PS, Y7, Y8

Being dad of 3 wonderful children, who all started to attend LCS from the petite section, I had the privilege of witnessing the amazing evolution of our school for the past 10 years. Keeping in mind that children and their interests should always remain at the heart of our concerns, I am keen to offer my experience and knowledge of the school's operations and my desire to see the LCS continue to develop harmoniously. As a former school council member and board member, I hope to continue serving the children, the school, and our beautiful community.

Having lived, studied and worked overseas in Sweden, the USA, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, my family and I have decided to make Sydney our home. Openness, diversity, collaboration and understanding are the values we want our children to learn in an international environment to become true global citizens. I work as a senior project manager in the global financial services industry, where interactions across cultures and countries are a daily reality. If you can't find me near the school or in the CBD, you will find me somewhere near the ocean in my role as a volunteer lifesaver in Bondi.

Gil Yuni is an American of Indonesian origin and a francophone by choice. Having earned two master's degrees from INSEAD in Paris and EHL in Lausanne, she immersed herself in French-speaking countries and communities. Her passion for education runs deep in her family. Her grandparents (and two other families) funded the buildings of a prominent primary school in Java, Indonesia, after the independence from the Dutch. That school now educates 800 students each year. Gil loves to serve the community. She has volunteered for UNICEF fundraising in New York (US$ 850,000 raised) and is actively involved with bush care activities in Sydney. Her son, Patrick (CM1), has attended French schools in New York, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Sydney. She appreciates Australian wines as much as French, Austrian and German wines.

I am from Mauritius having arrived in Australia in 2000. My sons, who are in CM2 and CE1 have attended the LCS since PS. Whilst originally from Mauritius, my wife and I seeked a diverse and inclusive learning environment, fostering a high-quality bilingual education for our sons. I have volunteered with various schools in Mauritius, helping to improve students mental and physical wellbeing and eager to contribute to our children’s growth at the LCS. I currently work for an Australian Financial Institution investing and managing the wealth of over 100 Australian families.
