Christmas Gala 2015

Last weekend we had the Christmas Ball at the Kempinski Hotel in Geneve! We had to dress up smart and had a sit down meal in the Hotel. The food was fantastic and we all had a good time! Below are a few photos from the night.

Shoe boxes!

Today, Olympus created two Shoeboxes for the SOA appeal with the school! The two boxes, at a cost of 80CHF between all students in the house, were jam packed full of goodies! Each box contained pencils, pens, notebooks, teddy bears, tennis balls, cards, toiletries, biscuits and dice. All destined for children in CDLS’s partner school in South Africa.

Oscar Gomez – ‘This process was extremely satisfying and allowed us to work collectively as a house for a good cause! The shoeboxes are destined for children a lot less fortunate than us, and allowed us to work as a team to support the SOA project!’

Dance Battle!

Today was the house competition! Olympus participated well, with special thanks to Veniamin for performing an incredible dance routine for the house, beating Louis Degaillier!
