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 !!

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.

The Léman boys back to enjoying all the fun weekend activities we have to offer….

The weekend the activities included; chess, tennis, badminton, table tennis, woodcrafting, climbing, running, music and more!!

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.

We happy to announce that the Léman team has now the invaluable support of Mr Julien Fournier. Julien is joining our team and his first main task will be to support all our students with their school work and we are sure it will produce great results.

Julien is a qualified teacher with years of experience in several different countries in Europe and Africa… so he embodies already our spirit of Excellence and Internationalism.

Welcome Julien, to the Léman family

After a lovely February break we are now back in business until the April break.

For some of us, this was an opportunity to go home, see the family and friends and somehow recharge our batteries for the weeks ahead. Others, perhaps the lucky ones :), had the fantastic possibility of spending a whole week in Crans-Montana. The weather was a-ma-zing even if it meant that we didn’t have as much snow as we would have dreamt of. However it was still enough to enjoy the slopes, spend time with friends, relax, do some activities and even witness the Ski World Cup happening right next to us.

Charles focused on his curling skills

Now it’s time to get back on track and prepare for the important weeks ahead. Energies should be high and we can’t wait for the coming weeks to unfold.

Welcome back everyone 🙂

We are now preparing to close Léman Boarding House for the February half term. Well done to all our boys for all they have achieved this half term.  We hope everyone gets a well-deserved rest and return with fully recharged batteries ready to work hard for the send half of this term. We hope everyone has enjoyable breaks and we are already looking forward to seeing everyone in just over a weeks time.

We hope all our students heading to Crans Montana for this year’s Winter Camp have an amazing week in the snow!!

The weekend was sunny, fun and full of activities. The boys were out and about doing all sorts of things, take a look at some of these moments:

The 5km winners !

Today we had the opportunity to watch a fantastic Concert in the Rosey Concert Hall. The program was filled with powerful instruments, soloists and a beautiful Orchestra playing with touching sound landscapes. A night the Leman boys greatly enjoyed!

As a Boarding community, we are aiming to contribute to a local charity project – “Partage” the love!

We are aiming to collect 3000kg of food and other household items to donate to those in need.

A huge thank you to Zihao and Stefan for helping gather donations from the Léman Boarding House
