While Ashley, Vlady, Adela and Lily were making some very tasty raspberry soufflรฉ crรชpes in Eiger cafeteria and Ella and Sofiia were engaging in their weekly habit of decontracting stress accumulated in the stretching and relaxation activity, last weekend Ana Cristina and Gergana they were very enthusiastic to join pilates.
Getting out of one’s own daily routine is very important for mental and physical health and Hanna has found a great relaxation habit: going out with a sweet dog called Dixie four/five times per week.
Indeed spending time with animals not only is incredibly therapeutic but it also helps to reduce stress and facilitate social interaction.
Since the beginning of the school, we have done our best for creating an uplifting and motivational atmosphere inside the House and among the girls by sending them self-reflection good morning and good night messages in different languages as well as with “take a smile” and “take a hug” post-it which can brighten students’ days.
Positive and inspirational House decorations in English and French are the news of 2024!
If these initiatives piqued your curiosity, you will find all the details below ๐

Dear Maria Fernanda, we are so happy in how quickly you are getting familiar with the House and your flatmates. Welcome to New Portena ๐ฅณ๐
Most of the girls are back and New Portena House has come to life again:
the corridors echo with laughters and the common rooms fill with stories from many experiences. It is like all the missing puzzle pieces are going to be back in place. The whole New Portena House puzzle will be finally complete next week when all the girls will be back.
Welcome back! We are so happy to have you here again ๐ฅฐ๐
Yesterday evening we organized a Boarding House Christmas Party including Secret Santa gifts exchange ๐: indeed during the last weeks New Portena girls made a list of the gift they wished to receive and yesterday they got them. This has been a wonderful way to strengthen their bonds.

Happy holidays girls, we wish all of you to spend wonderful moments during this break and get from New Year everything you desire! ๐
During the last week New Portena girls and House Parents have been preparing personalised cards for wishing Merry Christmas and showing affection to the people in the House.ย
All of us are looking forward to opening the Christmas letter box and enjoying this heartwarming moment ๐
