Smart Food Program: Once again this year, LCS achieves good results.
In 2023, an assessment of the daily menus at LCS was conducted, aligned with the principles of the Smart Food Program. These principles encompass nutritional adequacy, diversity of food choices, and incorporate the 2013 Australian dietary recommendations, 'Eat for Health'
The Chartwells 'Smart Food' program adapts this framework at LCS to ensure the availability of healthy food options for all our students.
We are delighted to inform you that the menu has fully complied with the evaluation criteria of the Smart Food Program.
We invite you to check Pronote to view the daily menu offered by our cafeteria for your children.

Wellbeing
The sickbay wishes all the students & parents a great back-to-school and a happy new year !
The infirmary is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Isabel Jacobs and Julie Chappellaz, our nurses, are available for any questions by phone or email at the following email address infirmerie@condorcet.com.au or on Eduka.
We would like to remind you of safety elements for your child and the community within LCS:
- LCS is a NUT-FREE school, from preschool to high school.
- No medication should be placed in your child's backpack. Medications (including over-the-counter and prescription medications) are administered by the school nurse.
- Medications and instructions should be handed over to the nurse in the morning or at the reception and must be in the original pharmacy packaging.
- No medication or treatment will be administered without the explicit written consent of parents and instructions from a physician.
- For safety reasons, any medication found in a student's possession will be confiscated and kept in the infirmary.
- PAP (asthma/allergy/other): Parents of children with a serious medical condition such as asthma, allergy, diabetes, etc., must provide an Individualised Reception Project written by a doctor (contact the nurse for a template). The PAP must be updated annually or based on changes in the student's needs.
- In the event that your child is unwell or exhibits symptoms of illness without complaining, we ask you to keep them at home to prevent the potential spread to other students and to allow for rest.
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
