The BBBS group engaging in some walking and playing on a very mild Friday morning. Thanks Mr Cox for accompanying us today.

Today Ms. Hartnett and students from 1C in Nenagh College went on a special school tour. The students have Pen Pals from  Borrisokane and have been writing and receiving Irish letters throughout the year. Today they had an opportunity to meet up for the first time! They went for a nature walk in Portumna Forest Park and thoroughly enjoyed their experience!

Inniú chuaigh Ms.Hartnett agus na daltaí as rang 1C & 1E ó Cóláiste an Aonaigh ar thuras scoile speisialta. Bhí pheannchairde acu ó Buirios Uí Chéin agus bhí siad ag scríobh agus ag fáil litreacha Gaeilge  i rith na bliana. Inniú bhí deis acu ag bualadh le chéile don chéad uair! Chuaigh siad ar siúliód nadúrtha i bPairc na Coille Phort Omna. Bhain sibh an taitneamh as an taithí iontach sin!

 

Our Transition Year students had a hectic schedule last week when taking part in the “TY Health Promotion Week”.

The group engaged in a Digital Detox beginning each day by handing up their phones to Mr. Shrahan in order to highlight the importance of taking time away from the distractions of social media.

Throughout the week, the TY class had informative and inspirational talks including:

• Paralympic Athlete Cillian Dunne – detailing his story of overcoming adversity to become a sporting champion.
• Joe Slattery – staff member of the Task Force on Community Substance Abuse and Misuse.
• Phil Keating from the Marie Keating Foundation with the theme of “Your Health – Your Choice”.

Each afternoon the class took part in unique physical activities including a Mixed Gender soccer match, Wheelchair Rugby and Paint-balling.

To finish off the Week the TY group were brought on a social outing to the Cinema and breakfast in D’Mothers Cafe.

A big Thank You to all our guest speakers and well done to the TY group for their participation!

Nenagh College celebrated their annual French Week with a range of activities to promote the language and raise the students’ cultural awareness. Students took part in French quizzes and a poster competition, which was judged by Art teacher Leonie Beirne. French cuisine was available to sample and past pupil William Meagher returned with his ever popular crepe machine. The week was rounded off with a French-themed non-uniform day. Earlier in the year French students also enjoyed a visit from French Theatre for schools, where some students took part in the play.
