"I am a proud student of Lanesboro Community College, it is a fantastic school, not just academically, but is a school that caters to children of all talents whether it be in sports, arts, debating and much more. Being a small school helps to create a real sense of friendship as everyone knows each other's name which allows us to have excellent relationships with both our teachers and our fellow classmates."

I used this wonderful experience at Mullingar VTOS as part of my journey to grow and learn

"I am grateful to the staff of LCFE as if it wasn’t for the staff helping me throughout the year, and going out of their way to make sure I was working to the best of my ability, I would not have achieved the good results and those CAO points that were my stepping stone to Maynooth. I have always said it to this day, that LCFE is the reason for where I am today in my education, and I will always be grateful."

I really enjoyed doing the course at Mullingar VTOS. Tutors are very friendly and help you as much as possible. There was a good atmosphere in the classroom.
