A message From LCS
Dear Parents,
LCS shines on the big screen: the students who participated in the SF3 short film workshops this year had the chance to attend a screening "soirée" organised by the Alliance Française at the Cinéma Chauvel and to see their films on the big screen.
Speaking of culture, we remind you that you can visit the IB exhibition at Coma Gallery tonight between 5pm and 8pm.
Tomorrow evening is the Seniors’ Ball in the school theatre; we wish the students a wonderful evening.
Finally, on behalf of the entire school community, I would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the volunteers, LCS staff and especially to the members of the Parents & Friends Association who contributed to the success of the School Fête. Your collective efforts made this event a fantastic experience that we will remember for years to come.
On another note, the Newsletter now contains a dynamic archiving system allowing you to search for an old article by keyword, so we will no longer need to list all the contents in the subject line of the email.
Have a nice week and a great long weekend.
Thank you, have a great week.
