Student Leadership in Lusk CC
In Lusk Community College, we believe that to continue to grow as a successful school with a great spirit and links to the community it is important to have strong student leaders. Students must have a sense of ownership and a voice in a school. It is with this in mind that we have put the following Leadership structure in place. It is early days and we are constantly developing, learning and changing, but with the dedicated students already involved we are making great progress.
Head Boy/Head Girl
We have a Head Boy and Head Girl who are nominated and chosen in May of each school year. They represent their school and are students who have made outstanding contributions throughout their time in school to the school community and fellow students.
Our current Head Boy is Daragh Ferguson
Our current Head Girl is Sophie Gibbons
Our deputies are Patrick Roche and Faye Moody
Houses
In Lusk Community College we have a House system in place with 5 Houses named after iconic leaders in areas of science, politics and the arts which we feel represent the broad range of interests in the school. The Houses are called, Mandela, Bronte, Picasso, Einstein and Curie.
The purpose of a House system is to help create a sense of community in a large school. We have Inter House Competitions throughout the year and each House has two/three House Captains from the senior students in the school who are the voice of each House and help to foster the community spirit and encourage participation in competitions.
The current House Captains are:
Bronte
Sean Naughton
Emma Brennan
Mandela
Emma Barry
Jakub Wojtowicz
Suzi Signe Tchamegni
Picasso
Ben Murphy
Rafael Kramer
Curie
Megan Lenehan
Tanya O’Conner Collins
