Our Grade 12 and Ib2 students have been working very hard for the last couple of weeks to prepare for their end-of-year exams. It will soon be time to say goodbye and see you soon, as we will have the chance to see them again one last time at their graduation ceremony in June.

Today we say goodbye to Defne, who will be finishing her IB2 exams on Friday.

Akmaral, Bruna, Defne, Ana Sofia, Ana Lucia, and Mia, we wish you the best of luck, we are sure you are going to do amazing. We are really proud of you ♥️

Today marks the first time we say “last”. Today we had our last dinner in the house and to celebrate we enjoyed a delicious lasagna and tiramisu. The girls gathered around the table and enjoyed a relaxing dinner sharing memories.

This week we talked about the importance of decision-making and how difficult it can be when it comes to important decisions.

Our advocate team prepared an informative video offering our students different tips to navigate the decision-making progress and they have summed them up in this poster.

Last night, as part of our International dinner program, we enjoyed pulled beef tacos with delicious guacamole that made part of our students go (literally) nuts for it.

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.
