Congratulations to our 6^th Year Students who graduated from Nenagh College today. Thank you to Year Heads Ms. Treacy & Ms. Maharaj, Ms. Dillon & Ms. Quigley for organising the ceremony and Ms. Tierney for organising the music. Best of luck to all the graduates in their leaving cert and all future endeavours.

Ms O Keeffe the 5LCA co-ordinator took her students on an end of year trip to Limerick, where they all thoroughly enjoyed a fun filled day.

Students took part in bowling, activities and a buffet lunch in the Jasmine Palace.  Andrea and Kedra were delighted to win the bowling as a result of some very high scores.

Students worked very hard during the year and decided to use the income from their enterprise salon day and their darts tournament to subsidise their end of year trip. Well done to all of them who have worked so hard over the year.

The Amber Committee meet every week at lunch and we use this time to discuss issues relevant to the students lives. Being well and working to maintain mental health is our objective. We tease out concerns and relax in a quiet space in room 46B. Last Tuesday we decided to go on our annual walk, we went to Centra where we could buy a treat and then go and relax  in the Community Garden. Ms O Keeffe would like to thank the group for their attendance all year.

 

Our Agricultural Science students completed the safe tractor skills course in glorious sunshine on Monday last. Tom Duffy from the Farm Relief Services Roscrea delievered the theory and practical aspects of tractor safety to the students on site at Nenagh College. Thanks to Sean Kinnane from Abbey Machinery for providing us with the tractor and tank for the students to practice their driving skills. This certified course was part funded by the school as it’s commitment to raising awareness among the students on farm safety.

 

Our TY Students recently took part in 2 Day Workshops with the Song School production company where they wrote, recorded and learned to mix their own songs.

All students had a brilliant time working in groups with the Song School Team, learning about all the elements of music production.

Sit back, put your head phones in and enjoy an eclectic mix of tunes on topics such as Summer, Farming, Heartbreak, Demons and the never ending debate of Pineapple on Pizza!!

Well done to Luke O’Connor, Ronan Dillon & Robert Kenneally who played with the Silvermines U14 Soccer Team on Saturday to win the league

Nenagh College would like to thank all of the staff and students who took part in the Lip Sync Battle. Over 60 students participated in front of their fellow students, family and friends. €1100 was raised for the Living Links Foundation and €200 for Down Syndrome Ireland.

Well done to all of the students at Nenagh College who received awards due to their outstanding achievements and contributions to our school throughout the year.
