This weekend, the girls at Portena enjoyed a well-deserved break from their busy week of studies by engaging in a variety of fun and refreshing activities. From cooking up delicious meals together to playing badminton, participating in the running club, they stayed active while having a great time.

These activities are not just about having fun—they offer the perfect way to unwind and clear their minds after a week of hard work. Now, with their energy renewed and spirits high, they’re ready to tackle the upcoming week with recharged batteries! 💪🏻🔋

Dear parents,

We want to share with you how happy and comfortable your daughters are at home. They have adapted wonderfully, and it’s a pleasure to see them so content and at ease in this environment. It brings us joy to watch them enjoy their time, whether participating in activities, playing, or simply relaxing.

It’s clear that they feel safe and loved, which contributes to their well-being and development. We appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us, and we are here to continue supporting them in whatever they need.

Please look at this pictures below.

Yesterday in Portena we had the celebration of Ashley’s birthday. The girls came downstairs to surprise her and to be part of this special day.

Lights went out and we all started singing “Happy Birthday” to this wonderful student.

Ashley made a wish when blowing the candles, we hope her wish comes true!😁🎂

Once a month we will be hosting a dinner in Portena. This time we got Italian food: lasagna and tiramisu.

The girls enjoyed a lot this dinner because we were all together and it was a nice opportunity to talk to each other for a long time.

We are looking forward for the next one!!😁

Last night all the girls were reunited for our weekly meeting in the house. We talked about many important things concerning organization and rules.

After the meeting, it was time for baking. Ms.Fana and Ms.Lauriane were in charge of the baking part but we all tried a piece of the amazing marble cake. Love was the most important ingredient of the recipe.

Yesterday some teachers of CDL came to see our house. We had a lovely time all together. Teachers, students and House Parents having some snacks, chatting and chilling.

They got to see where their students do their lifes after school. They were very happy with Portena house and the beautiful rooms they have.

Here some pictures of yesterday afternoon.

This weekend, the girls enjoyed an incredible Mountain Weekend in Leysin and Verbier, filled with outdoor adventures and nature.

From mountain biking 🚵🏼‍♀️ and all-day hikes🏃🏼‍♀️ to rock climbing 🧗🏻‍♀️, orienteering 🧭 and much more, so they fully immersed themselves in the stunning landscapes.

It was not only a chance to reconnect with nature but also an opportunity to strengthen their bonds with each other, meet new students, and get to know more some of the staff.

A truly memorable weekend full of excitement, discovery, and friendship! 🤩
