USA dinner at home 🍔🍟
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!📚
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! 🧗♀️🏇🤸♂️
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.

Tanzania Trip & Welcoming the girls!
During the October break, a group of our brave girls from Portena embarked on an exciting journey to Tanzania, and we can’t wait to share all the amazing experiences they had.
From the moment they landed, they knew it was going to be a magical experience. The girls immersed themselves in nature and explored the beauty of wildlife on an unforgettable safari. They saw lions 🦁, giraffes 🦒, and elephants 🐘 in their natural habitat—an experience they will never forget! Of course, they couldn’t miss out on the crystal-clear waters of Tanzania’s beaches. The girls swam and played in the ocean, creating memories that they will cherish forever.
Now, with hearts full of memories and adventures, and after having some two good weeks to rest, the girls are starting to arrive to CDL, so it’s time to return to the school routine. The next two months will be intense, with plenty of studying and preparing for Christmas, but we are sure they will be unforgettable!
With love,
Portena Team 💗
