The school was established at Rose Bay public school on September 29, 1965. An agreement between the NSW Department of Education and the Association of French Parents (APEF) followed on May 13, 1966. It moved to Bondi on August 11, 1970, with two classes for 53 students led by Mr. and Mrs. Macé. In March 1988 the school became bilingual and renovations began for a new Maroubra location at 88 Cooper Street; in 2003 Lycée Condorcet relocated to Maroubra with AEFE support, and all class levels were accredited by 2004. The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2019 and inaugurated new eco-friendly buildings and a refreshed logo in 2022.
Vie Scolaire supports students outside class with a Senior Education Advisor (CPE) and a team of Education Assistants (AEDs). The AEDs supervise students during recess and lunch, enforce safety and school rules, and follow up on absences and late arrivals. They support the CESC Health Education and Citizenship Committee by organizing prevention sessions on health and citizenship topics such as addictions, harassment, sexuality, road safety and first aid training. The Senior Education Advisor, Yacine Bachtli, oversees the Students' House, coordinates the CVL – Senior High Student Life Council, and acts as a link between students, families and the school. Pronote is used by all to access class schedules, progress and the canteen daily menu, while NSW Transport provides a dedicated school bus service for LCS students with Opal Card arrangements.
