Nenagh College is continuing with the internationally recognised Big Brother Big Sister mentoring programme, which is designed to foster supportive friendships and inspire young people towards brighter futures. The initiative is coordinated within the school by Career Guidance Counsellor, Ms. Maharaj.
The programme pairs first-year students with Transition Year volunteer mentors, creating professionally supported, one-to-one relationships that encourage confidence, belonging, and personal growth.
During their first sessions, Nenagh College’s new first-year cohort thoroughly enjoyed connecting with their mentors through a variety of engaging activities. The programme featured pair work, team-building games, and creative challenges, all aimed at helping students get to know one another in a positive and relaxed environment.
The programme is packed with fun activities, pair work, and team-building games designed to help everyone get to know each other better. They enjoyed lively “getting to know you” activities and creative challenges. There was plenty of laughter, energy, and positive interaction throughout. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to build new friendships, settle into school life, and feel supported as they begin their first month and indeed their journey in Nenagh College. Building strong connections.
