This week’s boarder of the week is…. MELINA
Melina fearlessly put her ski skills to the test as she competed in the house ski race in Verbier last Sunday. She was speedy, skilful and stylish as she raced down the slopes. ⛷️ ❄️ 🤍
A big well done Melina. Keep up the great work!!
This weekend, our students enjoyed a variety of activities. From a fun cooking class, where they showcased their culinary skills, to exciting badminton and tennis matches filled with energy and teamwork.
Some chose horse riding, connecting with nature, while others found relaxation in a yoga session. Additionally, a group had the chance to spend Sunday in the snow, enjoying an exciting day of skiing.
A weekend full of movement and unforgettable moments. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Happy Luna New Year!🐲🐉
Lunar New Year is a celebration of the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar.
A number of the girls in Villa du Lac celebrate the Luna new year and we asked them to share with us some of their traditions and insights.
One such tradition is to make dumplings, by wishing for a prosperous and lucky year. They explained how each New Year is linked to one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac and 2025 is the Year of the sixth animal in the zodiac cycle: the Snake, which symbolises wisdom, elegance and intuition.
This evening Kiki and Katia, took center stage at their class music concert. As part of their music class, both Kiki and Katia played key roles in setting the tone for the evening, performing together as part of a dynamic group.
Kiki on the guitar and Katia playing the piano kicked off the concert with an energising introduction song. As part the opening group , they gave the audience a taste of what was to come—an evening full of stunning performances from talented singers and musicians alike.
The evening was filled with warmth and joy as teachers, friends, and family gathered to support the performers. It was an enjoyable and memorable event for all, with the perfect balance of talent, camaraderie, and community.
Well done, Katia and Kiki, for your exceptional performance!
Well it has been yet another busy weekend for the Villa du Lac girls!!!
The grade 11s and 12s headed up the mountain to Crans Montana for a weekend on the slopes!! Whether skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, sledging or bowling, a wonderful time was had by all. For some it was their first experience in the alps, and Crans Montana did not disappoint with beautiful weather and views all around. Here’s a peak at what they got up to! 
Meanwhile, back at the ranch (aka Villa du Lac), the grade 9s and 10s enjoyed a slightly more relaxing weekend with a variety of activities and the chance for our newest students – Elena, Sophia and Rochelle – to get to know their peers and their surroundings a little bit better.
Obligatory Saturday shopping trips in Geneva completed, we changed the pace with a quiet evening art session to create a few more beautifully painted mugs – kudos to Elena for her flag game, and Rochelle for her patience and attention to detail!
On Sunday, a number of the girls took the chance to test their balance as they skated around the local Versoix ice rink before coming home to the peace and tranquility of a very quiet House, and baking a huge batch of brownies to welcome back the grade 11s and 12s.
We finished the weekend off by celebrating Lucia’s birthday with our freshly baked brownies and a delicious cheesecake before everyone tumbled in to bed, ready to start the new week.
Here’s wishing you all a fabulous week ahead!
The Villa du Lac Team 😊
This weekend we are celebrating Lucia’s 17th birthday!!
We hope you have had a fabulous weekend Lucia and we hope the year ahead will be filled with joy and happiness 😊
With love from all of us in VDL xxx
