Today is Raquel’s birthday, and we couldn’t be happier to celebrate her!
We love her dearly, and her presence always brightens our day. After so many years with her in Boarding, it’s hard to believe she’s turning 18 and graduating this year! We wish her all the best and know she’ll exceed all expectations in everything she sets her mind to.
We love you so much, Raquel! 💖
Best,
Portena team
This weekend, the girls at Portena had a super fun time with loads of activities like Horse Riding, Cooking, Pilates, Climbing, Running and Stretching. It was the perfect mix of fun and energy-boosting activities that gave them a chance to unplug and have a great time.
Since it’s the last weekend before the holidays, they made sure to take full advantage of it! What a way to wrap up the weekend before heading into some well-deserved time off!
Lots of love,
Portena team 🩷
Tonight, we enjoyed a Mexican dinner at home, and it was a hit! We had tacos with ground beef, cheese, guacamole, and rice. The girls absolutely loved it—some even went back for seconds! It’s always great to see them enjoying the food.
These family dinners are such a special time for us to come together, relax, and have fun. It’s not just about the food, but about being together and making memories. We’re already looking forward to the next one! There’s nothing better than good food and great company.
With love,
Portena team 💚🤍❤️
Yesterday, we celebrated Mariana’s 17th birthday, which actually took place on Sunday. Since we couldn’t celebrate with her on the day, we surprised her with a cake and some of her friends from Portena. It was such a joy to have the chance to celebrate her and make the day special!
We are so grateful to have Mariana with us in the house—not just for how kind and respectful she is, but also for the dedication she brings to every activity. Her positive energy and effort truly make a difference in everything she does. We look forward to many more years together! 🎉
With love,

This weekend, with fewer girls around due to the ski weekend, the Portena staff decided to tackle a 1000-piece puzzle!
Thankfully, some girls came to join in (because we needed a LOT of help 😂), but it was Layla, one of our Grade 8 girls, who truly took the lead. Along with Miss Ana, we stayed up late on Saturday night, determined to finish the puzzle.
In the end, we managed to complete it in just two days! It was a fun challenge, but next time we’re thinking of stepping it up with an even harder puzzle 😎. Stay tuned for our next adventure!
With lots of love,
Portena team
Last night, we had our first dinner at home for the second semester, and it was all about French food! We enjoyed some tasty Croque Monsieur, crispy potato fries, and finished it off with a yummy Éclair for dessert.
These dinners are always a great way to hang out and get to know each other more. Can’t wait for the next one! 🥰
With love,
Portena team
The first semester of the school year has come to a successful close! It has been an exciting and productive time for all, and we are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication shown by each of our boarders at Portena.
With the holiday season upon us, we wish all the girls a joyful and restful break. Enjoy this special time with your family and friends, recharging for the exciting challenges and opportunities that await us in the new year.
We look forward to seeing you all in the upcoming semester, filled with renewed energy, enthusiasm, and determination to achieve even more!
Happy Holidays and see you in 2025!
Lots of love,

This past weekend, the Hilton Hotel hosted an unforgettable Winter Ball to celebrate the end of the first semester. The girls from Portena spent all of Saturday getting ready for the big event, and as you can see in the photos, they looked absolutely radiant.
The night was filled with delicious food, dancing, and endless fun. The girls had an amazing time, enjoying every moment to the fullest. It was the perfect way to say goodbye to the first semester—there truly couldn’t have been a better send-off! 🤩
Lots of love,
Portena Team ❤️
We’re beyond excited to announce that Portena has won the Gingerbread House Competition! This victory wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of Mariana, Maria Fernanda, Ami, and Esther, who worked late into the night, putting in countless hours to finish and perfect every detail of our house, their hard work truly made the difference.
We’re so happy to have won so far both House Competitions, and we couldn’t be prouder of our amazing team. Here’s to more wins and great teamwork ahead!
Best wishes,
