Escalade Race – Anvar is the fastest Boarding racer
Following the tradition, our Boarders joined the 47th Edition of the Course de l’Escalade.
Under a non-stop rain, among many students, our Anvar achieved the best performance in the Boarding community, by relentlessly running amid the conditions. His efforts during the Saturday’s running club have paid off. Well done Anvar, we are proud of you!
A fresh and tasty new week ahead
Let’s start a new week with a fresh and delicious variety of fruit and some winter decorations.
More to come soon…stay tuned.

The Louis Dégallier crew is back and the house is all set to welcome you again.
We are happy to see you and can’t wait to hear all about your holiday adventures—and hope you’re feeling recharged and ready to kick off the second part of the term!
Last weekend before the October break
This weekend, our Louis Degallier 56 Boarders enjoyed had quite a relaxing schedule. While a few took part in activities, others preferred to spend time with friends by having dinner out on Saturday evening, after a nice stroll in Geneva.
On Sunday, the house was filled with competitiveness while playing video games, and as usual, they aim to be the best in their favourite game.
In addition to leisure events, students committed part of their time to coursework. As exams draw near before the October break, numerous pupils made good use of quiet study slots, balancing academic demands with downtime. The weekend was both renewing and fruitful, helping students feel prepared and motivated for upcoming commitments.
2nd BBQ on Sunday
Today we enjoyed the last BBQ before the end of summer, thanks to our chef Alberto, who cooked delicious food for everyone.
House Competition: 1st Event – Sports Day
After an exhilarating week of Mountain Days and Discovery Week, our boarding students wrapped up their adventures with a burst of energy and team spirit during today’s Sports Day House Competition. The past days have been filled with exploration, bonding, and personal growth, and today’s events perfectly captured the spirit of unity and friendly competition that defines life at Collège du Léman.
Our boys dove into the final challenge with enthusiasm, taking part in a series of fun and dynamic team games that had everyone cheering. From the hilarious coordination of the Three-Legged Race to the precision and skill of the Frisbee Shot, every event brought out the best in our students. The Bucket Fill-Up tested not just physical endurance but also strategy and cooperation, as teams raced against the clock to fill their containers using only sponges and sheer determination.
Throughout the day, the atmosphere was electric – laughter, encouragement, and high-fives were everywhere. It was a perfect way to celebrate the end of a week filled with outdoor exploration and new experiences. More than just a sports competition, the event reminded us of the strength of our boarding community, where each student plays a vital role and shared memories are made every day.
Mountain Weekend in Verbier
This weekend, we had a fantastic experience in Verbier, a renowned and iconic village in the Valais canton. Under a brilliant sun, the students enjoyed a variety of activities, including rock climbing, basketball, a quiz game, and mountain biking. We wrapped up the weekend with a barbecue before heading back to campus to rest and prepare for the upcoming Discovery Days.
