International Dinners at Collège du Léman: Iranian Evening – Happy Nowruz & Welcome Spring!
Tonight, we celebrated Iranian culture with a special international dinner at Collège du Léman. The event honored Nowruz, the Persian New Year, which symbolizes renewal and the arrival of spring. Students enjoyed an exquisitely prepared Iranian feast, immersed themselves in traditional music, and learned about the rich customs associated with this festive occasion.
Adding to the special atmosphere, we were delighted to welcome back a former student, Amirhossein, who kindly helped serve traditional dishes from his country.
What a magnificent evening to welcome spring!

A cosy weekend: baking, relaxing & recharging ✨
There’s something about rainy weekends that makes us want to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the little things in life. Luckily for us, baking home cooked treats is something that our students love doing as part of their weekend relaxation 🥰
Here you can see Lucy making some amazing chocolate chip cookies that she made for the whole house 🍪❤️
The cookies were absolutely delicious, but unfortunately didn’t last long! She made a second batch and delivered some to another boarding house situated around the corner from us. I am sure this kind gesture was very well received 🤗🏠
Thank you, Lucy, for treating us to your culinary skills! 🥰👳♀️
Meanwhile, Jasmine made some healthy protein balls using peanut butter, flax-seeds and oats. A great healthy alternative to cookies 🧆🙏
Despite the rainy weather, the girls still felt motivated to move and enjoyed doing their workouts at the gym. In addition to this, Duda attended a Stretching & Relaxing class this morning – which aimed to improve flexibility and reduce stress 🧘
Over in Belgium, Maria Carolina enjoyed visiting some family members whilst doing the thing she loves the most – horse riding. Not only was she was able to do some impressive showjumping, but she also found the time to immerse herself in nature with these majestic animals. She returned to the boarding house this evening very happy indeed 🐴

Well-being Pillar 4, Healthy Bodies and Minds
As part of our Pastoral Program, we launched Pillar 4 of our Wellbeing Program, titled “Healthy Bodies and Minds,” during our weekly house meeting. This pillar focuses on Nutrition, emphasizing two key takeaways: First: Understanding calories and portion sizes. and Second: Making healthy food choices and staying hydrated.
During the meeting, we also watched a video in which students shared their thoughts on the importance of eating healthily, understanding daily calorie intake and portion sizes, and choosing nutritious meals. The video highlighted the significance of staying hydrated as well. Our House Rep, Jasmine, led this important discussion since she is one of the most passionate and health-conscious members of our house.
