Tonight, we had the first monthly boarding assembly of 2025! During this assembly, new students were welcomed to CDL, and those returning from Winter Break were welcomed back. We also heard a wonderful and inspiring poem by Rudyard Kipling, read by CDL’s prefects, and heard from students about the Japanese New Year and its traditions.

Afterward, we were treated to a Moroccan International Dinner, with cous cous, stewed vegetables and meat, and flatbreads. The dessert was a wonderful coconut orange cake, which made the meal one to remember! We are so happy to be back in the swing of things here at CDL, and we look forward to attending the upcoming Ski Weekend this weekend. Stay tuned for some snowy photos!

We are thrilled to welcome back our girls after a well-deserved winter break. The house is once again buzzing with life, filled with stories of their vacations and the joy of reuniting with their boarding friends. It’s heartwarming to see them settle back into their rooms, catching up and sharing laughs with one another.

As we kick off the second semester, there’s a renewed sense of energy and determination in the air. Together, we are ready to embrace new challenges, make the necessary adjustments, and stay focused on achieving our goals for 2025.

Let the journey begin—here’s to another incredible semester ahead!

As the year comes to a close, we want to wish you the very best for the holiday season and an amazing year ahead, filled with wonderful memories – whether in the boarding house, at school, or at home. May the coming year bring you health, happiness, and joy! 💫

Best wishes,

The term came to a heartwarming close with a delightful Secret Santa celebration at Terray. The girls truly enjoyed this festive and convivial moment together, sharing laughter and surprises that brought them closer as a community.Moments like these are priceless, filling the house with warmth and joy, and reminding us of the special bonds we share.

As we bid farewell for the holidays, we exchanged heartfelt wishes for a merry Christmas filled with happiness and love. Here’s to cherishing these memories and looking forward to an even brighter new year!

A massive thank you to Mr. Ronan for organising a fantastic evening that entertained our junior boarders with a brilliantly planned quiz! The prizes were outstanding and kept the students excited and engaged throughout the night. The top rewards included gold, silver, and bronze prizes for the first, second, and third-place winners, which brought the competition to an entirely new level.

Adding to the excitement, Mr. Ronan introduced a prize wheel, spinning it throughout the game to award smaller prizes, making the experience even more thrilling and unpredictable.

Honestly, this was one of the most enjoyable quiz nights we’ve had in a long time. The students were happy, and the event created a wonderful opportunity for them to bond and share a memorable moment together. Thank you once again, Mr. Ronan, for making it such a special evening!

A fabulous winter show showcased the incredible talents of our students, with captivating performances of Christmas songs, an outstanding orchestra and choir. The evening was further enriched by exceptional ballet and hip-hop routines presented by the contemporary dance students. Tonight’s show was truly entertaining and a delight to watch. Our boarder, Jade, was part of the choir, and her beautiful singing added a special touch to the evening.

Happy Birthday! 🎉 Here’s to another year of amazing memories and adventures!”

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,
