As LCC’s Centenary winds to a close, the theme of change came to the forefront in the Senior School’s reflections on the year. However, change is not always synthetic and unpremeditated. We can always be better prepared for change by having ourselves grounded in a solid knowledge of the past. Sometimes, change is quite cyclical.

Several of LCC’s P.E. classes have dabbled in one of the School’s long-lost traditions – Cricket. Cricket is a bat and ball game played on large fields with a rectangular “pitch” in the centre. LCC’s fields had a cricket pitch into the early 1990s. In recent years, a resurgence in the game has occurred, with some modifications, introducing it as a viable indoor sport.

Several LCC P.E. classes have been given a quick, classroom history lesson and introduction to the rules using YouTube, then brought to the gym for a modified game. To date, three grade 9 classes and two grade 7 classes have played.

As LCC hits its second 100 years running, we will continue to keep a strong respect for our traditions and history, in order to make the future better.
