​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.

​Houses
In Lusk Community College we have a House system in place with 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, Ashe, Markievicz 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.

House Captains 
Lusk Community College provides the opportunity for Senior Cycle students to apply for House Captain positions. The role of House Captain is highly respected and a very important role in the school. The goal for an aspiring House Captain is to create a culture of collaboration, inclusiveness and community within their own ‘house’ and across the wholeschool in their role throughout the year. Captains are expected to establish and maintain the highest standards of behaviour, attitude at all times providing a positive role model for all students. House Captains are appointed in Transition Year or 5th Year to undertake the various roles of responsibilities. Our House Captains take a lead role in orgainising ‘ We are Lusk CC week’.
