Our 5th Biology students had an incredible hands-on learning experience! They explored habitats in the woods around Birr Education Centre. This experience gave the students a deep appreciation for the intricate balance of ecosystems—observing flora and fauna, using ecology equipment, and studying adaptations all bring textbook concepts to life.
Ms O Keeffe would like to thank the TY students who volunteered to fund raise for Nenagh & District Mental Health Association.  The following students: Kayleigh McAuliffe, Angela Boldescu, Ruari O’Dwyer, Daire Boland, Zoe Parker, Blanca Wrona, Killian Lane and Jack Quinlivan rattled the buckets and helped raise money for a worthy cause. Thanks to everyone who contributed.Â
On Tuesday 06/05/2025, Transition year students and our 5th Spanish exchange students visited Killary Adventure Centre in Leenane, Co. Galway. The overnight trip was a perfect way to highlight what has been achieved this year! What a trip it was! The sun was shining and this added to the amazing experience. It was truly one of the high points of the Transition Year 2024/2025 experience, thus far. Students participated in activities that included the Turf Challenge, Gorge Walking, Climbing Tower and going up the Giant Swing. The experience at Killary is something that the students will remember and talk about for years to come.
Well done to our junior girls’ soccer team who had an incredible run in Tuesday’s blitz! They played through 5 tough games against Coláiste Mhuire, Newport, and Tipp Town – showing serious skill, determination, and teamwork every step of the way.
They made it all the way to the final, where they narrowly missed out in a penalty shootout against Tipp Town.
We’re so proud of the effort and spirit they showed throughout the day — well done girls!
