Dear Champiteans,
Welcome back to school! I hope that you have had a relaxed and pleasant summer; with a little boredom which sparks creativity, quality time with your loved ones and, ideally, a some reading and revision.
Life never really stops at Collège Champittet. The school holidays had just started and the campuses of Nyon and Pully were already filled with children.
Our Swiss Maturity, International Baccalaureate and French bac graduates bid farewell to their second home in a ceremony full of emotions and nostalgia.

When I started working at Champittet in 1984, I never imagined the length of the journey I would undertake and the extraordinary diversity I would experience there.
This month, two major annual sporting events took place: the cross-country race organised by the Association of Directors of Institutes in French-speaking Switzerland (ADISR) and the 20km of Lausanne.
As every year, the Champittet Holiday Clubs took place on the Pully and Nyon campuses during the Easter holidays, with two new additions: the Happy Sciences camp, organised in collaboration with our partner Young Engineers, and the sailing camp, in partnership with the Pully Nautical Club.
