Olympus 30 – 22 Léman

Huge congratulations to all the boys who played in the Basketball match this evening. Up next: The Franconis Warriors

Today its our House Pianists Birthday …

Happy Birthday Amir !!

This weekend the rain decided to stay but nothing stopped our Leman boys from joining activities and making the most of these days. Golf, Running, Cooking and Tennis were just but a few of many Activites happening around Campus … have a look at the great pictures from this weekend:

This evening 5 of our students had the opportunity to resume the day listening to one of Europes finest Orchestras – The Munich Philharmonic. The experience was a success and all left the Concert Hall inspired and impressed by the impact of a porwerful and emotional program.

The Concert started with Antoni Dvorak’s Carnival Overture Op.92, which brought an impressive starting energy culminating in a striking finale with the Brass section filling the room with pomposity.

Before the interval, we had Pianist Anastasia Voltchok Perform the Ravel Concerto in G Major. As custom with Ravel’s style of composition, we could hear the Pianist bring out the various depths of emotion underneath the sparking Rhythms and contraponctual textures. The second mouvement of this Concerto, the Adagio, a true mastery of touching composition …

In 1827 Hector Berlioz saw a production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet and this moment changed his life. He met for the first time Actress Harriet Smithson and was swept off his feet. The Symphony Fantastique of 1830 was the last piece of the night, and has been regarded as a personal autobiography of Berlioz, about an artist who is madly in love with a woman who does not know he exists. For this reason, there was no emotion unexplored by the grand orchestra and conductor Lahav Shani was able to bring these moments out with clarity and passion.

An unforgetable night a the Rosey Concert Hall !

This evening we had a football match which starred many of our Leman boys but also with special guest players from Old Portena (Chihana) and Villa Terray (Dalaa) – A huge thank you for them joining our Team !!!!.

– AC Leman (4) vs Monkey Squad (0).

Both teams fought really hard for the win and the game was full of emotion. A great evening with no doubt!

The Léman boys represented our House this evening, in this week’s instalment of the Chess Tournament. Well done boys.

This weekend our students in Leman have been enjoying a range of activities – Golf, Running, Accrobranche and Chess – as well as the beautiful but chilly weather!

On this sunny and fresh Sunday morning, two of our leman students participated in the community service activity. This involved walking around the campus and surrounding area ensuring that it is free from litter. Well done boys!

We are now approaching the third week of delivering the first pillar of our wellbeing programme in our Boarding Houses – ‘Nurturing Healthy Bodies and Minds’. 

Throughout this pillar we will be ensuring our students understand the importance of taking care of our bodies and our minds in our day to day lives. Furthermore, we will be highlighting sport participation, sleeping patterns, nutrition and relaxation methods, as sub topics. With the students, we will discuss and discover how all these could play a key role in maintaining a healthy balance.

This week we will be asking the students how a healthy balanced diet can help with sports performance, as well as academic performance, brain development and growth. We will show the videos below to the students.

Timur and Antoni are the student wellbeing advocates for our Boarding House and they will be presenting in our wellbeing session again this week. They will be sharing their experiences and answering a range of questions regarding the importance of good nutrition for sports and everyday life.

Here our some recent photos of some healthy dishes that we have served to our students in the Dining room. Please feel free to visit the Dining at CDL Blog Page following this link: https://blogs.cdl.ch/diningatcdl/

Congratulations to Antoni and Antonio who this evening participated in the first matches of this year’s Boarding Chess Tournament. Well done boys!!

This weekend all our boys got the opportunity to enjoy the Mountain fresh air of Verbier and La Tzoumaz. There were a big diversity of activities and fun games planned for everyone and they enjoyed the time away with their friends.

We captured a few moments of these activities so have a look at them in action:

Jeune Genevois means a bank holiday, which equals to “day with no classes”, which equals to day trip to Lausanne since all shops and venues are closed in Geneva.

A big group of boarders took advantage of this to visit the city, enjoy the views, do some shopping and relax in this beautiful city on the north shore of the Lake.

Tomorrow we will be heading to the mountains… more news will follow 🙂

It is that time of year again when we launch the first pillar of our wellbeing programme in the Boarding Houses – ‘Nurturing Healthy Bodies and Minds’. 

Throughout this pillar we will be ensuring our students understand the importance of taking care of our bodies and our minds in our day to day lives. Furthermore, we will be highlighting sport participation, sleeping patterns, nutrition and relaxation methods, as sub topics. With the students, we will discuss and discover how all these could play a key role in maintaining a healthy balance.

This week we will be asking the students how different sports or creative activities can help them with both their physical and mental health.

Timur and Antoni will be presenting in our wellbeing session this week to talk about the sports they do, why they participate in sport, how they feel afterwards, and the physical and mental benefits they experience after exercise.

Roi wants to improve his English and he wants to do it quickly. Therefore, in the evening Roi always comes to us, before bed time and together we do some reading. We help Roi understanding what he is reading and he is making quick progress.

This evening, Roi brought a new book… Johnny English, the secret agent that became famous thanks to actor Rowan Atkinson.

If the book is as funny as the movie we are gonna have some good laughs 🙂

The highly anticipated Boarding House Competition got off to a flying start today, with the first installment being………………
