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?

On Sunday we had this AMAZING cake competition. All the houses gave their best, and we were able to discover cakes each more beautiful than the last!
Although the Pavlova from the Villa du Lac girls stood out for its unbelievable delicacy, our houses didn’t fall short as we finished in the top 5 !🏆
The Saint Loup 4 girls chose to make a magnificent chocolate, coffee and strawberry cake. Congratulations to Choetsho, who gave her all for this sublime cake. 🍫☕🍓
The girls from Saint Loup 9 chose to make a lemon cake with a magnificent Christmas decoration. Congratulations to Haruka and Bruna for this magnificent decoration ! ❄️🍋☃️
A bientôt !

What a fantastic weekend for our Saint Loup girls!
We spent our Saturday afternoon at the Montreux Christmas market- It was so busy and festive!
There were many little shops with local produce, ornaments and food. The girls had fun watching Papa Noel come in from the lake and enjoyed a nice dinner and walks around the lovely town.
The holiday season is definitely here!
Saint Loup Team ❤
As the festive season is approaching, Miss Maria went on a brave quest to decorate the house for the holiday season. The task was not easy as it was going to be the first decorations the house would have and she wanted to live up to the girls’ expectations.
Fortunately, our lovely girls had a blast decorating the house. Music was up, and the festivity mood was on. Laughter was guaranteed and they all went to bed with a big smile on their face.
This weekend our Campus was quieter than usual, as many kids went back home for the long weekend or joined the Boarding trip to Copenhagen. In Saint Loup, some of our girls stayed and enjoyed a calm weekend participating in their activities.
Sofiya’s passion for food is starting to grow on her, and she decided to go back to Cooking lessons where she learned how to make a delicious Coco and Mango crumble. But that’s not it, in the evening she invited her friend Emma to our home and together they cooked some homemade tomato sauce for their pasta. The smell was from another world 🤤
Akmaral woke up on Saturday with plenty of energy to play some Tennis with her border fellows despite the cold weather 🥶 while Fields attended body-shaping on Sunday to make sure she is in shape for her next challenge (we don’t want to spoil anything, but she’s going to be in a rush pretty soon).
Choestso was captivated by one of the new clubs and decided to attend the History Club as she is passionate about Greek History and Mythology and, since the teacher is Greek, she has plenty of opportunities to ask him interesting questions.
We hope everyone had a lovely weekend.
