Birthdays are always a big celebration in Leman House and today was Jeff’s turn to get his cake and to receive all the affection from his friends.
We wish you all the best in your life Jeff. Happy Birthday to you 🙂
Whoa… we are back again 🙂 It’s always surprising to realize how quick time can fly when you’re having fun
We hope everyone had a great spring break and we are now open for business as usual. For the coming weeks a lot of excitement is planned to take place hand in hand with some serious work to be done.
On the academic side, the end of the year means exams approaching: all boys will be focusing on these important tests which will have an effective impact on their grades. This is even more important for those who are now seniors and working for their university applications. For our grade 12s, in early June we will have the emotional Leavers Ceremonies, crowned by the formal Graduation on June the 3rd.
With the first rays of Summer approaching, the Lake Activities will pick up again. We expect to explore this unique natural feature again as it is such a privilege to have a beautiful lake, minutes away from our school.
And of course on sight we have the summer break… 🙂 These next two months will be eventful so here is a good reason to watch this space.
For the moment we are welcoming back all the boys and we wish them a wonderful final term.
…and so another term is over and we attack the Spring break with a lovely sense of accomplishment. So many things to celebrate, moments spent together, academic and personal successes… and obviously some struggles which are only part of life.
For now it’s time to enjoy the break, recharge batteries, see the family and friends. In two weeks we will embrace the final stretch of the year: end of Marking Period, exams, lake activities, trips and for our grade 12s, Graduation.
A lot to look forward to… just watch this space.
There was a thrilling football match this weekend between the two tops teams in the Swiss Super League. Before the game, Young Boys were 18 points clear of Servette (from Geneva) at the top of the table.
Young Boys went 1-0 up at half time. Servette went on to win the game in spectacular fashion.
Final score: Servette 2 – 1 Young Boys
Some of the Léman boys went to the game and absolutely loved it!!
Almost end of term means end of Wellbeing Pillar. Today in the House Meeting it was time to wrap up the reflections done these weeks and find some conclusions.
We thank Emad for his Advocate work and below we can see the final video of this Pillar

Secondly we had the presentation of the Léman Candidates for the Student Government.
Our House is strongly represented and we encourage the boys to work hard and do their best for the school community.
Good luck boys and stay safe online 🙂
Happy CDL Day!!
To celebrate the core values of our school and support important causes such as Mental Health Awareness, we had a variety of events taking place on campus today!
One of those being, the annual Grand Prix running race around the school campus. The atmosphere was buzzing and we are very proud of everyone who took part, including 14 of our Léman boys!!! Well done everyone!!!
The second part of our Wellbeing topic on Online safety was discussed today. Everybody got engaged in a Kahoot on online safety where we got hints and tips on how to be safe online. Spam messages, phishing, stolen passwords, scams and so many other features are strategies to retrieve personal information from us which will surely be used illegally.
Our safety therefore depends a lot on our reflexes and our knowledge in selecting in what we click on the web. Being aware is a first step… being smart and suspicious is a second one. Better safe than sorry, online as well.
Well done to Ablai and Emad who did a great job in leading this session and being reliable and eloquent advocates of this Pillar.
In today’s House Assembly we have started discussing the first take away point for the 4th Pillar of our Wellbeing Programme.
Online Life Vs Real Life
Our House Advocate was Emad who took over the job of running the session and launching the debate with his housemates.
The latest Boarding trip took place this weekend – to the beautiful city of Barcelona. With a tour around the Barcelona Football Club stadium, a visit to the Parc Güell and a chance to enjoy delicious Spanish cuisine – the students learnt lots about Catalan culture and had lots of fun.
The next trip will take place between 10th and 12th March to the Italian Capital City of Rome……..
Many of our Boarding students made the journey to the amazing ski resort in La Tzoumaz this morning. Where some students went to participate in the third instalment of this year’s ski club, many also went to take part in the Boarding Houses Ski Competition. Lots of fun was had by all, and there are lots of tired boys in Léman this evening.
