On Saturday morning, Duda took on the challenge of wake boarding on the stunning Lac Lèman 🏄‍♀️

Duda does a lot of surfing back home in Brazil, and is a very natural sportswoman so of course she made wake boarding look very easy indeed! On just her second go, she was standing up on the board! The instructor was very impressed with her ability and Duda absolutely loved it 🩷🙏

After her last attempt a few weeks ago, Heloisa was back in the kitchen making sushi again, this time – big maki rolls with a spicy sauce to accompany it 🍱

Heloisa also made the most of the beautiful weather by painting outside on the terrace. A very talented artist indeed 🎨✨

Lucy spent most of the week in Paris with her fellow IB students. An amazing school trip where they got to visit the famous landmarks, not only by foot, but by bike and boat! 🚲🛥️

The class also learnt how to do graffiti, and were given an allocated space to make their mark – Lucy and her friends did the ‘S’ in Paris! 🎨

Unsurprisingly, Lucy fell in love with this beautiful city and can’t wait to return🗼🥐

We were very happy to have her back in the house though, especially as she baked some delicious white chocolate & cranberry cookies – we decided the best way to enjoy them was fresh out of the oven with a glass of milk. Perfect 🩷

During this week’s house meeting, we focused on empathy—what it means, the challenges it presents, and why it matters. The Advocates Team guided us through a video that explores the concept of empathy and highlights key insights. Click HERE  to watch the video.

The main objective is to help students develop a deeper understanding of how empathy is formed and why it plays a crucial role in making safe and responsible choices.

Tonight, we held our penultimate Boarding Assembly, led by Mr. Usher, our Boarding Director.
As always, a variety of important topics were covered to keep our students informed and prepared.

We were especially proud to celebrate one of our legendary students, Taissia, who marked the end of her remarkable six-year journey at Collège du Léman with an inspiring presentation about her home country, Russia.

Thank you, Taissia, for allowing us to witness your growth into a confident, poised young woman, now ready to embark on your next adventure at university. We hope you carry with you the cherished memories of your time here.

With heartfelt wishes,

Your Swiss boarding family

We hope you have an incredible day celebrating with your friends. May this special milestone be filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories. May God bless you always—we love you dearly!

Another lovely dinner at the house tonight ,this time, we’re off to Italy! We enjoyed delicious lasagna, fresh salad, and creamy tiramisu. A big thank you to our amazing boarding managers for taking us on a culinary journey around the world each month,  no passport needed!

This evening, the boarders of Louis Degallier House came together for a memorable Italian dinner under the warm glow of the setting sun. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, conversation, and the unmistakable aroma of baked lasagna, the highlight of the evening’s menu. The meal  offered not just delicious food but also a chance to unwind and connect. It was a perfect blend of good company, great cuisine, and golden evening light—an experience that truly captured the spirit of shared living.

The boarders of Louis Degallier enjoyed a relaxing yet invigorating weekend that struck the perfect balance between activity and rest. With exams on the horizon, students took full advantage of the chance to recharge both body and mind. Some of our boarders participated in Climbing or Fitness sessions, which not only provided a welcome physical challenge but also helped clear their heads and reduce stress. The positive energy and camaraderie during these activities set a motivating tone for the days ahead.

Alongside the physical pursuits, there was plenty of time for focused study and quiet reflection. Boarders used the calm atmosphere to prepare for their upcoming exams. Evenings were peaceful, offering moments of relaxation and social connection. As the new week begins, the Louis Degallier community feels refreshed, grounded, and ready to take on the academic challenges to come.

We hope you have an incredible day celebrating with your family and friends. May this special milestone be filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

May God bless you always—we love you dearly!

  The progress on their Reach Hours is ongoing, and we will continue to monitor their achievements. Well done, girls!
