Darkness into Light
Well done to the 5th year Leaving Certificate Applied students, who took on the initiative of promoting the Darkness into Light upcoming walk on 11th May, at 4.15 am.
Their aim was to increase students awareness of the role of Pieta House in our community. They did this by selling treats for 50c in the canteen, all funds will be donated to Pieta House.
Nenagh College are proud to have hosted the first ever Nenagh Darkness into Light walk in 2015, raising over €26,000. Students in the Nenagh College continue to support Pieta House, by walking the 5km every May.
Students are reminded to take note of all the supports available to them, which are highlighted on the wellbeing notice board.

Comórtas Gael-Linn
Comhghairdeas le daltaí na cúigiú bliana a ghlac páirt in agallamh Ghael-Linn. Bronnadh Fáinní Gaeilge orthu inniu. Rinne siad ar fheabhas agus táimid an-bhródúil astu. Beatha teanga í a labhairt!

Saint Vincent de Paul
Ms O Keeffe would like to thank Clodagh Lenihan (youth officer, with The Society of St Vincent de Paul, SVP) who spoke to 5th year LCVP and 6th year LCA students on Tuesday 30th April, about the foundation of the charity and the role they play in society.
They are involved in many projects such as personal house visits, education grants, supporting adult, older people, child and youths, social housing projects, holiday breaks etc.
The charity secures finance from donations and also from its 230 local Vincent’s charity shops located in every county around Ireland. The Vincent’s charity shops are a very important aspect of the service SVP provides. Not only do they provide people with new or lightly worn items at affordable prices, they also provide an income source for the Society, which is recycled directly back into the community.
