Dear All,

This weekend at CDL was certainly one to remember, with the long-awaited Winter Ball as its shining highlight.

The festivities began on Thursday with a lovely visit from the primary principals, who joined us at Terray 27 to experience boarding life and enjoy a shared afternoon tea. On Friday, the weekend got off to a relaxed and familiar start with another much-loved Terray movie night. Saturday was intentionally kept lighter, with just a few activities planned to allow everyone ample time to prepare for the evening ahead. We also enjoyed a fantastic visit from Maya, a day student who stayed in Terray 27 for a week filled with fun last year!

Last night, we finally attended the highly anticipated Winter Ball at CDL. Excitement and anticipation had been building for weeks, and we were all thrilled to celebrate this truly momentous occasion at last.

After a busy afternoon of getting ready, the girls looked absolutely stunning as we made our way to the Mövenpick Hotel in Geneva. Upon arrival, we were welcomed into a beautifully decorated space filled with Christmas trees, festive ornaments, popcorn, and a delightful apéro featuring bite-sized treats and delicious punch.

The evening continued in the elegant banquet hall, complete with a dance floor and perfectly styled tables. We were seated alongside the wonderful Champs des Bois boarding house and enjoyed lively conversation as we were served a delicious three-course meal. We were also honoured to listen to heartfelt speeches from esteemed members of our boarding community.

The highlight of the night soon followed as everyone took to the dance floor. The energy was infectious, and we truly danced the night away. By the time it was time to return home, we were happily exhausted and ready for a well-deserved night of rest.

This magical evening will remain a cherished memory for years to come, and we are already eagerly looking forward to next year’s Winter Ball. ✨

Lots of love,

The Terray 27 Team
