Happy Birthday to Tomohisa, who turned 19 years old.

We wish him good health and happiness.

Uh-oh

Our very own Hector took part in the Schools Basketball Tournament!

3rd place for CDL!

Alan, Ablai and Shintaro spent a beautiful morning at the Geneva Golf Academy in Collex-Bossy to fire off a few rounds on the driving range.

Today, Ablai, along with some of our other students, went for a brisk 4km run in the morning sun with Mr. Roger from Leman 2.

Absolute winners!

On this day in the year 2022, we celebrated the birth of our dear Alan!

To his health, wealth and happiness!

A healthy bite, helped by his roommate Ilian

Look at that happy smile!

Yesterday, Shintaro participated in the SGIS golf Tournament in the sunny mountains of Aigle, just up the road from Montreux.

Congratulations to Carlos, Timur, Amirhossein and Alan for putting in a stellar performance during their first Boarding Football Match yesterday evening. Through hard work and innate skill, the boys managed to win the game 5-2. Well done lads.

Happy Spring break to all our families, agents and students!

We hope all our students have a fantastic break with their family and friends.

The Boarding House reopens on Friday 22nd April at 4pm. We look forward to seeing everyone after the break. We hope they all return fully refreshed and ready to work for the remainder of the school year.

Saturday morning, Junqi, Amirhossein and Henry went to Cooking club and made some lovely giant profiteroles.

Big anticipatory smiles.

MAXIMUM CONCENTRATION

Well now, would you look at that…

Three of our boys spent some time today picking up litter along the canal path that runs behind CDL.

Karim geared up with THE CLAW and Rapha equipped with quite the disapproving look.

Rapha, THE CLAW and Dias.

Good work boys.

Saturday morning, we broke out the griddle and made ourselves some pancakes, with blueberries and white chocolate toppings.

The look when it’s taking too long…and when he finds out that sharing is caring.

The pancake aroma wafted out our windows and caught the attention of Aryan, one of the Concha boys.

More denizens of CDL called to Leman 1 by the aroma. Mr. Jakob from Olympus and Rakaan from Leman 2 joined us in our feast of the cakes of pan.

If there’s anything that 5 people (including myself) of varying ages and backgrounds can agree on, it’s that pancakes are delicious.

Our resident prefect Iman spent Saturday morning brushing up on his tennis skills alongside his fellow Persian Aryan.

Aryan, that’s not a tennis ball…

Tonight, in the second match of the new season of the Boarding Football Cup, Leman 1 went up against the staff team, Leman Old Glories.

The Leman Old Glories, ready to go

Peak behind the curtain, this is how history is made.

In an intense match, made more interesting by the pouring rain, Leman 1 came out on top and won 5-3!

Both teams, post game, enjoying the rain

We are very proud of the boys and are looking forward to the rematch!

The Talent Show returned with a bang yesterday evening!! There were incredible performances from all the Boarding Houses. We are so proud of the boys for getting on the stage and putting in an incredible musical performance. Well done boys!!

Results pending……………………

This weekend, Léman 1’s very own Shintaro spent the weekend with a group of Boarding students seeing the sights of the incredible Spanish city of Barcelona. This trip is the latest weekend trip of our exciting trips programme. Next stop: Greece and Cyprus during the Easter Holidays.

The weekend got off to a perfect start this morning. Not only is the sun shining bright, we had a host of incredible activities available to our students.

The Léman 1 boys chose cooking, tennis, badminton, running and horse riding.

Tonight one of our resident thespians, Baudelio performed a play named ‘Check Please!’ with his theatre class.

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.

Mark and Karim enjoying the show. Is that the moon or just convenient over head lighting?

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!

Ablai, warmed and blinded by the giant flaming orb in the sky.

Morning Warriors

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