Preparations for the India Trip 2015

For any students and parents considering the India trip the following is a brief survey of the activities that typically take place in preparation for going to India.

This is a log of the various activities that took place between October 2014 and April 2015.

Packing Demonstration

All students went to Nations campus after school on one evening in themonth before the trip. A teacher demonstrated the kind of things that should be packed by opening up her suitcase! 

Sandra Steiger at Campus des nations writes ...

It is my great pleasure to invite you to the India Evening at Campus des Nations this Friday 27th from 5pm - 8pm. It will be held in the cafeteria on the 3rd floor.

We will have Indian food, music and dance performances and a fashion show. It would be lovely if you could join us! And of course feel free to bring friends and family.

If any India students from the other campuses would like to help, we could always do with more support. Please write me an email and I'll be in touch with what stand you could help with. 

And of course if you (or someone you know) can help with donating some Indian dishes to sell, or would like to sell other items, or would like to perform, please let me know (ideally by Tuesday night).

Looking forward to it!

Day hike on Saturday, 21 February. 

The snow-shoe expedition took place at La Givrine. The weather was a day of heavy snowfall and we had a wonderful 5-km walk up to the La Genolier buvette for a hot chocolate drink. We all enjoyed the deep snow especially following Mr.Harrison 'off-piste' through the forest!

India Meal on Thursday December 11 2014 in Geneva

A very enjoyable evening meal was shared by students from all three campuses at the Bollywood Restaurant in Geneva. The sumptuous meal was followed by distribution of Christmas presents (see image) with a difference!

Sponsored 10 kilometre walk through the Lavaux vineyards

On Saturday 22nd November, thirty students, seven staff and two dogs set off from St. Saphorin to Lutry following the 'grand tour' itinerary through the vine terraces. The sun managed to break through and we had a very pleasant walk, with a stop for packed lunches overlooking Lac Leman. This was the first time that the students from the three campuses had been together and they were encouraged to introduce themselves to each other.
