Congratulations to our QQI Level 5 students who graduated on Friday 13th May.  The graduation day involved a final careers workshop with Ross Munnelly, Career Advisor with DCU where students concentrated on updating CVs and interview skills.  The final ceremony included a presentation of certificates to individual students from each group together with presentations to a Student of the Year from each course

Engineering Technology with Renewable Energy: Wayne Cawley

Office Administration: Sean Horrigan

The Overall Student of the Year Award went to Paddy Ryan, a student of the QQI Applied Social Studies programme. Paddy was a highly-motivated student who combined attending college with full-time work in the social and caring sector and the daily demands of family life with young children.  He had excellent attendance and was a huge support to fellow students, particularly the younger members of the group.  Paddy always had a fun-loving, positive attitude and approach to life bringing his many life experiences to enhance the learning experience of everyone, students and tutors alike.

In acceptance of his award Paddy spoke about the importance and value of education.  He advised the senior students of Nenagh College who were present at the awards ceremony to make the most of their opportunities in Nenagh College and to always consider returning to education at any stage in life, it was the best thing he did.

We would like to wish Paddy and all of our PLC students the very best for the future.  Go n-éirí an bóthar libh go léir!
