Here we are at the end of another weekend full of activities, but finally with a bit of rest too, which was much needed after the mountain trip and the Discovery Days!😉

On Saturday and Sunday, we had a blast with tennis lessons, French pastry-making, horse riding, pilates, bodyshaping, art, and even some Community Service to take care of our campus and clean up all the trash left behind during the week.

On Sunday afternoon, we had the House Competition Sports Day, each house competed in different games and activities, and in the end… ice cream for everyone! 🍦🍦

This past weekend, our girls had an unforgettable Mountain Weekend filled with adventure, fresh air, and lots of fun! We split into two groups, with our seniors heading to stunning Verbier and our juniors exploring the beautiful mountain village of Leysin.❤️

Both groups enjoyed a full schedule of exciting outdoor activities. From all-day treks⛰ and mountain biking🚵‍♀️ to orienteering and mountain navigation🗺, rock climbing and ziplines🧗‍♀️. Everyone was busy challenging themselves and building great memories with their friends🙌🏼.

The weather was kind☀️, the views were breathtaking🌄 and the energy was high all weekend long. It was a perfect chance for everyone to enjoy nature, work as a team and step out of their comfort zones in the best way possible.

We’re proud of how adventurous and enthusiastic all girls were – and we can’t wait for the next one!🫶

We had a sweet little celebration in the boarding house this Monday for Patricia’s birthday!🎈🪄Lots of smiles and love from the boarding house family❤️ 😍…and of course delicious cake to share🎂.

Here we are at the end of the weekend… a little tired but happy! ☺️
Here are all the things we did over these two days…

Lots of sports: tennis, pilates, body shaping, running… but also an art class to express all our creativity 🌈🌈
And some of us even went to Yvoire, a beautiful village in France, on the opposite shore of the lake!
Lots of sunshine and good company to recharge our batteries and get ready for our second week of school.

That’s all for now. See you folks!

We made it to the end of the first week of school! 🎉

And finally, the weekend begins… in the sweetest way possible! Our amazing girls delighted us with a delicious cinnamon rolls topped with buttercream!😋 There’s no better way to start this weekend! We have lots of activities ahead of us and we need strength and energy!

This morning, the girls are busy with various activities such as banana boating, art class, cooking class, tennis… and in the afternoon, free time in Geneva for shopping and exploring!

Enjoy girls! ❤️

The new school year is here, and Portena Boarding House is buzzing with excitement! 🏡 Our girls have settled in, filled the house with laughter (and just a little bit of unpacking chaos 😉), and we are ready to make this year one to remember.

We’ve already started the term with some great adventures – from exploring the charming village of  Gruyères and visiting the chocolate factory for some sweet treats 🍫 to enjoying sunny weekend mornings out on the lake.

It’s shaping up to be a fantastic year at CDL. Welcome home, girls- let’s make this year amazing! 🌟

Love,

Portena Team

Summer holidays have come to an end and we are so excited to welcome everyone back! Boarding is officially open, and here at Portena we are more than ready to receive all our returning girls. We have also welcomed our new students, and we couldn’t be happier to see their smiles and excitement as they begin this journey 🥰

Last year was wonderful, but we’re hoping this one will be even better. Here’s to another year full of learning, growth, and unforgettable memories together.

With love,
Portena Team 💕

The school year has come to an end, and now it’s time for all our girls to enjoy a well-deserved summer break!

After months of learning, growing, and giving their best, this time off will help them rest, recharge, and get ready for the exciting year ahead.

We also want to send a heartfelt thank you to all the parents – your constant support and involvement have been key throughout the year.

We’re already looking forward to a new school year, full of even more growth, fun, and achievements.

Enjoy your summer, see you very soon! ⛱️

Lots of love,

Portena team! 💖
