The atmosphere on the school campus today was vibrant, as we celebrated CDL day, a day where we aim to raise awareness about climate change. This special day also saw the return of the Grand Prix, an anuual running race on campus for all grades. Due to the global pandemic, the Grand Prix hasn’t been able to take place on campus for 2 years. Well done to all the Léman 1 boys, and all the Boarding students who took part in this incredible event today.

Today we celebrate Iranian New Year!

It marks the first day of spring or the equinox.

Wishing all of our students a happy and healthy year ahead!

On Saturday evening Karim went with a group from CDL to attend the Swiss Tech Convention which was showcasing the Legends of Space show.

The Crew, plus their Captain Mr. Antonio, our resident Space Buff.

They had the incredible opportunity to be around astronauts that have actually set foot on the moon – a rare and memorable moment.

This sunny morning Ablai woke up bright and early for a 5km run.

While he feels he could have pushed himself more, we’re impressed by his motivation!

Morning Warriors

Junqi spent Saturday morning at the nearby horse ranch, looking after the residents and practicing his equestrian skills.

On Saturday morning, a few of our boys attended the Cooking activity and made some lovely cheesecake.

Big Smiles

Uh Oh…

This evening, in a match between AC Leman and Conchattack, Leman won the final 6 – 4! Congratulations to our boys and good game to the Concha crew!

More congratulations for this young man this evening. Today Amir took the ‘End of First Cyle Exam’ at the Geneva Conservatoire.

He passed with ‘Distinction with Congratulation’s.

Another fantastic achievement for Amir. He works so hard and we are all so proud of him.

Amir played a piece tonight at a Concours de Piano.

Specifically, he played Prelude op 6 no.3 by Robert Muczynski.

A little sweet and a little savory, tonight both Leman 1 & Leman 2 got together and had a blast making some delicious crepes and raclette.

We enjoyed an evening full of laughs, music, and of course – cheese.

It begins!

Inter-house unity…or collective hunger?

Multitasking at it’s finest

Amirhossein and Zihao spent Saturday morning cooking up a storm.

Apparently, they made a red berry crumble. I say apparently because it was gone before anyone could take a picture of it!

Anticipatory smiles as they put their food puzzle together.

Congratulations to Iman for winning this weekends SGIS Badminton tournament in Lausanne!

His legs sure are tired though.

Some seriously impressive play.

Keeping the energy levels up.

We would like to congratulate Amir on a fantastic achievement today! Amir took part in the Geneva Conservatoire North American Composers Competition. A competition he has been practicing for for a long time.

Amir was deservedly crowned the WINNER of this competition!

We are all so so proud of him. Well done Amir.

We would like to give a warm welcome to the latest addition of the Léman 1 team. Mr Tarun has now joined us as a Houseparent. Mr Tarun has worked in the Léman building before as well as several other Boarding Houses here at Collège du Léman. Mr Tarun is already well known by the Léman boys and we are delighted to have him back with us. Welcome Tarun!!

We start the term without a longstanding figure within The Léman 1 Boarding House. Mr Gordon has been a Houseparent in Léman 1 for almost 10 years and will now go to work in The Olympus Boarding House. Although he is not going far, he will be missed by all of us in Léman 1. We would like to thank Mr Gordon for everything he has done for us. We wish him all the best for his next adventure. See you soon, Mr Gordon.

Many of the Léman 1 boys have returned from the February break having spent the week in Crans Montana for this year’s Winter Camp. The boys returned very tired but with giant smiles on their faces after plenty of incredible skiing, beautiful mountain views, and fun winter activities.

We hope all our students and their families had a wonderful break during February half term. We are looking forward to welcoming all the boys back with us.

Another fantastic weekend here on campus, packed with incredible activities. This weekend the Léman 1 boys enjoyed a wide range of fun activities including tennis, volleyball, cooking, bowling, badminton, running, as well as a trip to a trampoline park.

More ski/snowboard opportunities for the Léman 1 boys this weekend. The first instalment of the special ‘ski days’ saw a number of the Léman 1 lads head to breaktaking mountains in La Tzoumaz. The conditions were perfect, the boys had a lot of fun and they are all incredibly sleepy this evening!!
