This weekend was the perfect blend of action and relaxation.

Here are a few standout moments that made it extra special:

Golf, tennis, football, and horse riding were among the top choices for our lads, making for a vibrant mix of sport, camaraderie, and unforgettable memories.

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.

This Wednesday, after our House Meeting, the 60 boarders of Louis Degallier enjoyed a lively and memorable Game Night together, filled with laughter and energy. The evening’s highlight was a spirited round of Mimes, where everyone showed fantastic teamwork, creativity, and enthusiasm, making it a fun and inclusive activity for all. The competition was close, but in the end, the winners were Mario, Nikita, and Hoodad. It was a wonderful night that brought the house even closer, leaving everyone in high spirits.

Alongside these enjoyable activities, the boarders also dedicated time to their academic responsibilities. With upcoming exams before the October break, many made the most of quiet study sessions, showing commitment and discipline in balancing work with leisure. The weekend was not only refreshing and enjoyable but also productive, leaving students motivated and well-prepared for the days ahead.

The Louis Degallier Boarders took part in a meaningful discussion on Respect, sharing what it means to them and linking it to values like kindness, empathy, honesty, and responsibility. Together, they highlighted the importance of respect in building trust and strengthening their boarding and wider community.

This evening, the Louis Degallier 60 villa hosted a lively and enjoyable House Meeting that brought the boarders together in a spirit of fun and community. The highlight of the evening was a spirited game of Guess Who?, which sparked plenty of laughter and friendly competition. After several entertaining rounds, Nicolas emerged as the well-deserved winner.

Following the game, the group shifted into a more practical mode as important reminders and updates for the coming weeks were shared. This balance of play and planning made for a well-rounded meeting that both strengthened camaraderie among the boarders and ensured everyone was well-informed.

This past weekend, our Louis Degallier Boarders enjoyed a lively and memorable time filled with a variety of exciting activities. Some of our students embraced the outdoors with horse riding, while others tested their skills on the golf course. Both activities offered a perfect mix of challenge and enjoyment, giving everyone the chance to relax, have fun, and share laughs with friends in a beautiful setting. The weekend was full of energy, connection, and opportunities to try something new.

Meanwhile, a group of boarders had the thrilling opportunity to visit Europa Park, where the day was packed with adventure and fun. From the adrenaline rush of the rollercoasters to the lively atmosphere of the park, students created unforgettable memories together.
