5LCA went on a walk to Nenagh Community Garden as part of Leisure and Recreation.

First years created mini companies based around enjoyable food as part of Mental Health Awareness Week, they produced crepes, cookies, smoothies, buns etc each day during break and lunch time. They contributed 10% of their profit to Pieta House.  Well done to all of them.

Nenagh College, in partnership with the ICS Foundation and funded by the Department of Communication, Climate Action and Environment, hosted a Digital Skills for Citizens Computer Course over five weeks which finished on Tuesday 20th March.  Participants commended the skills that have learned which allow them to become more active on-line citizens. The course is designed to give people the confidence, motivation and skills to take their first steps online, so that they can play their part in an increasingly digital world. During the course, the attendees developed their emailing skills, used social media apps and on-line government services in addition to researching the internet. It was a very enjoyable course for all involved. Congratulations to all participants.

Nenagh College Business teacher, Catherine O’Keeffe, has been selected by National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) to advise on assessment work in Junior Cert Business Studies. Ms. O’Keeffe submitted some samples of her student’s work for publication on the NCCA website.

The publication of the work, by Nenagh College students, will enable the NCCA to identify and demonstrate the possibilities and approaches to Classroom based assessments and are intended to identify and indicate national standards. These examples, of Nenagh College students’ work, will be used by teachers, across the country, as part of their professional development.

School Principal, Damien Kennedy, acknowledged Ms. O’Keeffe’s work in this area and congratulated both her and her students’ for the selection of the work, as exemplars of best practice on a national scale. He further noted that the enthusiastic engagement of all Nenagh College teaching staff with new Junior Cycle was reflected in this recognition.
