Transition Years braved the wet weather today and ventured to Dublin Zoo. They had a talk about conservation and the important works zoos and different animal charities do to support the conservation of wildlife. Very informative and the Transition Years really enjoyed the day!

This week we are running a Technology week at Nenagh College. We are hoping to raise awareness of the work that goes on in the Technology department and hopefully inspire the next generation of Engineers. We will be running workshops every day at lunch time. We would especailly like to welcome students who do not currently take the subjects to give them a feel for what goes on in the Technology department.

Jessica Whyte from Johnston and Johnston spoke to Ms O Keeffe’s first year business class on Wednesday 8^th March, this was part of enterprise week, which is happening nationally.

Students engaged fully in a question and answer session and learned all about Jessica’s journey via the apprenticeship route to becoming an engineer in J&J. She also explained about the products produced by he company both in Ireland and abroad.

Some of our 1st year Wood Technology students recently completed a Teacup holder. Students were introduced the cross-halving joint & mortise and tenon joint. Students also got trained up on how to use the mortice machine correctly and a range of hand tools during the project.
