A brief weekend getaway to Lucerne 🀩

This weekend, the girls from Portena had an unforgettable experience in Lucerne. It was the perfect opportunity to disconnect from school and enjoy some well-deserved downtime!

The weekend was filled with stunning views and exciting activities. One of the highlights was taking the cable car up to the top of Mount Pilatus ⛰️, where they were treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the city and surrounding lakes. The girls also explored local museums, soaking up culture and history.

Overall, the girls had an amazing time on their trip to Lucerne. It was a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and exploration. They returned to school feeling refreshed, with new memories and experiences to cherish. It was a weekend well spent, and everyone agrees it was an unforgettable getaway!

With love,

USA dinner at home πŸ”πŸŸ

Last night, the girls at Portena had a cozy USA-themed dinner at home, and it was a blast! We enjoyed a night of great food and even better company.

It’s always fun to share a meal and get to know each other better. We laughed, chatted, and made memories that we’ll cherish. Can’t wait for the next one! Here’s to more fun nights ahead!

With love,

Meri and Radi’s Bulgarian Presentation

Our monthly assembly is a time when all students and staff come together in the same room to learn about what’s coming up in the next few weeks. Students also participate in the assembly in various ways.

Today, it was Radi’s and Meri’s turn to give a presentation about their country, where they talked about their culture and traditions. Their presentation was amazing, and everyone was captivated by the interesting details and engaging way they shared their heritage. Please see some pictures below.

 

 

Reading time!πŸ“š

At Portena, all eighth graders come together to read twice a week!

During these sessions, students can choose their own books. This freedom makes reading enjoyable and encourages exploration of different genres.

This reading habit not only improves literacy skills but also creates lasting connections among students. We’re excited to see the positive impact on our Portena community! Happy reading!

A Weekend of Adventure at Portena! πŸ§—β€β™€οΈπŸ‡πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈ

Dear All,

During the first weekend following the October break, our girls had the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities, including rock climbing, horse riding, and stretching. In their leisure time, some chose to explore the city of Geneva, while others preferred to remain at home to relax, complete their homework, and prepare for the upcoming week. It has been a busy and enjoyable weekend for everyone involved.

As we conclude this weekend’s activities, I would like to extend my thanks to all parents for your continued support and encouragement. We appreciate your involvement in our community and the positive impact it has on our girls. Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead filled with joy and success.

Best regards,

Portena team.
