Coding Competition

Last week, the school communities of Borrisokane, Nenagh College, and CMCO came together for a coding competition hosted by Borrisokane. Representing Nenagh College were eight talented 2nd-year coding students. Each student showcased their skills by designing and coding a game using either Scratch or Makecode Arcade. The results were remarkable, with all coding students demonstrating excellent workmanship in their games. Selecting the eight students to represent our school was a challenging task, indicative of the strong coding talent within our school.
On the competition day, Wiktoria and Nathan emerged as the overall winners from Nenagh College, adding to the sense of achievement within our community. This event provided a wonderful opportunity for three Tipperary ETB schools to collaborate closely, furthering the promotion of STEM and coding education in our region

We were delighted to see our Ag Science students engaged in Tractor Safety Training on Tuesday last. Kevin O’Connor from FRS Roscrea delivered the certified course highlight tractor safety and training which we hope is a life skill our students will take to their own farms and the workplace. Kevin was very impressed with their safety and machinery knowledge and driving skills. Thanks to sponsors FBD Insurance and Nenagh College and to Tim Gleeson Farm Machinery for the use of the tractor.

Darkness into Light

Thousands of people across the country took part in the annual Darkness into Light predawn walk on Saturday morning and Nenagh College students and staff were among them. They set off in darkness from The Scouts Hall at 4.15, finishing the 5km walk as dawn was breaking, to symbolise hope for those in distress or who have been bereaved.
Official walks took place at some 230 locations in Ireland and abroad this year. The first Darkness into Light took place in the Phoenix Park in Dublin in 2009, when some 400 walkers took part in a 5km in aid of Pieta. The organisation expected more than 100,000 participants to take part in Saturday morning’s events.
