This evening was the annual CDL Talent Show. Below is half of Olympus’ offering, drawn by our own Veniamin Novozhilov. The whole house is represented on a map of the world! The second half was a ‘midget dance’  performance performed in front of the rest of the Boarding community. Pictures to follow soon!

Since our return in February the Olympus boys have been quite busy. The second marking period is now over and we are pleased to announce the majority of our boys have got the results they were looking for! It has been fantastic to see their hard work and dedication finally pay off.

To reward the boys and celebrate fantastic results, the House is enjoying pizza for this evenings UEFA Champions League football match; Chelsea vs. Paris Saint Germain!

Well done boys – well deserved!

Pietro Capra, Daniel Safanov and George Kachamila have all recently been picked to play for the local Football team in Versoix, in addition to playing for College du Leman. An excellent achievement boys; we all look forward to seeing you all play soon!

This evening Olympus was revealed as the winners of the ‘Joy’ photo competition!

Below is a reminder of the photo; ‘Jumping for Joy’ taken by our very own Yilun Ma. The winning photo took 30 minutes to create, and 143 photos in order to get all 30 boys jumping at the same time! In addition we have included another fantastic photo from Yilun’s collection of our time in Crans Montana!

Olympus had a fantastic time in Crans Montana last week during the February half term. 14 students from the house chose to spend their holidays at the Hotel Du Parc (4*) in Montana! The week was a brilliant opportunity to make new friends, learn/improve ones skiing or snowboarding ability and take part in evening activities (ice skating, snow tubing and bowling). After skiing the students were given ample time to explore the resort and rest in preparation for the start of school this week. Below are photos of the group at snowtubing, two on the Crans Montana ski area and a time lapse of the view from the hotel (taken by our very own Yilun Ma)!

Yilun is passionate about photography, so was the perfect choice to photo the whole house for the most recent house competition! The theme of the competition was ‘Joy’ so naturally we were drawn to the famous English saying ‘Jumping For Joy!’ Below is the photo we submitted for the competition and another example of Yilun’s work. The photo was taken in his home city of Beijing, at an abandoned factory.

Veniamin has been asked to design the official poster for the Middle School Gymnastics Gala and the ‘Above The Rim’ basketball tournament by the PE department at CDL! The posters are displayed throughout the school in the lead up to the events. Veniamin enjoys creating art work in his spare time, and plans to study graphic design at University.
