Training will continue Fridays in the PE Hall at 1:30pm. Anyone not on the panels is more than welcome to come to the trainings or let Mr Gratton know they are interested.

National Ploughing Championships 2025

Our Transition Year and agriscience students had an unforgettable day exploring all things agricultural, tech and tradition at the National Ploughing Championships.

We left school at 8am for a day trip to Screggan, Co. Offaly for the National Ploughing Championships where plough men and women come from all over the Island to compete in their skilled work.

Students explored a wide variety of exhibits, from the latest in farm machinery to vintage equipment, with some competitors even harnessing traditional workhorses to plough the fields—offering a vivid glimpse of rural Irish life a century ago.

There were many trade and information stands all over the large site, displaying the businesses and products which they created themselves

These proved especially valuable for Transition Year students currently developing their own mini-companies, while Agriscience students gained insight into farming innovation.

The students completed a ‘selfie challenge’ to capture the array of exhibits and experiences during the day. Great experiences, big smiles and mucky boots!

📢 Welcome to our new TY IT Technicians! 💻

Last Thursday, two of our TY students (Christy Flury and Joshua Whiteford) began their work experience placement as IT Technicians here at Nenagh College. 👩‍💻👨‍💻

As our Digital Leaders, they will be assisting with stock taking, computer updates, and supporting the smooth running of IT across the school. Their contribution is already proving invaluable to our day-to-day operations.

Well done to both students – we’re excited to see all you will achieve! 🚀

Lunchtime Gym

Students have been making the most of their lunch break by getting a workout in at the gym 🏋️‍♀️.

Students have the opportunity each week on a Tuesday to go through a guided gym session with Mr. Forde
