It’s that time of year again! As winter break approaches, our boarding house is getting ready to take a little pause.

It’s been an unforgettable few months here at the boarding house. From cozy evenings in the common areas to group activities and impromptu hangouts, this place has been a home for all of us. Whether you’ve spent hours in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes or shared stories in the lounge, it’s the people and the moments that have made this term special.

For now, it’s time to hit pause, recharge, and take a well-deserved break. Whether you’re heading back to family, taking a winter trip, or simply enjoying some downtime, we hope you get the chance to unwind and reflect on everything you’ve accomplished this term. The break is your time to relax, and we’ll be here when you’re ready to dive back into the next chapter.

The boarding house will reopen on Saturday, March 1st, from 9 AM. See you soon!! ❄️☃️🏂🏽

This weekend was yet another special one for our wonderful boys and girls from both Saint-Loup boarding houses! From snowy slopes to sizzling kitchens, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

⛷️ Ski Day Adventures
Some of our girls hit the slopes for the second ski day, making the most of the crisp Swiss air and stunning mountain views. Whether they were perfecting their turns or simply enjoying the thrill of the ride, it was a day filled with laughter and unforgettable memories.

🎾 Tennis Triumphs
Meanwhile, other students swapped snow for sunshine (or at least indoor courts!) and took part in some tennis training. It was all about teamwork, skill, and, of course, a little healthy competition.

👩‍🍳 Cooking Up a Storm
For those who prefer their adventures indoors, the kitchen was the place to be! Our budding chefs whipped up some delicious treats, proving that cooking is not just a life skill but also a whole lot of fun. From savoury dishes to sweet delights, the results were nothing short of impressive.

No matter how they spent their weekend, our students showed once again that life at Collège du Léman is all about balance, friendship, and making the most of every moment. Here’s to many more weekends like this one!

Over the past few days, we started Pillar 3 of the year—Wellbeing. This pillar is all about how we can take care of ourselves and make smart, healthy choices in our relationships with others.

Tonight, we had a lot of fun playing a Kahoot quiz and talking about whether we know how to make these good choices for ourselves.

A big congratulations to Maria for winning first place, followed by Choetsho and Kendra!

We had an amazing weekend in the mountains at Crans-Montana! Our boarders enjoyed skiing and snowboarding and had a good time exploring the slopes. It was a nice opportunity to spend time together and enjoy the outdoors.

While waiting for the next weekend on the slopes, I’ll leave you with a few photos showcasing this past weekend.

Happy New Year and welcome back, everyone! We hope you had a restful holiday and are feeling ready to jump into a new term full of possibilities.

This is a fresh start, a chance to set new goals, try new things, and make lasting memories with friends and teachers. Let’s make this year our best yet—filled with hard work, creativity, and kindness.

Welcome back to campus, and let’s make 2025 a year to remember!

Here’s to a fantastic term ahead!

The Winter Ball at College du Leman was truly magical ✨. The ballroom sparkled with twinkling lights and dresses, setting the perfect stage for an unforgettable evening 🕯️.

Girls arrived in stunning dresses 👗, and the night was filled with laughter 😄, dancing 💃, and special moments.

A big shoutout to the Saint-Loup boys’ house, who looked dashing in their suits and made the night even more memorable! 😎💫

But what really made the night memorable was the sense of community 🤝. From helping each other with outfits to dancing together, it was a perfect reminder of the strong bonds we share at Saint-Loup ❤️. Can’t wait for next year’s ball! 🎉

Yesterday, we came together to celebrate the holiday season in the most heartwarming way. We chose this Wednesday so that we could all gather and share this special moment as a group.

We organized a Secret Santa, adding a touch of mystery and fun to our day. To set the holiday mood, we played a cozy Christmas movie on the TV and enjoyed delicious hot chocolates, panettone, and plenty of laughter.

Here are a few photos capturing the joy of our celebration. And of course, what are the holidays without a little bit of drama? Let’s just say the cookies didn’t turn out as planned… I may have almost set off the fire alarm with how badly I burned them! 😅

Thank you, girls, for everything, you are truly amazing, and we love you all so much. We are incredibly happy to be spending this year with you. Wishing you nothing but the very best for the new year ahead, because you deserve nothing less. ❤️

To honour the rich Genevan tradition of l’Escalade de Genève, both Saint-Loup villas joined in the festivities by breaking the symbolic marmite (cauldron). Filled with candies and marzipan fruits and vegetables, the marmite represents the hot pots used by the people of Geneva in 1602 to repel the Savoyard invaders.

Following tradition, the youngest and oldest members of each house broke the marmite together, proudly proclaiming: “Ainsi périssent les ennemis de la République!” 🇨🇭

This joyful celebration was a meaningful way for our students to connect with local history and culture while indulging in some delicious treats.
