We had an amazing End of Year Party to celebrate the final week of the school year. It was a warm day and we focused a lot on water activities and enjoying the pool!

As the final exams roll in, the atmosphere in House Olympus has been buzzing with late-night study sessions, group discussions, and the clack of keyboards in every corner. It’s that intense but rewarding time of year when everyone is putting their hard work to the test—literally.

We’re proud of how focused and determined our Olympians have been! Whether you’re wrapping up IB exams, catching up on final projects, or revising for that one subject that always keeps you guessing—remember, you’re not alone in this.

Here are a few tips to keep your mind clear and your stress in check:

🧘‍♀️ Take Mindful Breaks
Studying for hours on end can feel productive, but your brain needs rest too. Try the Pomodoro technique: 25 minutes of focused work, followed by a 5-minute break. After four sessions, take a longer 20–30-minute break. Use that time to stretch, go for a quick walk, or just breathe.

🥗 Fuel Your Brain
Late-night snacks are part of the experience, but try to balance them with brain-boosting foods—nuts, fruits, whole grains, and plenty of water. Hydration helps with focus more than we realize!

🛏️ Sleep Is Not Optional
All-nighters might sound heroic, but they don’t help retention. Even a short nap can improve memory and performance. Aim for 7–8 hours if you can—it makes a real difference.

🎧 De-Stress Your Way
Everyone relaxes differently. For some, it’s music and journaling; for others, it’s a quick gym session or a walk by the lake. Don’t feel guilty for taking a break to recharge.

👫 Lean on Your Olympus Family
You’re surrounded by peers who understand exactly what you’re going through. Reach out, study together, or just talk it out over dinner. We’re stronger together.

Let’s finish strong, House Olympus! You’ve got this—and we’re cheering you on every step of the way. 🎓🔥

“Exams don’t define you, but how you face them can show just how resilient you really are.”

💙 With pride,
The House Olympus Team

Today, our Middle School boarders set off on an unforgettable adventure: the Léman Journey. After weeks of preparation, they were more than ready for this three-day cycling challenge around Lake Geneva.

Along the way, they’ll build resilience, connect with students from other houses, and explore some of Switzerland’s most beautiful spots. An impressive 180km endurance that will truly make memories for them.

This week, Collège du Léman is celebrating the spirit—and the flavors—of the United States with a special International Dinner dedicated to all things American!

From classic burgers and mac & cheese to sweet treats like brownies and apple pie, our dining hall is transformed into a delicious tribute to the USA. It’s more than just food—it’s a chance for our international community to come together, share stories, and experience a taste of American culture.

We’re proud to celebrate diversity through cuisine, and this dinner is another reminder of how food brings us all closer.

Bon appétit and happy USA night! 🇺🇸✨

We had our Annual – Riders vs Runners Race in which two teams battled it out. One on wheels around Lake Geneva, and the other on foot, doing a matched km run! It wrapped up with a decisive win for the riders. Tackling a demanding course of mixed terrain, both teams gave it everything—speed, strategy, and pure determination. While the runners impressed with their resilience and steady pace, the riders pulled ahead on the hills and straights, crossing the finish line with time to spare. It was a thrilling contest that’s sure to fuel more debate over who really owns the road.

Last night, our community was transported to the vibrant heart of Southeast Asia for an unforgettable Thailand-themed International Dinner Night! From mouthwatering dishes to fascinating cultural facts, it was a full sensory experience that brought the spirit of Thailand to life.

The evening was more than just food—it was a celebration of culture, connection, and curiosity. A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring this magical night to life. We can’t wait to travel to another part of the world at our next International Dinner!

This afternoon, Tuesday 27th May, our CDL boarders proudly represented the school in a friendly football match against the British School of Geneva. Played under perfect sunny skies on our brand-new artificial turf pitch behind Olympus, the 7-a-side match brought great energy and excitement.

Olympus was strongly represented by Nicolas, Edison, Jamil, and Evan – all showing fantastic effort and determination. After trailing 1:4 at halftime, the team made an incredible comeback, capped off by a game-winning goal in added time by Nicolas (see below), sealing a thrilling 5:4 win for the Panthers. Well done to all involved – we’re proud of you!

This week, our students brought their A-game to the Inter-House International Week Quiz, and what an evening it was! Full of energy, brainpower, and spirited teamwork, the quiz challenged students across two exciting rounds themed entirely around internationalism — a perfect fit for International Week here at Collège du Léman.

From cultural trivia to global history, each house battled it out for the top spot, showing off their knowledge and unity. It was incredible to see everyone so engaged and having fun while celebrating the diverse world we’re all a part of.

A huge congratulations to Franconis, who took first place with a combined score of 46,367 points! They were closely followed by Léman Team and Concha, who also gave stellar performances.

📸 Check out some great moments from the evening in the photos below.

Thanks to all who participated and helped make this event a success. The house spirit was alive and well — we can’t wait to see what the next competition brings!
