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. 
Nenagh College was delighted to welcome Volleyball Ireland for a full day of volleyball coach training.
Our Transition Year (TY) students enthusiastically took part, gaining valuable insights into the techniques and rules of the game. The workshop equipped them with the skills and confidence to guide and inspire future players within the school community.
Following their training, the TY students are now eager to coach 1st and 2nd Year students, promoting a spirit of peer learning and teamwork while helping younger students develop their volleyball skills.
This initiative highlights Nenagh College’s commitment to fostering student leadership, collaboration, and active participation in sport.
Earlier this term, our 6th Year Geography students took their classroom learning outdoors for their field investigation along the stunning coastline of Liscannor Bay, Co. Clare. This practical study forms an essential part of the Leaving Certificate Geography course, allowing students to apply key skills in data collection, analysis, and interpretation within a real-world setting.
The investigation focused on coastal erosion, examining how the sea shapes and alters the landscape over time. Armed with recording sheets, ranging poles, clinometers, and wave count timers, students gathered primary data on wave frequency, cliff profiles, and evidence of erosion along the coastline. The dramatic cliffs and rugged shores of Liscannor Bay provided the perfect natural laboratory for this work.
Throughout the day, the students showed outstanding enthusiasm and teamwork. They worked closely together, sharing ideas, supporting one another, and ensuring that accurate results were collected. The group’s positive energy and great sense of humour made the trip both enjoyable and memorable. Laughter and teamwork went hand in hand as students balanced serious fieldwork with plenty of fun moments along the way.
