Girls just want to have fun and we certainly did that at the boarding Welcome Dinner, and don’t we scrub up well!
Bring on the year ahead!
The girls have had a great weekend getting a glimpse of the activities they can take part in throughout the school year! This weekend we’ve enjoyed Horse Riding, Tennis and Body Shaping; today Jasmine, Becky and Coraline also headed into Geneva to take part in a treasure hunt around the city while doing some sightseeing along the way.

New Portena are now having a relaxing evening in the house before school starts again tomorrow – the girls are looking forward to starting their new activity programme this week and a chance to visit Chamonix and Mer de Glace on Thursday!
We hope you have all had a wonderful summer break and we are looking forward to filling New Portena with fun and enthusiasm!
Here is the new team eagerly awaiting your arrival!

Congratulations Girls!
Tonight the House celebrated the penultimate weekend of the School year with a BBQ and a water fight. It was a great end to the weekend and a great release to the revision stress.
We even sampled some of the delights from the Eco-Garden. We tried the lettuce, Berries and Peas. They were very yummy, thanks Olly!
Perfect end to a beautiful weekend and School year!
Last weekend Lorena, Ivy and Ayaka went to Budapest. It was a truly fun filled trip with many different cultural visits and exciting tours such as biking and caving. See the video below to see what they got up to.
