BOO! Happy Halloween from Terray! 🎃

To kick off the spooky festivities, we created a Halloween scene for a pumpkin competition against the other boarding houses. The girls did an amazing job showcasing their talents, and we proudly took 2nd place, competing against some pretty impressive pumpkins! The girls had a blast dressing up for school, with some even coming in their full trick-or-treating outfits and makeup.

For dinner, we enjoyed a traditional cheese fondue, surrounded by fantastic decorations and costumes. Right after eating, we set off on a candy trail, stopping by the different boarding houses to collect as many sweet treats as we could carry.

Take a look below at the incredible costumes our girls put together—can you guess who’s who?

Happy Halloween!

Last weekend before the holidays! 🍂

Dear all,

As the weather gets slightly colder, reminding us of the autumn season, the holidays are also approaching fast! The girls are very excited to ge going back home and we can’t wait to hear about all their fun memories.

This weekend was full of revision and preparation for summatives and formatives for the upcoming week. They did appreciate to spend time chilling at home, under a cossy blanket while watching Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Some other activities the girls were involved in include cooking, tennis and horse riding.

Have a great two weeks break when it comes and a nice start of the week.

Kind regards,

Villa Terray team 🩵

An unforgettable weekend: from Charlig to Europa Park, a pyjama party & loads of sport

What a weekend! 🐕🧗‍♀️🧘‍♀️🏇🤾‍♀️🤸‍♀️🎉🎢🎡

Everything started on Friday with the departure of Emily, Jade, and Annabella to Europa Park, where they enjoyed the bumper cars, thrilling rides, and Annabella even won a super cute, giant stuffed toy!

Meanwhile, back at Villa Terray, the highlight was the unexpected visit of Charlig, an adorable lost dog. Luckily, we were able to contact his owner, who came to pick him up almost an hour later – though not nearly long enough for everyone to enjoy his company! The following day, Charlig and his owner returned for a visit, bringing delicious macarons to thank us for taking care of him. All the girls were excited to see their furry friend again!

The weekend was packed with even more fun, including a shopping trip to Geneva to look for sports items, warm clothes, electronic devices, and food. On the way back, Miss Ana made some banana pear ice cream- a delicious and healthy way to enjoy fruit in a new form!

Other activities included horse riding, trampoline park, badminton, stretching, and tennis. There was also the chance to sleep together and plan a mini pajama party, taking advantage of the absence of half the house due to the Europa Park trip.

Now, everyone is hoping Charlig will visit again soon. We’re already looking forward to more weekends like this – full of laughter, surprises, and endless fun!

Wishing you all a wonderful week,
The Villa Terray Team 🩵

 

Dinner at home!

The first dinner at home took place today, with an amazing meal celebrating Italian lasagna and tiramisu. We sat together to create more of a family feeling, rather than going to the dining hall, and all the girls loved it!

Amazing Mountain Weekend in Leysin!

Dear all,

This weekend, we went to Leysin to connect with nature, create some wonderful memories, and bond together as a small family while enjoying time off campus! Some of the activities we participated in included learning about local fauna and flora, geography, and other interesting facts during a great hike. We also had a campfire where we roasted marshmallows, did orienteering, created forest art, and enjoyed many other exciting activities.

On behalf of the girls and ourselves, a big thank you to Claire and the entire camp team for making this weekend such a memorable one. We’re now off to rest and recharge for tomorrow and the exciting discovery days ahead!

Wishing you all a great start to the week,

Villa Terray Team 😊

A day in Lausanne!

Dear all,

To make the most of today’s school-free day, we went to Lausanne to explore the history of the Olympic Games, listen to the anthem from the inauguration, and buy some souvenirs. In addition, the girls had the chance to finalize the last items needed for the upcoming mountain weekend, which starts tomorrow! Keep an eye on the blog for updates from Leysin.

We look forward to sharing exciting mountain activities and outdoor experiences soon!

Best wishes,
The Villa Terray Team

 

 

First weekend at JB Terray!

Dear all,

This first weekend was very eventful for the girls, as they enjoyed a variety of activities including horseback riding, watching a movie in Champs des Bois, cooking, playing board games and football, making new friends, and playing the piano.

We are very much looking forward to spending the year together. We are proud to see the values we cherish being embraced from the very beginning—kindness to one another, internationalism, spirit, and a commitment to improvement through hard work. We are truly proud of this strong start, girls!

1st Day of School & Swiss Dinner
