Well done to our 1st and 2nd year girls soccer team who played Borrisokane today

Well done to our TY students on their trip to Croke Park and Google. Students were given a tour of Croke Park and they learned a lot about the history of it too. They also got to do the skyline tour. They then enjoyed a tour of Google Headquarters in the afternoon. A great day was had by all!!

Congratulations to our 5th year Art Student who came 3rd in the ARTiculation Tipperary Competition organised by Clonmel Museum.

Well done to 1st year student Micheál Moylan who came 3rd in the 600m minor Munster Schools Championships.

This week from 1.10pm to 1.20pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, staff and students at Nenagh College will be taking part in the ‘Drop Everything and Read’ Initiative. Students are invited to bring in books, magazines or newspapers of their choice to read for 10 minutes. Students can also borrow a book from the school library which will be open at break times. We believe that developing a love for reading will help foster student’s imagination, creativity and confidence. Reading helps expand our use of vocabulary and language skills in all subjects. It is a simple form of stress reduction and escapism which can help to improve mental health. This shared experience will promote a thirst for knowledge and develop an interest in different cultures and experiences in both fiction and non-fiction.

Well done to Nenagh College Art Teacher Edwina Knight who was exhibiting her work at the National Dive Show in the Abbey Court over the weekend.

 

 

The very best of luck to Amal Johnson who is representing Nenagh College in our first entry to the ARTiculation Art Competition. Amal will deliver a speech on his chosen painting ‘The Taking Of Christ’ by Caravaggio. The competition will run next Wednesday March 6th in the County Museum Clonmel. Thank you to Amal’s English Teachers Ms. McKenna and Ms. Slattery for supporting this Art Competition entry.
