On Wednesday last 6th year Nenagh College Students visited Shannon School of Hotel Management’s Open Evening. SCHM is a College of the University of Galway. The students had an opportunity to interact with students and staff at the College. They enjoyed an interactive event which focused on​

• General Information and Applications Workshop​
• Experienced culinary taste experience and bar and restaurant demonstration in addition to a College Tour .​

Shannon College of Hotel Management, founded in 1951, is Ireland’s only dedicated hotel management college. They offer two Level 8 degrees, preparing students for careers in business and hotel management. Central to their ethos, is a focus on intensive practical training, extensive business studies and international work placements which ensures students graduate with a bachelor’s business degree and 21 months of relevant experience​.
As the CAO process is well underway, the students are looking forward to their future college and career progression routes.

• As part of a Key assignment for their HCT,  Hotel, Catering and Tourism module, students had to make a tourist trail within Ireland. They choose Galway as their area to research and visit. Each student had to identify a tourist activity in Galway. We visited them and they gave a presentation at their chosen tourist sight.​

• Nenagh College Home Economics Gingerbread house Competition was open to all students, the only rule was that all elements of the gingerbread house had to be edible. Congratulations to Ana and Marina who won joint first place for their beautiful creations. ​

Nenagh College had a very special visitor on Tuesday. Freddie from Limerick Animal Welfare(LAW), accompanied by his owner Chris who is also a volunteer at their sanctuary in Kilfinnan, gave a talk and presentation to the 3rd Year students on the amazing work the charity does.
Freddie was a real hit with all the students and staff and was delighted to take away all the pet food donations for his friends at the sanctuary, along with 145 euro that the students raised during their coffee morning.
