Closing the Boarding House for Half-term

We are now preparing to close Léman Boarding House for the February half term. Well done to all our boys for all they have achieved this half term.  We hope everyone gets a well-deserved rest and return with fully recharged batteries ready to work hard for the send half of this term. We hope everyone has enjoyable breaks and we are already looking forward to seeing everyone in just over a weeks time.

We hope all our students heading to Crans Montana for this year’s Winter Camp have an amazing week in the snow!!

“Partage” the love!

As a Boarding community, we are aiming to contribute to a local charity project – “Partage” the love!

We are aiming to collect 3000kg of food and other household items to donate to those in need.

A huge thank you to Zihao and Stefan for helping gather donations from the Léman Boarding House

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”

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.
