Miss Maria made us not one, but two cakes for today’s “quatre heures” 😉 Our girls loved them!

… with the sound of music 🎶

Yesterday the Photography students did a very special workshop in which they captured a lot of beauty. We want to share these moments with you 🙂

Basketball is about team work, strategy and fun. Our girls challenged Villa du Lac once again and demonstrated an amazing skillset and willingless to play as a team. We are very proud of our girls for playing tonight and even more for playing with a smile. Next time we will go for the win 😉

Today is the start of the October break! Our girls are real travelers, and while many of them are returning to their home countries, others have decided to explore new places like Paris, Lisbon or even Switzerland. It has been a great start to the school year and we hope everyone comes back with lots of energy and new stories to tell.

On behalf of the Old Portena team, we wish everyone a great holiday and see you very soon!

Healthy eating is one of our main points of focus for this year, but eating healthy doesn’t mean not enjoying what we eat. Today Miss Cristina made us a delicious apple cake with cinnamon and dates. Dates are an amazing natural sweetener, full of nutrients and good energy 🙂 The girls definitely approved!

Wednesdays mean assembly, and today we were able to see some beautiful perfomances and learn about the importance of manners and nurturing healthy minds and bodies.

Finally all our girls arrived! Yesterday night Sally joined Old Portena. We hope she will feel at home in no time and start to make some memories 🙂

We don’t need to do great things in order to improve our wellbeing, sometimes the simple things like a walk or making healthier snack choices can have a big impact! Some of our girls stayed closer to school and tried this at the local supermarket. They were all encouraged to make at least one healthy choice in their weekly shopping and these are some of the results.

As every Saturday, our girls today enjoyed a shopping afternoon in Geneva, the perfect way to relax and disconnect after a long week in school 😁 Today they took advantage to enjoy the delights of French and Japanese cuisine, and even did some shopping to cook at home!
