This past weekend, our boarding house headed up into the Swiss Alps for an unforgettable mountain trip. The Grades 11 and 12 students went to Verbier, while the Grades 9 and 10 students spent their time in Leysin.

Both groups had full days packed with activities. Between the hikes, team games, and mountain challenges, there was always something to do. We explored trails, tested our balance and courage in outdoor activities, and of course enjoyed plenty of laughs together.

Evenings were just as fun—sharing meals, relaxing with friends, and winding down after the fresh mountain air. It was a perfect mix of adventure and bonding, and everyone came back with new memories and closer friendships.

Weekends like this remind us how lucky we are to live and study in Switzerland, surrounded by such incredible landscapes.

We’re so excited to celebrate Tea’s birthday today! Even though she’s only been with us for a few weeks, she’s already brought such a fun and lively energy to the house. Her quick wit and humour make us all laugh, but she also has a gentle, kind side that makes her a joy to be around.

We hope today is full of love, laughter, and everything that makes you feel celebrated – because you truly deserve it.   We’re so happy to have you in our boarding family.

Happy birthday, Tea – here’s to a beautiful year ahead!
