We like to think that the Secret Santa signals the beginning of our holidays, so only a few days before the break, the girls exchanged small gifts and hugs.
Happy Holidays to everyone and we hope this is only the start of the best holidays ever!
All our love to the families and friends along with our warmest wishes

Today, I wanted to talk about something really important for all of us. Something that we all have in common in Saint Loup 9 house :
🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 OUR PETS !! 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾
We have to admit one thing: it’s not just our animals. For us, they are just like human beings, part of our family in the same way as a little brother or sister. We can talk to them, they can understand us, and let’s say that they can even answer !
We LOVE them and they love us back. Our relationship with them is special because we know they will never hurt us, it is only love and cuddles. We could watch them play or sleep all day long ! So yes… we do miss our cats and dogs. 😭
Although we can still see them by videocalls, we cannot hug them, which is a HUGE frustration.
But I have a GOOD NEWS : in less than a week, we will be able to give them passionate hugs and kisses !
The holidays are approaching and we can’t wait to get back to our families (which includes our adorable pets) to celebrate Christmas and the New Year.
We woof you a meowy Christmas ! 🐶😽
Pictures are all we have when we are away from them, so enjoy these wonderful photos of the Winx girls with their “children”🧚♀️
Kseniia 💙 Fields 💜
Bruna ❤️ Haruka 🩷
Sofiya 💛 Akmaral 💚

The Fête de l’Escalade is an opportunity to remember the history of Geneva but also a time for togetherness. For this reason, we got together and Samira and Etoile, and Kseniia and Sofiya, our youngest and oldest girls in the houses as tradition dictates, broke the Marmite with their soup spoons!
As you can imagine, we did not stop until we ate all of the chocolate and marzipan vegetables while reading the history of the Escalade that goes back to 1602!
Happy Escalade!

The girls of Saint Loup 9 decided to do a Secret Santa this year!
Even Maria and Lina, the house parents, joined in, and it was MAGIC. ✨
We all did our best to find the perfect gift for the girl we had to give a present to. Between candles, pyjamas, Christmas socks, jewelry… etc. It was a warm and loving moment, and we will always remember it.
We wish you all the best, girls ❤️
Merry Christmas and lots of love!
A bientôt !

At Collège du Léman, we love creativity !
With the festive season just around the corner, we launched a gingerbread house competition.
Our queen of creativity at Saint Loup 9 is Bruna👑. She is always the first one to participate, especially when it comes to creativity.
We decided to honor all the girls from the house, Switzerland and our beloved Collège du Léman to make this wonderful house.
Its creation required a great deal of patience and attention to detail, but look how beautiful it is !
Com muito amor ! Beijos 😽

The first weekend of December has brought us the first snowflakes of the season. Although it didn’t snow much and didn’t stay on the floor, we could see it brought excitement to our girls’ eyes.
As we also started the countdown for the holidays to go back home, the girls wanted to make sure they were taking advantage of the few weeks they had left before the end of the semester.
Bruna and Sofiya are becoming regulars in our cooking club. This Saturday, they baked holiday season-themed cookies and decorated them. It’s not because our girls made them, but they were delicious. On the same day, Akmaral woke up early to exercise and play some Tennis.
Last night we had the chance to attend the first, of hopefully many more, Winter Festive concert for Boarders organized by Mr. Roger, House Parent in Léman. Our boarding community is full of brilliant students with plenty of talent and we want to make sure they have a platform to develop their skills with us.
Plenty of boarders came to support their friends and enjoy a great show where we were asked to sign along to the songs and have fun with the musicians.
Among all the performances, our dear Akmaral was one of the stars. She, accompanied by Adi on the guitar and Mr. Roger on the piano, sang Snowman by SIA.
This week for our wellbeing pillar we changed topics and we focused on disability. With this topic, the group of advocates for this pillar wanted to make the rest of the students reflect on the concept of disability and to look around the houses and identify potential barriers that a housemate with a disability might encounter.
For this, they created a QR code where students could submit their answers and reflect on how we, as a community, can make a difference to help others.
What would you improve about the boarding house for a housemate with a disability?
