As part of the Active School Challenge, Nenagh College was pleased to welcome the Marie Keating Foundation to present in our school. This Irish based charity is a key provider of cancer awareness and support programmes throughout Ireland. The Schools Cancer Awareness Programme aims to promote knowledge among students at post-primary level about various forms of cancer and to help them understand the importance of detecting cancer at an early stage. By making cancer ‘less frightening by enlightening’ for students, the programme endeavours to engage students with age-appropriate, interactive and informative material.
