Today is Valentine’s day or how we prefer to call it: Galentine’s day
A day to celebrate friendships with your friends. It’s Valentine’s Day with your ‘gals’.
We wrote some cute personal messages to each other, ate tasty strawberries with chocolate and watched a romantic movie.
A perfect way to pass this day 🥰
We love you girls! Each one of you is so unique and amazing ❤️
The Sun is out and so are our girls! This weekend we could enjoy our beautiful garden and work on that tan ☀️
We are craving and looking forward to warmer days so we can do a barbecue! 🍖♨️🔥
and enjoy all other things that Spring and Summer have to offer in Switzerland!
On Saturday, Parisa, Regina, Sakura and Beatriz went to the cooking class. They made delicious soft cookies. I am pretty sure the necessary dose of chocolate made them even better! 😀
They could not wait till they were back home to devour them.

Dasha enjoying our gym facilities – She is a real goalsetter and goes every day! 💪
After a delicious Japanese dinner, our girls were ready to battle for the House competition QUIZ NIGHT
They had to answer 20 questions about Switzerland 🧀
We ended with a score of 75%
Well done!!
This evening, we enjoyed a lovely meal in our cosy Louis Degallier living room. Prepared by our wonderful chefs at Collège du Léman, we were spoilt with a delicious Thai meal including Sweet & Sour Beef Wok, Thai Noodles, Thai Salad and an exotic Mousse for dessert. Most of the girls went back for seconds, especially for the tasty beef dish! 🤩🍜
It’s always lovely eating in the comfort of our home, sitting around one table together where we can share stories from the week – an added bonus is that the girls can wear comfy slippers to dinner! ❣ 
Today during our weekly housemeeting, Kate and Kseniia were in charge to lead it.
Together with the other girls from the house, they decided what activities we would still like to do this year with all of us.
When we do our meetings, we always try to have a tasty snack.
Polina and I decided to make crêpes.
As you can see, the girls loved them (with the necessary dose of Nutella, ofcourse!🍫)
We can honestly say they were incrêpable 😋
Enjoy them with us!
It was a very quiet weekend on campus.
Some students chose to go to the mountains with boarding, while others enjoyed a relaxing weekend on campus or away with their families.
For our house, this was the perfect opportunity to get ready for Valentine’s day 🌹
We hung our decorations and made little envelopes so the girls can send friendship messages to each other 📩
Let’s spread some love, good vibes and positive energy!
When you ask our students the question: What makes boarding so great?
They will answer confidently and with a smile that goes from ear to ear 😄: The international community!
In our house only, we have already ! 8 ! different nationalities.
Can you guess what country is each flag from? 👍
Collège du Léman Mountain Weekend 🌞🎿
This weekend, we went on our first snow trip to the mountains and had an amazing time! 🙌🌞🎿
On Friday afternoon, we set off on a beautiful drive from Versoix, passing some lovely views overlooking Lac Léman where the sun started to set. We then continued through the Rhone valley and then finally onto our destination, Fiesch.
Views of Lac Léman
We were very lucky to have sunshine and blue skies on both days, and even luckier to have fresh powder on the slopes, ideal conditions for the perfect skiing & snowboarding experience! 🎿🌞🏂

Our girls definitely enjoyed their first skiing experience of 2023, even if they were a bit cold!
Whilst some of our students were enjoying the snow up in the mountains, others were able to relax in the thermal baths in Brigg and explore the local town of Fiesch. A very Swiss experience indeed!
Views of Fiesch
The evenings were spent enjoying food in the resort restaurant or indulging in some typically Swiss food in the local restaurants. After dinner, all students had the option of playing Bingo, board games or a game of Bowling, however, it was clear that our skiers needed some well earned rest so instead spent the evening relaxing and preparing for the next day on the slopes!
Views from the top of the mountains
Plenty of fresh snow waiting for us!
All in all, we had a lovely weekend where plenty of beautiful memories were made. We are already looking forward to returning soon, fingers crossed we get spoilt with the same sunshine and snowfall! 🌞
