(Orange) Claxton (Red) Drummond (White) French (Blue) Harper (Green) Heward (Black) Russel (Grey) Woods (Maroon) Webster (Purple, Grade 12 house) It is an annual tradition for the eight houses to engage in "Shourawe", a spirited day dedicated to house competitions such as Tug of war. Prior to 2008, this day was known as "House Wars". However, the barbaric etymology of the term evoked backlash and pressure from parents, causing LCC to reconfigure the letters into a less belligerent anagram. Conversely, the Tug of war event has yet to be renamed as a politically correct euphemism. Throughout the school year students compete in friendly inter-school competitions to raise house points. competitions like the food drive, toy drive, bake sales, pep rallies and more. International Baccalaureate In 2013, LCC began implementing the International Baccalaureate programme for some students in its grade 11 class. They plan on extending the program to grade 12 in 2014. Currently, there are approximately 25 students in the IB programme. Admissions LCC receives subsidies from the provincial government and therefore abides by the French Language Charter, restricting enrolment of students to eligible parties specified in the charter. Athletics LCC instills a strong sense of sportsmanship into its students. Their hockey team is a force to be reckoned with and often goes abroad to tournaments in Ottawa,Toronto and even to the United States. LCC also has a football and soccer team who trains on campus on LCC's very own Saputo Field and Dave Woods Field. In addition, the Velan gyms are home to a very strong basketball team, volleyball team, badminton and, rarely, ping pong tournaments. Not only does LCC boast a newly renovated gym (Tsatas fitness centre) but its newest addition to the athletics facilities is the Outdoor Miller Rink.
