Stand Up Week

Stand Up Week

Stand Up Week is a nationwide anti-bullying campaign in support of LGBTI+ students and is a campaign which LCC is proud to be a part of. In Irish schools LGBTI+ students experience twice the levels of self-harm, 3 times the levels of suicide attempts and over 73% express fears for their safety in school.

Stand Up Week was initiated as a response to this and is an attempt to let our student body know that in LCC, you will be judged on the content of your character and not your gender, race or sexual orientation. Education at LCC has always gone beyond the academic. We are committed to a holistic, inclusive education programme that celebrates the diversity of our student body.

We strive to empower our students to make informed choices, tackle problems and to equip them with the skills necessary to succeed both in and out of the classroom. It is in this spirit that we participate in Stand Up Week.
