Today, after check out of our hotel, we visited the Cappuchin Crypt which contained the skeletal remains of 3,700 bodies believed to be Capuchin friars buried by their order. We then made our way to the river Tiber where we enjoyed a peaceful boat cruise. After getting a quick bite to eat at Piaza del Popolo, we finally got our last Metro back to our hotel where we collected our bags and made our way to the airport.All of the accompanying teachers Mr Cox, Ms. Clarke, Ms. Knight and Ms. Dillon would like to commend and thank all 34 students for their outstanding behaviour, co-operation and positive attitude throughout the school tour.Thank you to all of the parents, teachers and management at Nenagh College for making Rome 2022 a success.

TY 1:1 Devices
The rollout of 1:1 devices in Nenagh College commenced this academic year, with TYs being the first year group to each have their own device.
The students are enjoying using their Lenovo hybrid laptops. They use them for most classes; for research, for communication, note taking and assessments through teams, for HTML coding and even to play a educational game or two such as kahoot and blooklet.
Rome- Day 3- Pompeii
Today, everyone was up bright and early to hit the road for the Ancient Roman City of Pompeii. The city itself rests in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, a once active volcano. Its most famous eruption took place in the year 79 A.D., when it buried the city of Pompeii under a thick 6 metre carpet of volcanic ash. The city is one of Italy’s most visited attractions and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Our excellent tour guide Mauro brought us to Roman villas, public baths, an amphitheatre, shops, and many residential buildings. After some lunch in Pompeii, we travelled back to Rome where we visited the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain.
Rome- Day 2
After our adventures of touring the city on Friday, we used the Metro Saturday morning to reach Vatican City. Here, we got lunch in a German themed restaurant and then made our way to St. Peter’s Square where we lined up to enter St. Peter’s Basilica. This was followed by free time until our booking to enter the Vatican museum where we saw Raphael’s fresco The School of Athens and the Sistine Chapel with Michaelangelo’s world famous Last Judgement Scene. This was followed by dinner and the metro back to the hotel.
