World Bicycle Relief (WBR) is a wonderful charity that gives bikes to thousands of students in the developing world. These bikes make their daily commute more practicable and as such reduce absenteeism and improve lives forever!

We have challenged our boarders and staff to run a week’s worth of commuting to school for the average recipient of a WBR bike. In the time they take to do this as a relay team, we thought we could cycle all the way around Lac Léman (170 km) first.

Turns out the runners won!! Great fun for a good cause and we have to say a big thank you and praise our boys Antoni, Ablai, Martin, Amirhossein, Teodoro and Roi. Also a big thank you to Mr Rob who accompanied each and everyone of our runners to ensure they had a safe and motivated run. Take a look at our champions:

As we approach the final days of this school year, our boys had a last chance to explore our many activities in offer for the weekend. Amongst cooking, wakeboarding, Tennis and much more, have a look at some of these moments:

Happy 17th birthday Michel. We wish lots of joy, friends, good health and laughs. From all your Léman family.

This afternoon, the entire Boarding community (including the Léman boys!) had so much fun at our annual ‘end of year event’. Everyone has worked very hard recently in preparation for their final exams and it was very nice to see everyone ‘blow off some steam’ and HAVE FUN!!

Climbing offers many excellent benefits and during this year, Mr. Rodrigo has challenged a few students to find their grip and endurance every week. This problem solving activity keeps a healthy body but also releases stress specially now during this exam period. Antoni and Stefan were regular climbers and in the afternoon had the opportunity to put their skills to the test in a friendly competition followed by a well deserved Pizza.

We thank Mr Rodrigo for being there every week and for the farewell party … well done to the Leman boys and until next year for climbing! Have a look to the boys in action:

We were proud to see our boys start their graduation journey by receiving a memory appraisal of their journey here at CDL in an exclusive Assembly. Have a look at the Leman graduates:

This evening some of our boys participated in the Performing Arts Evening organised by the Head of the Performing Arts, Miss Hannah Picasso. It was great to see their talents on stage and explore their artistic expression. Have a look and some moments of this event:

Thank you, Gabriel, for all you’ve done for Music at CDL.

Well done to Martin and Kosei for their Panthers Sports Awards which celebrate all those who during the year have excelled in dedication, sportsmanship and effort in our extensive sports programme.

Praise also to Gabriel and Max who were both also awarded but could not make it to this ceremony. Léman House is always committed to the values of sports, being them individual or in teams and we certainly are proud of these boys for their E in RISE ( Excellence ).

This weekend, our students had the opportunity to visit the incredible city of Milan in Italy. They enjoyed touring the city, they visited a theme park and they enjoyed lots of amazing Italian food!

Lots of our Boarding students grasped the opportunity to visit the incredibly fun Luna Park in Lausanne this afternoon. Perfect weather for a few rides!!

The National Honor Society hosted the International Day at CDL filled with stands from several countries and important charity initiatives. Some of our boys participated and shared some of their unique cultural diversities. Take a look at some of these fun moments:

This weekend started on Thursday and our boys had several activities to choose from and enjoy before final exams start. Great highlight was our trip to Vienna in which our Boarders had the opportunity to discover several Museums and Monuments in the heart of this Musical City. Have a look at these great moments:

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.
