Arts Week takes over the College
Arts Week took over Lucan Community College for the week before midterm break for 5 successive days. Arts Week is our chance as a school community to celebrate the visual, dramatic and creative arts.
Throughout the week students took part in workshops including Rapping, African Drumming, Animation, juggling, podcasting, song-writing and Drama. They also enjoyed a lunchtime disco provided by 6th year music enthusiasts, Josh Keating and Jack Colgan.
On the Thursday evening, a Variety Show organised by Mr. O’Connor and Miss McLoughlin, showcased a range of talents from the students of Lucan Community College. The standard of talent was incredible. Well done to all involved!
The finale of Arts Week 2018 took place on Friday the 26th October when staff and students participated in a dress-up day. This years theme was Decades, encouraging students and teachers to choose their favourite decade and get creative with their costumes.
Staff and students alike made a fantastic effort with their costumes. Some of the nostalgiac figures included The Tellytubbies, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Carl Frederickson from the film ‘UP’.
Quiz Master Morris did a fantastic job organising the whole school quiz for Friday afternoon and Miss Mc Loughlin did fantastic work organising the great lucan staff Halloween bake off competition.
The Arts Week committee of Ms Gallagher, Ms Howley, Ms Mulhern, Ms Suttle and Miss Horrican would like to thank everyone for their participation in Arts Week. We hope it was an enjoyable week for all.
Legendary Arts Week takes over the college
Arts Week took place and took over Lucan Community College for the week before midterm break for 5 successive days. Arts Week is our chance as a school community to celebrate the visual, dramatic and creative arts.
This academic year coincides with the 30th Anniversary of Lucan Community College and with this milestone occasion our theme for the year is Legacy. Every effort was made to ensure that the theme influenced the proceedings.
Throughout the week students took part in workshops including Rapping, African Drumming, Animation and Hip Hop Dancing. They also enjoyed a lunchtime disco provided by 6th Year student, Luke Cross.
On the Wednesday evening, a Variety Show organised by Mr. O’Connor, Mr. Upton and Mr. Coogan, showcased a range of talents from the students of Lucan Community College. The standard of talent was incredible. Well done to all involved!
This year for Arts Week, the students took part in the creation of a collaborative piece of visual art. Each student created their own miniature self-portrait which will be used to create a mosaic. This is in keeping with the theme of Legacy and will certainly contribute towards each of the students legacy in Lucan Community College. We look forward to its unveiling!
The finale of Arts Week 2017 took place on Friday the 27th October when staff and students participated in a dress-up day. This years theme was an obvious choice – Legends – in keeping with the theme of Legacy. Staff and students alike made a fantastic effort with their costumes with some of the ‘Legends’ including; Steve Jobs, Jesus, Kurt Cobain, Santa Claus, Medusa and even the legendary David Attenborough!
The Arts Week committee of Ms Gallagher, Ms Howley, Ms Mulhern and Ms Suttle, expertly guided by Mr Duffy, would like to thank everyone for their participation in Arts Week. We hope it was an enjoyable week for all.

Annual Arts Week in Lucan CC 2016
What a fantastic ‘artistic’ week – great fun and great learning. All first, second, third and fifth years took part in a full day of workshops throughout the week culminating in our annual Dress Up Day on Friday 28th October. This year workshops concentrated on areas such as pod-casting and music technology but also the usual favourites were back – African and Samba Drumming, Bodhrán playing, Circus Skills and Juggling to name only some.
The Dress-Up day, in appreciation of the centenary of the 1916 Rising, was to form a human tri-colour flag with different years wearing the Green, White and Orange which we attempted in the drizzle before all students and teachers took part in our annual Whole School Table Quiz. Thanks to Mr Ciarán Duffy for organising the week (again) and for all the staff who helped make this week run so smoothly for our wonderful students.
The SpinRowathon was also introduced this year as a charity fundraiser for the Irish Cancer Society and we thank all the students and their families and friends who donated to this great cause. Thanks to Jimmy Stagg from Stagg Cycles Lucan who provided the bikes and rollers for the spinathon.
Enjoy the midterm break.
Arts Week
Our annual arts week was a wonderful success with students participating in a wide range of workshops and activities throughout the week. The student talent show on Monday night showcased our wonderfully musical and artistic students and was expertly and uniquely compered by Deven O’Kearney. Wednesday was our Halloween themed dress-up day – hope not too many Lucanians were traumatized by the ghoulish costumes! We ended with a sponsored ice-bucket challenge with students, teachers and principal braving a soaking in order to raise money for arts week and for Pieta house. Well done to all for your participation and to our Arts week team for organizing events.
Reading Week
Silence fell around LCC at 12.35 every day during Reading Week while students and teachers discovered the pleasure of immersing yourself in a good book. Good luck to all who entered our Halloween poetry competition and well done to those who received certificates for engaging in the Bookworm Summer reading club. Thanks to our English department and literacy team.
