À LA UNE

Dear parents, dear students,

What a joy to see you again for this new school year! After the renovation of the Anzac courtyard in 2024, we are pleased to present to you in 2025 a fully modernized Kindergarten courtyard: play and relaxation spaces, designed for the well-being of children, with large shaded areas to protect them from the sun.

The LCS thus continues its commitment to improving its living spaces each year, to offer our students an ever more pleasant and fulfilling environment.

Excellent back-to-school week to all!

Looking back at the SurfAid Cup Bondi

"Thanks to the exceptional support of LCS surfers during this event, we are happy to share some concrete results of your generosity.

  • 45 revitalized health posts in Rote (Indonesia): now staffed by local volunteers for health checks, nutrition workshops, and community cooking classes.

  • Mama Paulina, a dedicated nurse, is training the next generation of volunteers.

  • Martinus in Sumba, a young farmer, is increasing his income thanks to SurfAid's pilot farms, showing that agriculture can open up new opportunities.

These initiatives demonstrate the lasting impact of your support: improving nutrition, building resilience, and enabling families to thrive. A big thank you to everyone who contributed!
