Many congratulations to the Los Manitos football team who have WON this year’s annual Boarding Football Tournament. The team included some of our Léman boys.

They played incredibly well all year, and we are proud of the amazing effort and fantastic teamwork they showed all the way to the end.

Well done lads.

Another weekend, another host of opportunities for our Léman boys to take full advantage of all the fun activities we have available to our Boarders at the weekends.

This weekend, the boys enjoyed horse-riding, tennis, cooking, climbing, running, golf and karting!!

It was a special evening for our Quique and the lovely Marusya who enjoyed a special dinner yesterday.

This privilege dates back from when we did a Charity bid in support of the victims of the Turkey earthquake. Marcelo won the bid but he felt he should offer the privilege to his friend Quique who then shared it with Marusya.

Lovely gesture from Marcelo who showed how great his heart is.

And in every lovely story there’s an element of comedy and that was provided by Mr Antonio who, as part of the deal, did all the table setting and waitering for the lucky Marusya and Quique… they only had to sit down and enjoy the food and the service.

The menu consisted of:

• Green salad, tomato and cucumber salad with its balsamic vinegar sauce
• Couscous
• Lemon pie
• Ice Tea and water

A lovely, generous gesture from all of us and a special moment for two of them 🙂

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 🙂

The Sun came out this weekend and gave a marvellous opportunity for our boys to be outdoors and release some of the pressure from the exams. Between Sports and leisure activities, have a look at some captions of these moments:

We are back from the Spring break, and so are our incredibly fun weekend activities.

The Léman boys enjoyed a variety of activities this weekend including, cooking, climbing, tennis, running, golf, horse riding and woodcrafting.

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.

Some of our High School students, including two of our musically talented Léman boys, put in amazing performances this evening at the High School Music Showcase. We are so proud of all the musicians who performed!

The Léman boys enjoyed the usual range of amazing weekend activities that were on offer.

These include: Tennis, Woodcrafting, Cooking, Horse-riding, Running, Climbing and Chess 🙂

We took the Léman lads on an exclusive House activity trip!

After the votes were taken and counted, the winner was KARTING!!

We all had so much fun and we realised that they are all extremely fast in a go-kart!!

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!!

This evening two of our boys participated in the High School Talent Show – Gabriel Legros and Amir Pedersoli. They shined with some brilliant Performances. The Jury decided and our Amir won the PRIZE !! Congratilations Amir !!

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.

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 🙂

This afternoon a few of our boys shined on stage for their Literature and Performance Class. They presented scenes from Lorca’s classic play – ‘Blood Wedding’. A few shots of this event:

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!!!

Despite the rainy weekend, this did not stop our boys from joining activities and being active. Enjoy the images captured from these moments :

This evening we had the most anticipated event of the year in the Boarding community. The Boarding Talent Show. The Léman boys did us proud with a song and dance!!

Another weekend of fun activities for our students this weekend including; skiing, paintballing, tennis, badminton, horse riding, running, cooking and many more. We were also happy that our students were given the possibility of visiting the Frida Kahlo exhibition in Geneva this weekend.

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.

This weekend was greeted by rain and a cloudy sky, but that did not stop our boys from getting out and doing great activities.

Have a look at some of these moments:

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.
