This weekend’s weather is all we’ve been dreaming about since November. Students went down to the lake to enjoy the sun and relax before the exam season started.
Sofiya had a lovely birthday picnic in our garden with a few friends before heading to her beloved activity of the semester: boxing. Week after week Sofiya enjoys going to the Versoix Boxing Club and give the punching bag a hard time.

Ciao a tutti,
this weekend Fields embarked on a trip to Venice, Italy. Along with other students, she discovered the wonderful streets of the “City of Canals”. Founded 1602 years ago, Venice is one of the most beautiful cities, not only in the Adriatic Sea but in the whole world.
In addition to eating plenty of pasta, pizza, lasagna, and gelato, Fields visited the Palazzo Ducale, situated in Piazza San Marcos. They also got lost in the streets of Murano, an island very close to Venice where they learned about the art of making glass. Before coming back to Geneva, they visited La Fenice, one of the oldest and most famous theaters in the history of Italy.
Arrivederci, Venezia. Next stop…?

Today is a bank holiday in Switzerland and therefore all stores, restaurants, and gathering places are closed.
Kseniia and her friends didn’t want to miss the opportunity of the lovely weather we have today and organized a barbecue! Mr. Nacho was kind enough to open the door of his home and let them do the barbecue in Villa Franconis. Fun, laughs, screaming and lots of joy were shared between all of them.

In this week’s takeaway, we discussed how peer pressure can affect our decisions. For this, our amazing Advocates group created this poster to help other students identify peer pressure and how to avoid it.

Our last well-being pillar was launched on Wednesday during our Boarding Assembly. Over the next few weeks, our incredible team of advocates will be talking and discussing how to make safe and responsible choices.
We are pleased to have Sofiya as our own advocate for the house! We will be sharing more information every week. Stay tuned!

Kseniia is passionate about tennis; she has been playing for as long as she can remember being able to walk. She doesn’t miss a chance to watch any ATP tournament on TV. Last night it was time to support Medvédev, a tennis player she is very fond of. Unfortunately, he had to retire but Kseniia was still happy he had the chance to play for a full set despite his injury.

We are pleased to introduce you to our May Fitness Challenge! Each day students will be challenged to do a different activity and will be able to win special rewards! With this initiative we want students to forget about their textbooks for 5 minutes a day and get involved in some stress-relieving activities before their End of Year exams next month.
Yesterday Sofiya was our house winner, after flipping her water bottle 14 times in just a minute!
How will today’s challenge go?

After our monthly Boarding Assembly on Wednesday, the girls enjoyed a delicious and typical American dinner, with ribs, chicken wings, Caesar’s salad, and various desserts such as cookies, donuts, or brookies.
We had sun and rain this weekend, but this didn’t stop Sofiya from enjoying her weekend.
Sofiya has been trying out new activities since we arrived from the February break. This time it was time to give it a try to boxing. As you can see, she didn’t fail to amaze us all with her skills!

Our grade 12 girls have only a few weeks left of school before going on Study leave to prepare for their end-of-year exams.
We know they are working hard, so we wanted to treat them with homemade cookies.
Chocolate hazelnut cookies or brownie cookies? Which one do you prefer?
