Thirty days had September… and that’s all folks ! The last day of the month, once again eventful and another day to remember for our boys, many years to come.
Here are some pictures on the last day of September of this year 2020:
We finally took our group house picture… here a sneak peek before we removed the masks to unveil our smiling faces. Will have to wait for the final picture. Class of 2020 !
Our basketball supersars shone once more — this time against ”Concha Attack” from the house of Concha. Our rivals led a surprising victory. We must say well done to James, Rob and Co .!
Nigel doing what he loves most. Toma and Ilya watching closely; the ball up for grabs !
Wonderful group picture. Vova, Tony, Toma, Nigel, the two Ilyas and Karim. Treasured memory for years to come !
Our shining prefect giving a personal speech about his experience making friends at CDL. Brave and very articulate.
Many a student engaged with Ivan’s segment. He must have been pleased. Foreshadows a great future ahead for him, and his peers. Well done Ivan & Co. !
A group of students visited the Chateau de Chillon near Montreux at Lac Leman. They also had a blast touring this old castle as well as learning lots of interesting facts about the castle.
Iyowuna and Guanchen during the guided visit at the Castle.
Boris having a blast at the rock climbing gym during the weekend. Although he is doing healthy things like cardio. He had a lot of fun climbing up and down the walls of the gym.
Ilya can be seen here playing indoor tennis with some other people in our house like Victor.
Victor is seen here taking a break to pose for the photo. He worked really hard and had a fun time. Although it is indoors (which kept the cold out), they were still able to play some good games of tennis and had fun
Here we can see a chess tournament in mid progress. On the far left it is Hamza watching the game between the 2 competitors. Arsenii wins this game against Rayan moving him further into the tournament. Some really strategic moves were made by him to make him successful in this match.
Vladimir took his SAT exam over the weekend. He studied very hard for this test, which should help him achieve a great result. WELL DONE VLADIMIR!

Alas, the cold has arrived in Geneva, almost overnight. But we have had a wonderful weekend and are staying warm with friends and activities aplenty.
On the occasion of Anuar’s birthday, the boys from Olympus gathered in a warm celebration for their dear friend.
Our very own Arsenii and Mirsadi with their peers from Leman 2.

A rather blurry shot, but the only evidence of our wonderful bike ride with Aoto, Ryunosuke, Hamza, Hanwen, Arsenii and Mr Rodrigo. The stellar picture courtesy of Mr George !
Mr Tom’s handcrafted Mount Olympus is finally up ! This will keep track of the house competition between grades, to inspire them to reach the top ! Grade 12 (Dionysus) and Grade 11 (Ares) Grade 10 (Apollo) and Grade 9 (Hades) are up for the glory at the top. At the moment Grade 12, Dionsyus, is leading by 210 points. Where will the next months take us ? Keep up with the competition on the blog right here !
The basketball game against the house of Leman was a triumph for Olympus. We doubled the competition in score ! Well done, boys.
Our team had some outstanding players, including Toma, Nigel, Waleed and Karim. We couldn’t have done it without them !
We played the house of Concha in a friendly game of football. We are happy to report we once again demolished the competition !!
We had to play on a particularly rainy evening, but everyone was quick to dry up when the game was over.
We couldn’t have won against the house of Concha without the stellar performance of Aoto, Ryunosuke, Marnix, Karim, Francisco, Omar and Max. Standing ovation for our winning players !
