The girls have just wrapped up their very first weekend here at the boarding school, and it’s safe to say it was filled with fun, energy, and plenty of new experiences.

On Saturday, Kapa and Daria spent their afternoon out on the tennis courts, practicing their swings and enjoying the sunshine. Jade joined Sora and Maria at the Art Club, where they explored their creative sides together. Meanwhile, Maria also got the chance to try horse riding, a highlight of the weekend for her. Flora rounded off the day by joining the Art Club session too, adding her own creative spark.

On Sunday, the courts were busy once again as Kapa, Daria, and Jade picked up their rackets for another round of tennis. Maria, on the other hand, set off on a special adventure — a boat trip to Yvoire with Sora and Flora, a beautiful way to spend the day and soak up the scenery.

In between these activities, the girls also had the chance to bond with one another and enjoy some well-deserved rest, making the weekend both lively and balanced.

It was a wonderful first weekend for all the girls, filled with both sports and creativity, as well as moments to bond with each other. We’re looking forward to seeing what the next weekends will bring!

We had already unpacked and settled into our dorms last week, but now it feels different—it is the real start. This morning alarms went off early, and we all dragged ourselves out of bed for breakfast before heading off to our second full morning of classes at Collège du Léman. New teachers, new classrooms, and that mix of nerves and excitement that comes with the first proper school day, besides the first introductions. The morning was a mix of Maths, French, PE, and Literacy—jumping from numbers to verbs, running in the gym, and then settling back down with books. Busy, but it made the day go fast.

In the afternoons, our weekly activities kicked off:

• Daria threw herself into Hip Hop and design.
• Stella shined in musical theatre and design.
• Flora got lost in the tech labs and had fun with acrylics.
• Jasper loved book club and chess—she didn’t want them to end.
• Kapa and Maria rode horses, and also had fun at the art club.
• Jade jumped straight into debate club and business club—no surprise there.
• Kailin practiced her French, even slipping in a few words at dinner. Business club was an interesting one!
• Sora is finally here, and she will enjoy her afternoon activities tomorrow!

On Tuesday the girls also went to their first assembly, which was interesting for most of them!.. and less interesting for the ones who wanted to rush to dinner! The Swiss themed dinner was to die for!

By the evening, the nine of us were back together in the common room, swapping stories about our day. It’s only the first two days of the routine, but it already feels like life at Collège du Léman is really beginning!

The excitement and nerves of a new school year are in the air here at Terray 27!

Our boarding house is now almost complete, with just Sora still to arrive – we can’t wait to welcome her! We are truly proud of the wonderful group of girls we have this year. Terray 27 is ready for a fantastic start, and we’re here to support each and every student every step of the way. What a great team – and this is only the beginning!

Our students are slowly getting to know one another and beginning to gel as a community. It’s wonderful to see new friendships forming, shared laughter in the common areas, and a spirit of cooperation taking shape. We’re excited to watch these bonds grow stronger in the weeks ahead!

The Terray Team is excited to embark on this new journey with our junior boarders!
