible to resist going back for seconds! 🍤

For those seeking a taste of traditional Japanese cuisine, the ramen station was a big hit. With steaming bowls of rich broth and perfectly cooked noodles, it was a warm embrace on a chilly Swiss evening. 🍜

But it wasn’t just about the savoury dishes. The dessert section had its own delightful surprises with mochi ice cream, matcha-flavoured treats, and the most delicate green tea cakes you’ve ever laid eyes on. 🍵🍰

As we sipped on delicate cups of green tea and chatted with friends, we couldn’t help but appreciate the diversity and unity that our Collège du Léman family represents. An international Japanese dinner is a perfect symbol of our global community, where different cultures come together to create something truly special.

So, here’s to the chefs, the staff, and everyone who made this International Japanese Dinner possible. It was a culinary adventure we won’t soon forget! 🎌🥢

As we wrap up this amazing evening, we can’t help but look forward to the next international culinary experience that Collège du Léman has in store for us. Until then, konnichiwa and sayonara! 🇯🇵👋

Cheers to cultural exploration through food, and to the bonds that bring us all together at our beloved Collège du Léman! 🌏❤️

On Sunday afternoon, we held our annual Sports House Competition, and we’re thrilled to report that our Franconis boys delivered an incredible performance, winning five out of the six sports and games they participated in. This outstanding achievement was made possible through their teamwork and tremendous effort. Their families, friends, and House Parents can take pride in their dedication, which clearly demonstrates their camaraderie and commitment to the House and Boarding community. Here are some photos we captured during this afternoon’s event:

Today, on the 30th of August, we joyfully celebrated Meylis’s 18th birthday in our cherished house. We came together as a family and relished a delectable cake, specially crafted to honor this special occasion.

Happy birthday Meylis!

In these initial days, our fresh arrivals at Franconis Boarding House, alongside a few returning CDL students, have been delighting in their newfound family.

They’ve been acquainting themselves with one another, forging connections that will undoubtedly blossom over time. Beyond our walls, they’ve also been immersing themselves in the beauty of Geneva.

Engaging in a diverse array of activities, including treasure hunts, escape rooms, and insightful inductions, they’ve been embracing every moment of their introduction to life at Franconis.

Here, we share some of the moments we’ve captured – moments of pure enjoyment, uniquely their own:

It fills us with joy to extend a warm welcome to these new members of our tight-knit Franconis family. With pride, we usher them into our esteemed community at Collège du Léman.

Following a brief yet enjoyable summer break, Villa Franconis Boarding House is now fully prepared to extend a warm welcome to our incoming students. With the arrival of Mr. Xavi and Mr. Nacho as our new House Parents, we are eagerly anticipating the commencement of the new academic year. Their enthusiasm and energy are sure to set a positive tone for the course ahead.
