At Collège Champittet, the boarding students are known for forming a close-knit community, enriched by a variety of activities throughout the year. Among these, the annual Boarding Ball stands out as a highlight, eagerly awaited by all. This year, the event was held at the stunning Beau-Rivage Palace, a Belle Époque hotel located on the shores of Lake Geneva, providing an exquisite backdrop for the evening. The students embraced the occasion with elegance, dressing to impress for a night filled with joy and camaraderie. The evening commenced with an apéro, allowing guests to mingle, followed by a gourmet dinner and dessert, setting the stage for an unforgettable night of dancing and celebration.
The Boarding Ball was not just about dancing and dining; it was a celebration of the unique spirit and bonds formed within the boarding house community. A heartfelt speech by the boarding team highlighted the deep friendships and transformative experiences shared by the students. Adding a light-hearted touch, comic awards were presented, recognizing the students' quirks and contributions with titles such as 'Spends more hours in the office than in their room' and 'Master of counterarguments'. The football team also received special recognition, underscoring the importance of sports in fostering teamwork and discipline. A playlist curated by the boarders themselves added a personal soundtrack to the evening, weaving together memories and moments that define their shared journey. The event served as a cherished pause from academic pursuits, allowing students to reflect on past joys and anticipate future adventures together.
