Nenagh College is delighted to announce that we are a Droichead school. The Droichead process is an integrated professional induction framework for newly qualified teachers (NQTs). The main objective of the Droichead process is to support the professional learning of the NQTs during the induction phase, thus laying the foundations for subsequent professional growth and learning for the next phase of their careers.

Ms. Deirdre McKenna and Ms. Catherine O Keeffe have undertaken to train and act as mentors for our NQT cohort into the future.

Nenagh College celebrated their annual French Week with a range of activities to promote the language and raise the students’ cultural awareness. Students took part in French quizzes and a poster competition, which was judged by Art teacher Leonie Beirne. French cuisine was available to sample and past pupil William Meagher returned with his ever popular crepe machine. The week was rounded off with a French-themed non-uniform day. Earlier in the year French students also enjoyed a visit from French Theatre for schools, where some students took part in the play.
