A Successful Garage Sale on June 1st: Community Spirit and Positive Impact

On Sunday 1 June, the Parents and Friends Association of the LCS hosted a garage sale open to both the school community and local residents.

In a friendly, lively atmosphere, families, students, neighbours and friends gathered to sell, browse and enjoy the day. From clothes and books to toys, home goods and delicious homemade treats, there was something for everyone!

The funds raised will help support student-focused initiatives, such as purchasing educational resources, funding cultural activities, and organising future events for the parents.

A heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful parent volunteers who generously gave their time to help make the event such a success. And sincere thanks as well to the school leadership for once again opening its doors to warmly welcome the wider community.

Beyond the fundraising, the day was a great opportunity to connect, share and promote sustainability through reuse for such a meaningful and inclusive event.

On Thursday, May 29, the inter-establishment final of the AAFEBS reading aloud competition entitled 'Lève ta voix! took place.

Nearly 70 classes from CP to Terminale signed up to share and promote the French language through texts chosen by the students from Francophone literature.

It was a beautiful moment of reading and interpretation with texts that touched us, made us laugh, attentive readers, concerned and anxious to animate their reading with voice, gaze and body.


Thank you to the AAFEBS, which, through its very existence, allows French/English bilingual schools to get to know each other and exchange ideas, particularly during its annual conference. A huge thank you and congratulations to the teachers who supported their students in preparing for this event. Here are the winners of this fabulous second edition!

🎮 Nuit du Code 2024 – Mission accomplie pour nos 1ères NSI !

Last Wednesday, six 1ère NSI students embarked on an intense adventure: Code Night (https://www.nuitducode.net).

For 6 hours non-stop (well-deserved pizza break! 🍕), they coded, tested, corrected, drew, imagined… to create two complete video games in Python.

🕹️ Everything was designed from A to Z: graphic universe, game rules, movement mechanics, animations...

Even though the games must remain secret for now (international competition obliges 🤫), I can already say that they are amazing!

This project allowed students to put into practice many of the concepts covered this year in NSI:

✔️ event programming,

✔️ team project management,

✔️ algorithms,

✔️ data structures,

✔️ and above all: creativity and perseverance.

A big congratulations to these 6 budding coders for their motivation, their seriousness… and their humor! 🙌

🎭 Clap de fin pour Notre-Dame de Paris : une troupe exceptionnelle sous les projecteurs

After several months of work, passionate rehearsals, and shared emotions, the curtain fell one last time on Notre-Dame de Paris, our musical of the year. The final performance lived up to the incredible adventure we experienced: vibrant, moving, carried by a talented troupe.

Powerful voices, meticulous staging, boundless energy: our students once again demonstrated the full extent of their creativity, commitment, and team spirit. From backstage to onstage, a true artistic family was formed, touching the audience's hearts with every performance.

We would like to extend our warmest congratulations to the entire troupe—actors, singers, dancers, musicians, technicians, costume designers, and set designers—as well as all the teaching and technical teams who contributed to this project. Your passion brought the magic of Notre-Dame to life with intensity and generosity.

A huge congratulations to everyone! And see you very soon for new artistic adventures…

Parcoursup

Next important steps in the Parcoursup procedure for your child’s post-baccalaureate orientation.

Ranking of wishes: From June 6 to 10 inclusive, your child will have to rank the wishes they have expressed in order of preference. This ranking is essential, as it determines the order in which admission offers will be made. We encourage you to support your child in this reflection so that they can make informed choices adapted to their orientation project: reread the files for each course together, take into account the admission criteria, location, and opportunities, and rank the wishes according to their true preferences. Complementary admission phase: Starting June 11, the complementary admission phase allows students who have not received an offer or who wish to express new wishes to apply for the remaining places in certain courses. This phase is open to all candidates, whether they have already accepted an offer or not. It does not replace it. It is possible to make up to 10 new requests for courses with vacant places.

The 2025 Student Life Guide for Year 12 students entering higher education in France is now available.

Financial aid, housing, health, catering, sports and culture, integration, commitment... all topics are covered in a practical manner in this document, which systematically refers to authorized sources to begin the process or obtain the most precise information. Find it here.
