For many years, Collège Champittet has proudly organised an annual humanitarian trip to Madagascar to support our Foundation’s work. The Collège Champittet Foundation is committed to several humanitarian projects in Madagascar, including maintaining an orphanage and providing free education and meals to children in need.
In October, we were delighted to once again bring a group of Champittet students to Madagascar, where they actively contributed to our projects on the ground. Facing a reality that is very different from our own daily life at Collège Champittet, our young volunteers engaged in renovation work and spent time interacting with local Malagasy children. Through this intercultural experience, our students broadened their worldview and deepened their awareness of global issues. While forming meaningful relationships with the local community, our participants reflected on their own responsibilities and privileges.
As part of the trip, our students also learned about the unique ecosystem of Madagascar. In addition to enjoying the country’s beautiful beaches, our group visited natural wildlife areas, observing the island’s rich variety of plant and animal species.Our annual humanitarian trip is always a transformational experience. Not only do our students discover a different country and culture, but they play an important role in supporting social projects that improve the lives of the local community. Offering a tremendous opportunity for personal growth, this year’s trip to Madagascar has left an unforgettable impression on our young travellers.
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” Here at Champittet, we know that inspiring children to dream big while envisioning their future is a core part of education. It’s also the focus of Dare All Trades Day, or JOM (Journée Oser tous les Métiers).
The Winter Ball is an eagerly awaited annual tradition here at Champittet, but this year brought a twist: the school’s first ever Masquerade Ball. With the theme “Black and Gold, don’t forget your mask!”, this year’s winter dance was organised by 14th-grade IB students, and the event was open to students in grades 9 and 10.
Who says summer is far away? Registration is now open for the Champittet Leadership Camp!
