Our very own Yufei had a blast over the Ascension weekend, joining the school trip to Venice. 🛶

After the arrival at Venice airport, the students strolled through the city and had a tasty pizza dinner. The next day, they explored Doge’s Palace, enjoyed lunch at Hard Rock Cafe, and had free time to take in Venetian sights, including gondola rides. On the third day, the students also visited Murano Island to witness glassmaking, and explored Fenice Theater. They ended this final day with shopping and dinner.

An unforgettable adventure filled with culture, history, and fun! ✨

During these years Bice has become an important community member for everyone around her. As we have celebrated her birthday a few days ago, we wish to take a moment to reflect on all the memories we have shared together: since when she arrived at Collège du Léman until this year when she has joined the National Honor Society.

Once again, Happy Birthday, dear Bice 😘

We are incredibly proud of our students for eagerly diving into new activities and discovering passions they never knew they could have had. Ana Cristina, Pau, and Camila’s excitement after one of their first art club activities is indeed truly heartwarming.

Moreover, witnessing Gergana discovering boxing as a new passion and watching at her eyes shining while saying “I will always go” speaks volume about the importance of trying something new and reminds us the power of stepping outside our comfort zone.

Dear Ingrid,

We want to wish you once again Happy Birthday for yesterday and express to you how much we are proud of you for your hard work and dedication. 🔝 You are such a good and generous person 🥰: thank you for being part of New Portena family 💓.

(You look amazing in this dress)

What an amazing International Day there has been last Friday in Collège du Léman.

Most of the credit goes to students for the excellent organisation and commitment in starting days before to prepare excellent food of their countries: Brazilian brigadeiros, pao de queijo, empadinhas and coxinha; Bulgarian pogacha; Chinese liang mian and much more.

There has also been a lot of fun drawing their countries’ flags and expressions of affection on each other’s faces.

Once again, happy birthday, dear Dari!

The best has to come to you ❤️

During their spring break, Melissa and Paulina embarked on an unforgettable journey to Tanzania and Zanzibar as part of a school trip. Their experiences were filled with meaningful activities and cultural immersion.

In Tanzania, they contributed to community projects, such as helping at a construction site for Dolly Bush Primary School and installing solar panels for local families. They also had thrilling wildlife encounters during a safari, getting up close to elephants, zebras, and more.

Their adventure continued in Zanzibar, where they enjoyed snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, visiting Disappearing Island and the Blue Lagoon, and exploring Stone Town. They also had the opportunity to learn about spice farming and indulge in delicious local cuisine.

As their spring break comes to an end, Melissa and Paulina return home with cherished memories and a deeper appreciation for the diverse cultures and natural wonders of Tanzania and Zanzibar. 🌊🌞 #SpringBreakAdventures #TanzaniaZanzibarExploration

As spring blooms around us, we warmly welcome all the New Portena girls back from their enriching spring break adventures. Some of our girls enjoyed the school trip and explored the wonders of Tanzania and lounged on the pristine beaches of Zanzibar. It’s clear that unforgettable memories were made.

With the last exams on the horizon and university beckoning for some, these final weeks are a blend of anticipation and reflection. With only 10 weeks until summer, let’s savor every moment of this vibrant season together. Here’s to cherishing the remaining days of spring, and of this year’s New Portena Journey. 🌸

As we have reached the beginning of Easter holiday, we want to extend a huge thank you to the girls for all the wonderful moments together.

Now it is time to have a good rest and enjoy a break filled with joy and cherished moments with loved ones.

Happy Easter everyone!

Last Monday Ingrid tried on the astonishing ball gown that she will wear on her birthday. Her beauty along with a so well-decorated dress enchanted everyone: she left us without words 😍
