The weekend in Franconis was nothing short of extraordinary, with our students diving headfirst into a delightful array of both familiar and offbeat activities. From captivating games to engaging workshops and spirited sports, it was a weekend to remember.

🛌Pillar 1 in progress😪

Yesterday, our Franconis boys embarked on their journey to explore the first pillar of wellbeing within our boarding community. We take immense pride in the fact that one of our students, Aloísio, passionately advocated for this pillar, aptly named “Nurturing Healthy Bodies and Minds.” This pillar will be dedicated to examining the crucial aspect of our students’ sleeping routines, delving into questions such as the duration of their sleep and the strategies they employ to enhance their sleep quality.

In light of this, our students have willingly accepted the challenge. Initially, they will select a tool to aid in improving their sleeping routines. Each night, they will diligently use this chosen tool, and each morning, they will complete a brief survey to rate the quality of their sleep. Through this process, we aim to assess the effectiveness of the selected tools and determine whether adjustments are needed.

We are confident that this initiative will contribute significantly to our boys’ overall wellbeing and inspire them to make positive strides in enhancing their sleeping routines.

 

🍙🍥🍚International Japanese Dinner 🗾🏔️🎌

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! 🌏❤️
