Congratulations to La Côte International School children paddling teams "The Incredibles" and "Paddle Power" who won both 1st and 2nd place at this year's Paddle for CancerSupport Dragonboat festival on the Lac de Joux!

Well done to our Junior Paddlers, who flew the LCIS flag with pride and secured both 1st and 2nd place at this very important annual cancer awareness and fundraising event.

In the adult race, the LCIS parents boat stole the show setting 2 record times in the earlier races and making it to the podium in 3rd place - not to mention they won the overall fastest race time set of the entire day!

Well done to the LCIS Parents boat: Phyllis, Bronwyn, Nicolina, Carey, Felix, Mark, Karsten, Andreas, Helen, Chris, Ryan, Gerald, Stephen, Corbett, Sarah, Swithun and Gary

Our staff boat showed great determination improving their race time at every turn and securing 7th place against stiff competition.
A huge thank you to all the staff, students and families who came to support our teams at the race for this very worthy cause - what an amazing day!
Last but by no means least, thank you to Kennix for the beautiful photos of the kids Paddle Power team on the water, to our Parent Association for bringing so many parents together and making sure everything went smoothly, and to our Teachers lead team: Victoria, Hannah and Louise for doing such a wonderful job - well done everyone!
