Ladies and gentlemen,
Today was a special day. Today was… the bake-off competition !
Our judges, Mr Usher, Mme Salamin and Mme Nord had to taste cakes. Each house had to bake their own cake. For now, we do not know the winner, because all cakes were very nice !
Our girl, Muslima, made beautiful pavlovas ! Yummy !!
Muslima made these ! Congratulations, Muslima !!

Dear all,
We had a lovely week-end.
Some girls did photography…
Gabriela during the photography workshop
Others went horse riding…
Some went biking, playing tennis or badminton, and some decided to take some time to wrap gift boxes for children in Eastern Europe !
What is this about ? the CDL community decided to fill, wrap and send around 70 gift boxes to children in need in Eastern Europe, to make sure these children will have a gift for Christmas. We are so proud of everyone who took part in this lovely project.
As part of the second Wellbeing Pillar, our girls have celebrated diversity this weekend in the Kitchen, by cooking some dishes from their countries. They have chosen this way to show a bit about their cultures. We have had a tasty and beautiful dish from Korea and our french girls cooked delicious crêpes. Bon appetite!
Dear all,
Last week was Spirit week here in Collège du Léman. This is part of the Wellbeing Pillar number 2, dedicated to fighting bullying and celebrating the differences and diversity among our community.
We have students and staff coming from everywhere in the world, and our school is a very good example of achieving goals and working together, although we don’t always have the same language or culture.
Last Sunday, our boarders gathered in the football field to shoot a video, wearing a mask, (of course) with their countries flag. We are so proud of them !
Dear all,
This week-end, our girls got to join many activities, like photography, zumba, tennis, and the brand new fashion & beauty club, organised by Miss Lucélia from Villa du Lac and Miss Monica from Old Portena ! And on sunday morning, as usual, we had a delicious brunch.
We had fun together and the weather was nice, although winter is coming ! 🙂

Special thanks to our kitchen staff who work everyday ! Only three of them in the picture, but they are more chefs working at CDL 🙂
Dear all,
On Wednesday evening, we attended our boarding assembly… but in a new way ! Due to the new coronavirus restrictions in Switzerland, the Collège du Léman team decided the boarding assembly should be pre-recorded and broadcasted in all houses so the students do not mix.
Our girls simply had to sit in the common room and watch the video. Thanks to everyone who worked on this project, we have been able to hear our boarding director, Mr Usher, but also our prefects, hear about new projects, listen to Mr Antonio talking about the wellbeing pillars, getting news from the World News committee, pay tribute to Lebanon… All this while sitting together in the comfort of our own home ! Safe and sound 🙂
Dear all,
Last week-end, the youngest borders of Collège du Léman went trick or treating around the houses for halloween ! We decorated Villa du Lac and welcomed the children with candies. They looked amazing with their masks on !
Boo ! Did we scare you ?
Yesterday, some of our girls did some pumpkin carving. We had to choose one to present for the house competition. Hopefully, we will win, thanks to Muslima’s spooky pumpkin!
Mila, Emilia, Petra, Alina, Ana carved those ones

Dear all,
This week was October Break. Some of our girls stayed with us and we had fun together ! The CDL prepared activities so no one would be bored.
On Monday, we visited Bern, capital city of Switzerland.
On Wednesday, we visited Lausanne. The younger ones from other houses also got to visit the Olympic Museum in Ouchy.
Wakana and her friends near Place de la Riponne in Lausanne…
On Thursday, our house welcomed other boarding house friends for a Halloween workshop. We created spooky masks and make up to be ready for the spooky treasure hunt on campus that night.
We helped some younger boarders create their halloween mask.
Safety first with masks, but beware of vampires !
On Friday, we visited Vevey and Montreux.
We are now preparing the boarding house to welcome the girls who were away this week. Can’t wait to be reunited !
See you soon at Villa du Lac…
