We also invite you to participate in the next edition of the French Christmas Market by LCS, on Saturday, December 13 from 10 a.m. (free entry).
More than 100 artisans and creators, a gastronomic space with local flavors and a Jazz Band will await you to celebrate the French holiday spirit together.
While waiting to meet you, we invite you to discover in this biannual post, our sports competitions and inter-school exchanges in Sydney with Reddam House School and in the Asia-Pacific region via the AEFE. We are also proud and happy to present to you some of our artistic projects led by our students, such as the recent adaptation of Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo by the LCS troupe.
We very much hope to welcome you soon and introduce you to the excellence, energy, creativity and friendliness that animate our campus.
Looking forward to meeting you soon,

SPORT
CAPN, the major swimming competition of the AEFE Asia-Pacific Zone.
The LCS can be proud of the numerous victories won by its swimming team, which each year wins prestigious trophies as well as a gold medal.
Beyond the sporting performance, these meetings offer our students the opportunity to travel, discover new cultures and forge lasting friendships with students from French high schools throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
The same competitions are held every year in other disciplines, including football, badminton and rugby.
Inter-school exchanges: a wonderful collaboration between LCS and Reddam House School
In October 2023, the idea of a school exchange between Reddam House and Lycée Condorcet Sydney (LCS) was born.
The aim was to offer students an authentic French experience – language, culture, friendships – without the costs or constraints of a trip abroad, while allowing French students to immerse themselves in English and Australian school life.
The principals, Dave Pitcairn and Nicolas L’Hotellier, welcomed this project with enthusiasm and proposed adding a sporting dimension.
A pilot program in 2024 with 9th grade students combined classes at both schools and concluded with friendly competitions.
The success of this initiative paves the way for the second official exchange in 2025.
