This weekend, the Léman boys got involved in a variety of activities, enjoying a relaxing weekend after a busy academic week. Our boys participated in activities ranging from cooking, in which tiramisu was prepared, to climbing and tennis. Some also got involved in the packing of gift boxes for disadvantaged youth, a commendable and constructive use of their time. Great fun was had by all, despite the absence of the much-loved golf sessions and the cold weather setting in!

Gift box preparation – supporting those in need
This weekend, several of our boys got involved in preparing gift boxes to provide support to those in disadvantaged and unstable areas. This occasion represents Collège du Léman’s spirit of selflessness and internationalism and highlights the importance of supporting those in need, wherever they may be. Numerous students got involved, and we are all proud of them for their enthusiasm and willingness to participate. Commendations must go to Eduard, Aijuka and Cheickna in Leman for giving their time to ensure that children and young people in difficult situations can benefit from some of the joys of this time of year. Well done, boys.
A weekend of sports tournaments
This weekend, Adi, Bisher, Masafumi, Michael and Liusen represented CDL in Volleyball and Fencing tournaments. The Volleyball boys came fourth in their tournament, beating several teams convincingly and working well as a team. Liusen and Michael came in third and sixth, respectively, out of 15 students, demonstrating their abilities to a great extent. The Boarding team, as well as their coaches, are very proud of them. Congratulations to all of our boys involved in these tournaments – well done!
Life after Boarding by Amir and Gia
Tonight our Head Boy of Prefects from last year came to visit us and talked to our Grade 11 and 12 boarders about Life after Boarding together with Gia. Both of them graduated last year and they are studying in different universities, but they search for a moment to come back and talked to our boarders about the processes they are going to live during this year or next one and how is it after Boarding. They gave wonderful advice for the Boarders and we wish the best for their future.
Thank you Amir and Gia!
Cooking time
This evening Nicolas and Samuel have been preparing tortilla de patatas, a typical Spanish dish. In Spain, whenever we talk about tortilla de patata, the question of team with onion or without onion always comes up. In the case of these guys, it’s Team with onion.
We are happy to see the kids cooking and sharing typical dishes from their countries.
Happy Birthday Farid!
Another Weekend at CDL!
Following a busy week, the boys took advantage of the long weekend this week to relax by partaking in numerous activities, both on and off the school grounds. Golf, Tennis, Boxing and Cooking, among others, were all enjoyed by the Léman boys and it was clear that, despite the days getting colder, the boys had great fun!
Happy Birthday Apollo!
Happy Birthday Apollo, many happy returns! We hope that you had a lovely day and enjoyed the Tiramisu!
November starts with a blast
The first weekend after the Autumn break, as well as the first of November, has been a blast. Students eagerly participated in their favorite activities. We also welcomed our new boarder, Farid, who quickly made friends and joined the boxing club. Meanwhile, Adam, who constantly trains hard for hockey, found time to join Sunday tennis and showcased intense energy. This weekend we offered, among others, Climbing, Tennis, Boxing and probably, for the last weekend, due to the cold and inclement weather, the students were able to join Golf.
Overall, despite the cold but shiny days, our students were able to join all the activities that were proposed.
Adventure in Tanzania through Kelly’s lenses
During the October break Kelly was part of the expedition to Tanzania. He took his camera with him and put into practice what he had learnt in the photography classes. So here is the journey through Kelly’s lenses.
Enjoy it as much as he did on Safari and in Zanzibar!
