The Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) programme will be taught to Junior Cycle students starting from 28th February 2023 at Lucan Community College. The lessons will be taught as part of the Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE) Programme and will take place during six SPHE lessons over six consecutive weeks.
The aims of the Relationships and Sexuality Education Programme are as follows:
To help young people understand and develop friendships and relationships
- To promote an understanding of sexuality
- To promote a positive attitude towards one’s sexuality and in one’s relationships with others
- To promote knowledge of and respect for reproduction
- To enable young people to develop attitudes and values towards their sexuality in a moral, spiritual and social framework.
Our school recognises that you have the primary responsibility for the personal development of your child, and we would like to support you in this role.
If you have any queries in relation to the Junior Cycle RSE Programme please contact the school through admin@lucancc.ie. Otherwise, we will assume that you understand the aims of the Programme, and you are satisfied for your son/daughter to partake in the programme.

Public Consultation on Special Educational Needs Provisions
The Department of Education is undertaking a review of the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs (EPSEN) Act 2004.
The purpose of this review is to provide assurance that the law that governs the provision of education for children with special educational needs is adequate. This is important, in order to protect the interests of the children concerned and their families, and to ensure that the State can make plans to provide for appropriate education for children with special educational needs.

Lucan Community College Consultation on Catchment Area for Admissions Policy
Due to current high number of applicants to the college, we are conducting a review of our catchment area in order to reduce the number of applicants in Category B and therefore increase the likelihood of Category B applicants (first in family, attending a priority primary school and living within our defined catchment area) gaining a place in Lucan Community College.
We would like to gather your feedback on this matter and would appreciate it if you could complete the following short questionnaire:
Lucan Community College Consultation Questionnaire on Catchment Area
The questionnaire will close next Friday 2nd December 2022.
Thank you in advance.
