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”

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.

Wellbeing Pillar 1 – Nurturing Healthy Bodies and Minds

Our first pillar of our Wellbeing Programme is coming to an end. We have shared some fantastic discussions with our students, who have demonstrated fantastic knowledge and and understanding of the topics we have covered.

They have showed us that sports activity, as well as a healthy diet, is crucial for a healthy, happy and successful life.

We have concluded this pillar by asking our students one simple question: ‘How have our friends helped us in maintaining a healthy balanced lifestyle?’

The aim of this question was to encourage the students to reflect on the key takeaway points from this pillar; ‘Sport for a healthy mental balance’ and ‘The importance of nutrition’. They could also reflect on positive influences in their lives, as well as the benefits of group activities. Please find the incredible answer from the students below.
