L’escalade – Geneva Tradition
Each year, in the canton of Geneva, we celebrate a tradition to mark an incredible triumph against an invasion on the city in 1602. The story reads that some of the people of Geneva fended of the attack by pouring cauldrons of hot soup from their windows onto the troops, causing them to retreat.
To celebrate this tradition, each year, the youngest and oldest person in each houselhold smash a chocolate ‘Marmite’ and recite the following sentence:
“Ainsi péerissent les ennemis de la République”
*Please click on the link above to see a video of the Léman boys ‘smashing the marmite’.
Happy Birthday Tim!!

Boarding House Competition – Bake-Off
Aydan loves to be in the kitchen, whether he’s cooking chicken teriyaki or making a tasty dessert.
Today we have the latest instalment of the Boarding House competition – The Bake-Off. There was only one boy for the job.
Aydan had the idea to make spaghetti meatballs – entirely out of cake!! We are so thankful for his efforts and creativity- Good job, Aydan!!
Samedi du Partage
This weekend, around 20 Boarding students, took part in an incredible charity initiative. The students set up a station at a local supermarket all day on Saturday and took food donations from members of the public. Everything that was collected will now go to a local charity. They did an incredible job and gathered large amounts that will really help people in need. Well done everyone.
