One of the most precious things we have is time. We all only have a limited amount of time and once we lose it we can not get it back. Therefore, giving someone your time is one of the biggest privileges we can give to someone.

When we think of charity or helping people, many people are generous in giving money which of course in certain circumstances is a vital aid. However, for things which money can not help, the most valuable thing we can give is our time.

Over this month we have seen lots of examples of this within the Boarding House. People giving their time to help others. Some examples of this where; students joining the annual Lake Clean-Up, students helping others with their homework, or teaching other to iron, or carrying the fruits to the Houses, building furniture, cleaning the kitchen. Sometimes its just as simple as spending time with someone else, inviting them to join in a game, sharing food or showing an interest in someone else’s interests.

Well done to the Leman 1 boys.

The first month of school is nearly over us and apart from all the studying we have been doing there have also been so many activities. This month we have had on offer; wakeboarding, tennis, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, volleyball, Banana boating, horse riding, boxing, biking, badminton, Zumba, art workshop, sailing, golf and drone flying. This is in addition to our Sunday trips to Geneva, Paragliding, Yvoire, and Montreux.

Here are some photos from this weekend.

Positive Thoughts on the board from the last few weeks.

Over the year’s students have donated small mementos from their country or things they have created. These items have accumulated over the years and adorned our shelves in the office. Items which remind us of past students or nice creations which they have made. This year we decided to make this more of a focus and created a Curiosity Cabinet.

We are proud to announce our new Committee members and House Reps.

They will be the voice of the students of Leman 1.

We trust these boys will do a good job and bring lots of fresh ideas to the Boarding Community.

The 3 legged race brought the members of the Leman One House together, united in the search for a victory at the Boarding Sports Competition.

Weekend 2 is under way on a beautiful sunny morning.

For the new students this is an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the area.

It has been an amazing start to the term with a great atmosphere in the House. It is nice to see returning students helping and supporting new students and also older students engaging with younger students. The Boarding House is really starting to bond well into the family we wish to be.

This weekend we had a multitude of activities on offer. This included; tennis, wakeboarding, kayaking, tennis, biking, horse riding, volleyball, sailing, golf and a trip to Geneva.

Dear Friends

Thank you for visiting our blog. This is where we will share with you special moments that we have throughout the year.

Along with our aim of helping our students achieve academically, we believe much more is gained through the experience of Boarding. Gently we will try to guide them to become more independent, conscious, aware and to embody the spirit of Respect, Internationalism, team Spirit and Excellence that are at the core of our Guiding Principles R.I.S.E. at Collège du Léman.

We aim to ensure our students have fun, new experiences, work hard and have smiles on their faces. We are looking forward to the year ahead.
