While most of the girls jetted away for the holidays, Saba, Romina, Alessia, Crystal, Helen and Celine decided to head up to the mountains to enjoy a week of winter fun.
They took part in a week of skiing, snowboarding and curling, to name just a few. A great time was had by all!
This weekend saw the introduction of a new Saturday activity: choir.
Celine, Romina, Helen, Natalina, Olivia and Scarlett all took part and loved it – maybe we have a New Portena girl band in the making!
On Sunday our Grade 9s visited the Red Cross Museum in Geneva and learnt about the work they do across the globe.
With everyone wearing the house hoodie! 
Well done to Margie for talking about her CAS charity project during the boarding assembly! Margie is working on a project for children with intellectual disabilities. We are very proud of her passion and dedication to this project.
