Today, we had our first house meeting after the April break, and it was a great opportunity to reconnect and catch up on what’s ahead. We started by going over some exciting updates and upcoming news for the house. Everyone was encouraged to stay engaged and involved, especially with some fresh activities and events planned for the coming weeks. One of the highlights was the announcement of a new fitness challenge that will be launched soon. It’s designed to boost both physical and mental health, and everyone is encouraged to participate and support each other through it.

We also had an important discussion about alcohol and drug use, focusing on how these substances can affect the brain. The conversation was open and honest, with a focus on education and awareness rather than judgment. We talked about how substance use, especially at a young age, can interfere with brain development, decision-making, and long-term mental health. It was a valuable reminder of the importance of making informed choices and supporting one another in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Dear families,

After two refreshing weeks of spring break, we’re excited to be back! The girls have returned full of energy, ready to make the most of these last two months before the summer holidays.

The break was a wonderful time to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with loved ones. Now, with renewed motivation, we’re looking forward to a term full of learning, growth, and fun.

Let’s work together to make this final stretch a great success! Thank you, as always, for your support, we can’t wait to see everything the girls will accomplish before summer arrives! ☀️

With love,

Portena team 🩵

As we head into the Easter holidays, we want to wish all our boarders and families a joyful and restful break. This is the perfect time to recharge, spend time with loved ones, and make the most of the last vacation before the end of the school year.

Enjoy every moment and don’t forget to come back full of energy and motivation for the final stretch! Just two months to go—let’s finish strong!

Happy holidays!

Best,

Portena team  💗

Today we celebrate Hannah’s 18th birthday, and we couldn’t be happier to share this moment with her and see the smile on her face. Having her at Portena is truly a privilege, and her presence in the house fills us with joy and affection!

We’re excited for what this new chapter of her life holds, and we have complete confidence that she will continue to shine just as she has until now. While it makes us sad to think about her leaving the school, we know she has a bright future ahead, and we’re sure she will make the most of all her potential.

We love you so much, Hannah. We hope you’ve enjoyed your day to the fullest, and that this is just the beginning of a year full of success and happiness! We will always be so proud of you 💖

With love,

Portena team 🥰

We had our last dinner at home before the holidays, and this time, we had kebab. It was such a hit! The girls loved it so much that some even went back for seconds. Honestly, it was the perfect way to wrap up the school year.

Now, we’re all looking forward to the vacation, but we are already excited for the next dinner when everyone gets back. Can’t wait to see what we’ll have next time!

Best,

Portena team ❤️
