We are delighted to welcome everyone back from the February break, refreshed and ready for the new term ahead! It’s wonderful to see the house buzzing with energy once again.

Over the break, some of our girls embarked on an unforgettable school trip to Iceland, where they explored stunning landscapes, from breathtaking waterfalls to majestic glaciers and geysers. Others embraced the beauty of the Swiss Alps, enjoying the crisp mountain air and exhilarating slopes of Crans-Montana. Whether traveling far or staying closer to home, we hope everyone had a fantastic time recharging and making wonderful memories.

As we settle back into our routines, let’s carry the spirit of adventure and relaxation into the weeks ahead. Wishing you all a successful and fulfilling term!

In the first week of school the girls have not only been busy with lessons but they have also had a lot of activities where they have been able to bond with their new classmates or just have fun with their friends from other years, who have missed each other a lot during the summer.

This Thursday we also had the welcoming assembly for both new and old boarding students and the new staff and after that the international Swiss dinner took place, where to find delicious Swiss food! 🧀🍫

We are happy to introduce to you the Portena Team:

Cristina Ferri, Perrine Manoury, Maral Daqiqui, Tania Chaveinte, Iola Thakur and Ana Vicente
