Eventful weekend! 🏑🧸🎁

This weekend, we enjoyed a variety of activities, including horse riding, cooking, hip-hop dancing, climbing, shopping in Geneva for Secret Santa gifts or the upcoming Winter Ball next weekend, playing tennis, painting with Paint, and visiting the ice rink in Versoix.

On top of that, the girls did an incredible job in the Gingerbread House competition, creating a representation of Terray House with some impressive details. We thoroughly enjoyed completing this challenge together and are eagerly looking forward to the results!

Wishing you all a wonderful start to the week,

A taste of Greece! 🩡

Dear all,

This evening, we enjoyed a delicious Greek dinner at home, marking the last of our 2024 dinners at home! It was wonderful to savor such tasty food and spend some time together here, instead of in the dining hall.

Wishing you a lovely end to the week!

Wellbeing Pillars – Online safety πŸ“³

As part of the Wellbeing Program in boarding, there are four pillars focusing on various aspects that impact the development and safety of our students. This term, the focus was on Online Safety. To conclude the term, our amazing House Tutor, Ms. Sophie, delivered a highly informative session on the topic of sextortion, researched by Mr. Salvatore.

Looking ahead, keep an eye on the second pillar, which will focus on Protecting Against Bullying and Respecting Diversity.

Best wishes,

Christmas is coming to Terray!

This weekend, we filled the house with Christmas vibes as the girls are already so excited about the season. We put up our two Christmas trees and decorated them together as a family. More decorations are on the way to make the house as festive and cozy as possible πŸ˜ŠπŸŽ„πŸŽπŸ§Έ But the weekend didn’t stop there!

The girls were also allowed to have sleepovers, watch heartwarming films like Wonder, and visit the Cailler Chocolate Factory. There, we got to try delicious chocolates and pick out some presents for family and loved ones. They also had a chance to go horse riding, a perfect way to enjoy the crisp winter air. To top it all off, the girls squeezed in a fun badminton match and whipped up some couscous with meatballs in the kitchen – almost ready for MasterChef! 🍴

We are looking forward to the upcoming weekends, which promise to be full of warm winter vibes, treats, and exciting sports events. Stay tuned for more updates on the blog!

Dinner at home! USA

Howdy, everyone!

Tonight was a special nightβ€”we had dinner at home! The theme was β€œUSA,” and we made sure to include all the classic favorites. On the menu were burgers with every topping imaginable, refreshing coleslaw, herbed potatoes, and, to top it all off, delicious mini apple pies for dessert! Each of the girls customized her burger to her liking, and we had a great time picking out toppings together.

Dinner at home is very special to us here at Terray. It’s a chance to enjoy our wonderful dining area and spend quality time together in the comfort of our own space. We’re already looking forward to our next dinner together at Terray!

Best wishes,

Villa Terray Team🩡

 

BOO! Happy Halloween from Terray! πŸŽƒ

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 togetherβ€”can you guess who’s who?

Happy Halloween!

Last weekend before the holidays! πŸ‚

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! πŸ•πŸ§—β€β™€οΈπŸ§˜β€β™€οΈπŸ‡πŸ€Ύβ€β™€οΈπŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈπŸŽ‰πŸŽ’πŸŽ‘

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!
