On February 4th, 17 secondary school students —together with sports teacher Samy and two chaperones— will travel to Tanzania to attempt to climb the Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 meters.
To prepare for this challenge, our adventurers have followed since last December a mandatory intensive training program including 6 to 8 days of trekking and other physical exercises!
The preparations started at the end of the year with a 16 km hike in Yvorne. Additional challenging trainings have included a 15 km trekking between Switzerland and France and a 20 km climb to Lake Tanay. The difficulty of these trainings lies in the high altitudes, which helps participants to get used to the climbing conditions that they will find in Tanzania.
In parallel to their expedition, our team organized a t-shirt sale in support of the expedition. The funds raised will be donated to various charity projects in Tanzania.
More than a sporting expedition, it is above all a human adventure!
“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!
