Les Roches’ Got Talent!

Last week Friday we had one of the many fantastic Les Roches Events that will take place this semester. The Bsc S.5 and 6 classes and Student Social Committee put on the first ever Les Roches’ Got Talent. The event was held to raise funds for the charity porteBonheur in aid of Swiss Orphans. www.portebonheur.ch/

The organisers did a wonderful job of transforming the school lobby. There were lounge seats and tables for guests, a judge’s panel and of course a large stage set with lighting and ready for the performers.

Just like the popular talent shows we had a trusty panel of 5 judges who gave the performers feed back some of which was very complimentary and while others were not so lucky.

Of the 15 performers we had comedic acts, dances, singers, a rapper, and a band.

The event went off flawlessly with refreshments and snacks available throughout the evening. In the end the judges chose a winner.

Dorothea, an HOI, sang a beautiful version of Adele’s “Someone like you” accompanied by acoustic guitar. Her performance had both the judges and the audience singing along. She was given the honour of best talent of the evening.

Cultural Night

The Cultural Night in Les Roches is one of the most important events of the semester. All of the students become part of this night by participating in the preparations, attending the shows and running the stands areas in the main building. During this night, visitors, alumni and staff get to experience an amazing international ambiance that is created by the efforts of all of the students in all the programs.

During this night, we have two parts. First, there is the show where students perform typical or traditional dances from their home countries. The school encourages the students to make this show the best they can and to rehearse before the final presentation.

This time, we had students from China, Korea, Thailand, Mexico, India and many more who performed for everyone and showed their dancing and entertainment talents.
