Lucan Community College
Think Languages Week: Our students enjoyed an action-packed week with activities from the Maynooth University trip, Polish workshops, IFI films, and St. Brigid's Cross making, to the National Quiz, boules, assistant-led sessions, and Irish Sign Language! A brilliant way to explore new cultures, try new languages, and have lots of fun along the way!
Student Council trip to the Helix: Some members of the Lucan CC Student Council attended the Child Talks 2025 event in the Helix, organised by the Ombudsman for Children. The students heard young people share their experiences on wellbeing, equality, and the importance of being listened to in school and wider society. It gave our council members a clearer sense of how student voice can shape meaningful change. They will bring these insights back to support ongoing work within our own school community. Thanks to Mr. Murphy and Ms. Collins for accompanying the students.
1st year Boys Soccer Match: Well done to the 1st Year Boys football team who had a fantastic 4-2 win against Edmund Rice College Castleknock. The lads showed great resilience to come from 2-1 behind to score three goals in the final 15 minutes to secure a deserved 4-2 win. Goals were scored by Adam Murtagh Walshe, Odhran Donohue and captain Ryan Breslin.
Past Pupil Success: Well done to former student Daniel Grant who played a starring role in Shamrock Rovers securing a league and cup double this season. Daniel was an integral part of the victorious double winning Lucan CC senior football team in 2017/18 and he has continued to forge a fantastic career in football ever since. We would like to wish Daniel and Shamrock Rovers the best of luck as they try to qualify for the knockout stages of the Europa Conference League over the coming weeks.

Past pupil Sophie McIntye and Siobhan Birnie along with selector on the team and teacher Ms. Farrell brought in the Brendan Martin cup and took part in a Q&A session with students that had a focus on the girls journey into the Dublin team, match preparation, what it's like to play for Dublin, balancing a busy training schedule around their busy lives, ways to combat the drop off rate of teenage girls in sports and also how it feels to be role models for young girls in the county. A massive thank you to Sophie and Siobhan for coming into us.
