Overview of student supports
Deputy Principal, Year Head & Tutor
Each year group has a designated Deputy Principal, Year Head & class tutor who is dedicated to the welfare of the students in their class/year group. Students get to meet with their tutor every day at tutor time.
Additional Educational Needs Team / Learning Support
We have an extremely dedicated, qualified team of Special Education Teachers and Special Needs Assistants who work tirelessly to support the teaching and learning process for our students with additional educational needs. The team work together with students, parents and teachers to ensure these students thrive and reach their potential during their time here in Lusk Community College, not just academically but personally and socially.
Guidance Team
Our guidance team endeavour to create a safe, caring and supportive environment for our students. They work alongside the Senior Management Team, Care Team, Year Heads, Tutors, AEN Team and all teachers in the school. Their roles are vast and cover numerous areas, including personal and social counselling, educational counselling and vocational/career counselling. They help our students to make informed choices in the personal, social, educational, and vocational areas of their lives. They also offer one to one support to students who want to discuss personal or vocational issues in a confidential, non-judgemental setting. We engage with students from First to Sixth Years in a variety of ways, across a wide range of experiences which including the following:
Mentor Programme
This is an additional support programme for all our 6th year students. It works on the basis of staff members volunteering their time to offer support and guidance to mentor a small group 4-5 students. There are a set number of meetings throughout the year based on a variety of themes including motivation and encouragement, goal setting, study skills, resilience and wellbeing, researching future career paths. Mentors use a support manual which students keep throughout the year.
