Extra-Curricular Activities

We are proud to offer a range of extracurricular activities to our students. Our dedicated staff allow for a wide
variety of choice in areas such as sport, music and clubs. We encourage all students to take part in extra-
curricular activities, allowing them the opportunity to flourish as individuals outside of the classroom. The
school prides itself on its participation in, and successes in, various competitions. We have achieved national
awards in Student Enterprise, the Irish Angus Beef Schools Competition, AIB Build-A-Bank Challenge, Mission
Possible; School Achievement Awards, Young Biodiversity Photographer of the Year, Junk Kouture, Cookery
along with regional awards in Student Enterprise and Young Social Innovator to name but a few. Students are
also active in fundraising for numerous charities. Those who benefit from this include: Sosad, Concern, Enable
Ireland, and Autism Ireland. The fundraising is aimed at fostering a sense of Christian responsibility and social
justice in the Students.
Choir is an important part of our extracurricular programme. Our choir enriches many of our annual worship
events such as our service to mark the Beginning of a New School Year, the Harvest Thanksgiving Service, our
Carols by Candlelight Service and at our LC Graduation Service. Choir membership is open to all students.
