EDITO

Dear Parents,

The LCS is delighted to participate in the Asia Pacific Swimming Championship (CAPN), which will take place in Shanghai from May 13th to 17th, 2024. This edition will bring together students from 10 AEFE schools in the Asia Pacific region. It's an incredible opportunity for our students to travel, broaden their horizons, and forge new friendships. 

We are also thrilled to discover the musical Les Misérables on Saturday, April 6th. We already congratulate our 26 actors as well as the pedagogical and technical team who have accompanied them in this great adventure.

Thank you, have a great week.

REMINDER : Drop off, Pick-up and late arrivals

Dear Parents,

As the school year progresses, we would like to take a moment to remind everyone of our school's pick-up and late arrival rules.

These rules are in place to ensure the safe and efficient operation of our school.

Pick-up rules: :

  • Pick-up areas: Please report to reception on arrival. 
  • Notification of appointments: If you need to collect your child because of an appointment scheduled during school hours, please send an email to the teachers and Vie Scolaire (absences.primaire@condorcet.com.au) at least 24 hours in advance. This will allow us to anticipate and be able to return your child to you in time.
  • No pick-up service is available during the lunch break: 
    PS / MS: between 11.30am and 1pm
    CE2 / CM1 / CM2: between 11.30am and 12.45pm
    GS / CP/ CE1: between 12.15pm and 1.30pm
  • Morning appointments: If your child has a morning appointment, please drop him/her off at school after the appointment. This will minimise disruption to the classroom.
  • Afternoon appointments: If your child has an afternoon appointment, please do not bring him/her back to school after the appointment. This helps to maintain a coherent learning environment.
  • Form to sign: When you collect your child for an appointment, please sign the form at reception.

Late arrival:

  • Punctuality is important: it is essential that pupils arrive at school on time. If you know that your child will be late due to unforeseen circumstances, please inform the school and teachers as soon as possible. This will allow us to make the necessary adjustments.Please note the email address for primary pupils: absences.primaire@condorcet.com.au
  • Procedure: When you arrive late at school, please sign the paper with your child's name at reception. After signing, please wait for a member of staff to collect your child. By following these guidelines, we can ensure a safe and orderly environment for all our students. If you have any questions or concerns about pick-ups or delays, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Thank you for your cooperation.

Vaccination Y10 on the 5th of April

NSW Health will come to our school on Monday, April 5, 2024 to offer Y10 students the opportunity to receive their vaccinations.

In Y10, students are offered a free vaccine against Meningococal ACWY. The vaccine will only be administered at school if consent has been received from parents.

Comment donner son consentement:

To fill out the online consent form for your child's school vaccinations, please visit: https://nswhealth.service-now.com/school .

Follow the steps to log in to your existing Service NSW account. If you or your child does not have a Medicare health insurance card, consent can still be given through a paper consent form. As many of our students are from overseas and do not have a Medicare health insurance card, we will give all of our students a paper copy of the consent form on Monday March 25, 2024, as well as an email to parents.

This consent form will need to be returned to the infirmary before Thursday April 4, 2024. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Cooking Workshops – Two special cooking workshops exclusively for LCS

The Nurtured Table offers cooking workshops for students aged 16 and over during the April school holidays. Led by Grace Entry, a qualified chef with a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutrition and Exercise – and a mother of two.

Designed to help prepare graduating students for independent university life, the classes emphasise healthy eating habits through balanced, nourishing meals – not diets. Classes are held from 10am-1pm and includes lunch. For more information and to book, please visit https://thenurturedtable.com/

Behind the Scenes of Les Misérables... Part 5

Looking forward to seeing you all on April 6th at the LCS hall here's a glimpse of Nadia Guérin's work, in charge of costumes for the Les Misérables troupe. For the past 6 months, Nadia has been meticulously dressing the 27 actors, big and small, for each scene of the show: at the prison, at the factory, at the inn, on the barricade, at the hospital, at the wedding! A huge hats off to this exceptional seamstress who never stops finding original and effective solutions to the many challenges of this adventure. Come and admire her creations, her findings, and her great talent on Saturday, April 6th at 6 p.m.! Join the barricade!
