The House of Olympus is excited to bring a taste of Russian culture to our community. Whether you’re familiar with Russian cuisine or trying it for the first time, it’s sure to be an experience worth savouring.

Paintball Adventure! 🎯🔥

Teams: 🔵 Blue | ⚫ Black | 🔴 Red

Yesterday, Olympus set out for an action-packed paintball battle, and what a day it was! The sun was shining, the adrenaline was pumping, and the competitive spirit was at an all-time high as we geared up for an epic showdown between the Blue, Black, and Red teams.

From the moment we arrived, the energy was electric. After suiting up in our protective gear and loading our markers, it was time for battle strategy. Each team huddled together, whispering tactics, setting up ambush plans, and deciding who would charge ahead and who would defend the fort.

Last Team Standing

This round was all about endurance. With paint flying in every direction, teammates had to dodge, dive, and strategize to stay in the game.

At the end of the day, everyone left covered in paint, a little sore, but with huge smiles on their faces.

What’s Next?

Olympus, get ready—because after such a thrilling day, we’ll definitely be planning more action-packed adventures soon! 💪🎯🔥

New Community Service Club Kicks Off with Litter-Picking Initiative

The newly formed Community Service Club at Collège du Léman has officially launched, and its first activity set a fantastic precedent for student engagement and environmental responsibility. Over the weekend, students came together to participate in a litter-picking initiative, making a tangible difference in keeping our campus and local areas clean.

Kiarash and Alican from our house took part in this effort, demonstrating a strong commitment to community involvement. Armed with gloves and trash bags, they joined other volunteers in clearing waste, showing that small actions can have a significant impact.

This is just the beginning for the Community Service Club, which aims to provide students with meaningful opportunities to give back. Whether through environmental projects, charity work, or other initiatives, the club is set to become an integral part of school life.
