An exciting programme of events is underway in Nenagh College to mark ETB Ethos Week. Today, all classes took time out to reflect on the core value of Community and how it is lived out in the school. First and second year students joined together in the canteen to enjoy a free sausage roll at break time.

Thursday at lunch was movie time in the engineering room. The room was open for students to come in a watch Big Hero 6 at lunch time.
Thursday afternoon the first years took part in two technology-based challenges in the sports all.

Nenagh Courthouse Visit

afitzpatrick

This Monday, our second year CSPE groups, 2A and 2C, took on an enlightening trip to Nenagh Courthouse. The students were treated to a remarkably informative tour, delving into the historical significance and the judicial role that this facility plays within the community.

Following the tour, we were fortunate to utilize the courthouse facilities for a mock trial, serving as our action project for CSPE. Amid what would typically be a solemn affair, we got to share a few laughs at our trip to the courts.

Many thanks to all at Nenagh courthouse for allowing us to view their facilities and to Michael Reynolds for the excellent tour.
