This past Wednesday, during our weekly meeting, we introduced an exciting new pillar focused on wellbeing in our boarding house: “Healthy bodies and minds”. Darina, from Portena, and Mana took the lead and recorded a video to share with everyone, explaining why it’s so important to have healthy habits. They gave some awesome nutrition tips that are super easy to follow and can make a big difference in feeling good every day.

We’re excited about this new focus because taking care of our bodies and minds is key to feeling our best. Darina and Mana did an amazing job spreading the message, and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone embrace these healthy habits! Let’s all work together to make wellbeing a priority!

Best,

Portena team!

Today was an exciting day as the U19 private schools football tournament wrapped up the season. We’re so proud to share that our girls, Chihana, Radi and Nerea, took part in this awesome event! Watching them play was a real treat, and we love seeing them dive into activities like this. Sports aren’t just about winning, they’re about having fun, staying active, and learning important lessons like teamwork and determination.

We always encourage our girls to try new things and embrace sports, and it’s moments like these that remind us why. We’re so happy to see them growing stronger, more confident, and making lasting memories. Huge shoutout to Chihana, Radi, Nerea, and all the other girls who played today. You all rocked it, and we couldn’t be prouder!

At the beginning of each week, the Grade 8 girls from Portena dedicate some time to improving their reading comprehension skills. This practice helps them become more effective readers, as they focus on understanding the material at a deeper level. After their reading sessions, they reflect on what they’ve learned and write about their insights.

It’s a great way to start the week and build stronger literacy skills!

Best,

Portena team ❤️
