"Let the little children come to me; do not hinder them, because the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like them.”
It was with these words from the Gospel that Father Charles officially said goodbye to us during the traditional family mass on Saturday, September 11. About fifty people were present and joined in prayer for the event. During his homily, Father Charles thanked God for the happiness that the school and the children have given him over the past 18 years. He expressed how this invitation of Jesus in the Gospel has always deeply inspired his pastoral action at the Collège Champittet.
At the end of the celebration, on behalf of the management team, Roland Lomenech, academic director, recalled in his own words what Father Charles was for the school and how much he contributed to the human and spiritual education of the students. This mass was also an opportunity to introduce to the families Father Giuseppe Foletti who will succeed him as chaplain.
This last official Mass was emotional, both for Father Charles and for those who have known him for a long time.
After the celebration, an aperitif was held in the park. This was an opportunity for parents and children to thank him personally and to wish him a happy retirement. The aperitif was followed by a packed lunch for those who wished.

By learning to plan their time wisely, students can be more productive, develop great study habits, and create a balanced lifestyle – one that fosters both personal and academic growth. Mastering this essential skill also sets them up for future success.
“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.
