As part of the global network of French international schools, we are committed to academic excellence, cultural diversity and preparing globally minded future citizens.
We are seeking an experienced governance, risk and audit professional to join our Board and chair the Audit and Risk Management Committee (ARMC). This volunteer position is ideal for a senior executive, board director, audit partner, risk leader or governance professional who is passionate about education and looking to contribute their expertise to a purpose-driven organisation.

As a Director, you will also contribute to the Board's broader strategic oversight of the School.
Directors are appointed for a two-year term (renewable). LCS's Board is highly engaged and hands-on; this is a substantive role that calls for genuine time, judgement and independence - not a ceremonial appointment.

Demonstrated enterprise risk management expertise, ideally including risk framework design and risk appetite setting
Financial literacy sufficient to interpret financial statements, budgets and audit reports at Board level

Why join LCS
This is a unique opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to one of Australia's most respected international schools, working alongside a highly engaged Board and a newly appointed Principal and Business Director. The School is currently strengthening its governance framework to match its scale, and this role sits at the centre of that work.
