For tonights International Dinner, we had Poutine from Canada!

This evening we watched a tense opening match between France and Australia.

Both Nadim and Jules, being from France, were relieved at the 4 – 1 final result – especially after Australias goal in the first 15 min!

We are fans of cold brew in the house and enjoy making it from scratch. We tried out some new beans and water to bean ratio, and it turned out great!

Some Ethiopean beans with a touch of cardamom.

This evening we enjoyed some Asian Fusion Cuisine!

Coloring is an incredibly simple way to relax and step away from stress for a moment.

Next up, we have Nadim our House Captain! Nadim enjoys French and English drill, Italian and Mexican cuisine and doing the silliest accents one could possibly think of.

Today our students (and some staff!) had the chance to enjoy some indoor laser tag.

They had an absolute blast!

The last group which consisted of boys from all of the houses!

Round 2 – The Black Out!

This morning we had a few guests come round and the kitchen was busy as the boys were cooking away.

Karim has been itching to make his special Lebanese eggs and they were delicious!

Today was Franconis’ second game of the basketball tournament, and we went up against Léman.

Our 4 Warriors were joined by Louis from Olympus and they played the entire game against a Léman team consisting of about 10 players that rotated in and out.

They did their best, and had a lot of fun!

This evening we enjoyed a lovely dinner together at home around our dining table!

“Finally he’s here! Let’s eat!”
