Lucan Community College

Addams Family Success: Our TY students just completed a 3-night rendition of The Addams Family, and what a roaring success it was! The performances were packed with fun, laughs, fantastic songs, and brilliant singing throughout.

The effort and commitment shown over the last six months was truly exceptional, and the talent on stage was unmatched. There were simply too many fantastic characters and performances to name them all individually, but every single student played their part in making the show such a memorable occasion.

A huge thank you to Mr Murphy, Ms Corrigan, and Ms Nolan for all their time, dedication, and hard work in bringing the production to life. Their support, guidance, and encouragement helped create something very special for everyone involved. Congratulations to all the cast and crew on an incredible achievement! Pictures here are our students with TD Emer Higgins as she came into the school to wish them all well.

TY Trip to Maynooth: Our TY students recently visited Maynooth University to get a feel for campus life and explore everything the university has to offer. During the visit, students had the chance to learn about the wide range of courses available, discover the many clubs and societies on campus, and explore the different buildings and facilities.

The trip gave students a great insight into university life and the opportunities that come with it. One of the highlights of the day was even getting to meet the famous campus cat!

2nd Year Trip to Germany: Our 2nd Year students had a fantastic trip to Germany, where they enjoyed a brilliant few days exploring, learning, and getting out of the classroom.

During the trip, students visited the stunning Cologne Cathedral, toured BayArena, explored the beautiful city of Heidelberg, and enjoyed plenty of excitement at Phantasialand. They also visited the historic Marksburg Castle and took in the scenery on a relaxing Rhine cruise.

The students had an amazing experience making memories together while discovering so many new places and experiences. A huge thank you to all of the teachers who accompanied the trip and helped make it such a success.

Minor Camogie: Hard luck to our minor camogie team who were narrowly beaten in their championship final last week. They had a fantastic year and did brilliantly to make it all the way to the final. Despite leading at half time they unfortunately came up just short on the day and Manor House. Best of luck to all our students and their clubs in their upcoming Feile competitions and for the summer of camogie ahead.

Tour of Lucan: Last week 4a5 were exploring the Religious history of Lucan village. They met Helen from St. Andrews Church who kindly allowed them inside to view the beautiful stained glass windows. The trip then continued to view the Presbyterian, Methodist and Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary before the students finally had a chance to take a break in the new village centre.

Religion Retreat: The transition year Religion retreats came to an end on Monday with 4a4 and 4a5 on a liturgical and historical pilgrimage through Dublin City.
