Maryam and Mia make the most of their photography classes, they take wonderful pictures of us and the campus.

Today we celebrate Ashley’s birthday. Ashley brings such a great energy to the house and we are so happy to celebrate her special day together! Here’s to another year around the sun!

This weekend was extra special, as we all went together to the mountains in La Tzoumaz ! A calm ski resort situated 1500m above sea level. Fresh air assured !

The girls had different activities to choose from, some of them went biking down the mountain, others went climbing, others hiked up and some even did some shelters or rope courses in the woods.

The weather was amazing for the occasion and our girls were all so well behaved and nice, we are super proud of them and had a great time. Thank you girls !

and Jeûne Genevois day out in Lausanne…

Today was a beautiful and busy day for our girls ! First, since it’s a bank holiday for Geneva, there was no school, and all the shops of the canton were closed. Not a problem, we took this opportunity to go to Lausanne ! Plan for the day ? Olympic museum and little bit of shopping in the city.

The museum is very modern and interactive, we particularly enjoyed the last part testing our memory skills, reflexes, etc. Vladi and I got 46 at the reflex skill ! None of the girls wanted to race though, I wonder why… 😀

Afterwards, when back in the house, our girl Annie was super kind to bring some mooncakes for all of the house ! A Chinese cake to celebrate the mid-Autumn festival (中秋節). This was a great discovery for a lot of us, and just shows again how amazing it is to live in an international house, celebrations from everywhere ! Thank you Annie for sharing with us.

Our OP girls get 1st place, of course !

Mooncakes with or without nuts !

Today the girls go to know our Wellbeing Program Pillar 1 – with our first takeaway point:

Discover how we can use sport and our hobbies to maintain a healthy mental balance

Most of our girls are ready for the year with the first goals set and an amazing experience ahead.

We are pleased to announce that Jiaxi HE (Annie) will be our House Captain for the 2022/23 academic year! Congratulations, Annie!
