Building strong connections with our students is a fundamental aspect of boarding life. Last week, we had the privilege of participating in our Boarding Football Tournament, an exhilarating event held under the lights, where students faced off against the boarding staff in a highly competitive match. The game was fiercely contested, showcasing both tactical discipline and sportsmanship from both teams. In a thrilling conclusion, the staff emerged victorious with a decisive “golden goal.” It was an honour to compete against a team of such character and determination, reinforcing the spirit of camaraderie that defines our boarding community.

This weekend, Cheickna, Oleg and Michael took part in a local “Bridge builders” event, attending a social event to meet and spend time with displaced Afghan.

“On Saturday, we want to Bridge Builders – Les Caves Versoix, which was near the school. We had Afghani food when we first arrived, including some delicious bread with sauce prepared by one of the refugees. Overall, the experience was wonderful. We left after hearing an informative discussion and seeing multiple performances by the Afghani people that were present.” – Cheickna.
