Language Scholarships at Nenagh College

tmaguire
A huge thank you to Tipperary ETB who granted our student, Katie Forde, a substantial scholarship towards a Gaeltacht course during the summer.
During the summer holidays, Katie attended a course at Coláisí Chorca Dhuibhne in Dingle, Co.Kerry. Katie got the chance to immerse herself in the Irish language and culture. She participated in classes and a wide range of activities entirely through the medium of Irish. This was a wonderful opportunity which allowed Katie to make fantastic progress in Irish while having fun and making new friends.
Katie shared:
‘At first I was nervous, but by the end, I could have real conversations in Irish. I loved learning songs, dances and traditions and the céilí’s every night were so much fun. I would recommend this opportunity to any and every other student, it helped me grow as a person and improve my Irish massively.’
This Language Scholarship is offered by Tipperary ETB to students in Nenagh College who are studying Irish.

Oskar Wietrzynski Kickboxing Success 

tmaguire

Oskar Wietrzynski Kickboxing Success 

6th Year student, Oskar Wietrzynski, recently participated in and won a Kickboxing title on the 18th of October. It was a Ringshow event sanctioned by Kickboxing Ireland called “Into the West” where Oskar was victorious in the 80kg weight division. 

It was a full contact event as Oskar has turned 18 recently. He fought against and claimed a split decision victory over his 27-year-old opponent, further highlighting Oskar’s talent and exciting future in the sport. 

He also sustained an injury to his shoulder during his fight but showed great determination and resilience to fight through this on his way to victory. 

All of us here at Nenagh College wish Oskar all the best with his Kickboxing career for the future.
