The motto of the college ‘Aontas’ meaning Unity, encapsulates the ethos of the college. Our fundamental belief is that school, and in particular the work and the activities involved, should be a pleasant as well as an enriching experience. We therefore lay total emphasis on the school as a community – of students, staff and parents – working in harmony. We consider that everyone has an absolute right to work and develop in a happy atmosphere free from unnecessary stress and tension.
We, the educational partners (students, staff, parents/guardians) of Lucan Community College are committed to being an active learning community with sound educational principles, where each person is valued and respected for who they are.
Within a supportive, safe and friendly environment, we foster collaboration and promote equality and tolerance as preparation for life and involvement in society.
As a community, we provide a free and fair education through broad, balanced yet diverse curricular and co-curricular activities endeavouring to meet the needs of all. We encourage commitment through participation, coupled with the promotion of honesty, integrity, self-discipline and self-worth in everything we do, so that the full potential of all is developed.
Seo ráiteas misin ó na páirtnéirí oideachasúla i gColáiste Phobail Leamhcáin (na mic léinn, an fhoireann, na tuismitheoirí/caomhnóirí). Tá sé d’aidhm againn pobal gníomhach oideachais a chur chun cinn, bunaithe ar sháinluachanna oideachasúla. Cuirimid romhainn chomh maith meas agus urraim a léiriú do gach ball den phobal seo.

Mar phobal, cuirimis oideachas saor in aisce ar fáil chomh maith le hoideachas cóir. Déanaimis é seo trí éagsúlacht gníomhaíochtaí curaclaim agus seach-churaclaim a chur ar fail, a fhreastalaíonn ar raon leathan gnéithe d’oideachas iomlán an duine, chun iarracht a dhéanamh freastal ar riachtanais dhifriúla na ndaltaí.
Cothaímis tiomantas trí rannpháirtíocht, i dteannta le cur chun cinn ionracais, macántachta agus féinmheasa i ngach rud a dtugaimid faoi, sa dóigh is go ndéantar freastal ar fhorbairt cách.
