Well done to Ahana Maharaj and Katie Whelan (5th Year Students) who baked and hosted the Alzheimer’s Tea Day today in the canteen in aid of the Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland. They are pictured with here with Mary Ryan, representative from the Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland’s Nenagh Branch. This fundraising and awareness event also served as Ahana and Katie’s Action Plan for their LCVP portfolio.
On Friday last, April 28th, Nenagh College celebrated another first, becoming the first school in the area to secure the Active School Flag.
The school has already been awarded three Green Flags for environmental awareness and in 2015 the school was awarded the Amber Flag for mental health awareness.
Speaking at the presentation of the Flag to staff and students, Active Flag committee leader and school PE teacher, Liam Heffernan (pictured below with his committee members) expressed his delight at the School being awarded the Flag. From September, Nenagh College, will be offering PE as a short course to students as part of the new Junior Cycle Course and Liam feels that the work required to achieve the Active Schools Flag will be of enormous benefit to the school when PE is introduced to the Junior Cycle in September.
In order to fulfill the protocols to attain the flag the school needed to engage with the wider community hosting a 5KM Community Walk on March 31st which raised 1,400 Euro for Nenagh Special Summer Camp.
A full week of activities was held at the school in April with every member of staff and all students engaged in a wide variety of activities from Martial Arts, Zumba Dancing, Wheel Chair Basketball and Wake Up, Shake Up work out at registration each morning.
The Flag will be officially unveiled at the Annual Awards Ceremony on May 12th by Brendan Maher, 2016 All-Ireland winning Captain.
Nenagh College hosted the first Darkness Into Light walk last May 2016. Nenagh Darkness Into Light raised over €25,000 for Pieta House.

In February 2017, Cailin Creamer, a first year student in Nenagh College, decided to enter the highly competitive Junior Eurovision. This competition is sponsored by TG4 and seeks to find Ireland’s entry for Junior Eurovision. The overall winner will travel to Georgia in November 2017 to compete against other European countries.
In the first heat, Cailin had to travel to Cork and sing two songs of her own choosing. The judges really liked her voice and without hesitation put her through to Round 2.
Cailin was then faced with the task of composing and performing an original song in Irish. For this she enlisted the help and expertise of fellow students, teachers in school and musician friends – Denis Carey and Anthony Monaghan – to write an original song as Gaeilge. With this task completed, Cailin travelled to Dublin for her audition. Again, the judges were impressed by what they heard. Cailin quickly got a call telling her she was through to the live TV heats.
On Monday 15th May Cailin will take part in the first of the live competitive heats. This will be recorded in RTE’s Donny brook studios to be broadcast at a later date.
We wish Cailin the very best of luck. We hope she enjoys the experience. We are very proud of a most unassuming and highly talented young lady as she represents her school and parish.
