Nenagh College female Transition Year students enjoyed a Women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) event at Cork City Hall on Friday, 26th January, with their teachers, Ms. Kearney & Ms. Ni Chofaigh. Hosted by Dr. Pixie Mc Kenna, Nenagh College received special recognition for attendance from An Tánaiste, Simon Coveney and the Lord Mayor of Cork, Tony Fitzgerald.
IWish aspires to influence, encourage and motivate young secondary school female students to pursue careers in STEM. The event combined talks and interaction with female role models and included interactive exhibitions where companies engaged directly with the students.
Well done to the Nenagh College students who participated in an u15 Munster Rugby schools blitz on Tuesday in the University of Limerick. The team faced strong competition but played well and won one of their games. They were unlucky to lose out in the final match of the competition. A great day was had by all.
French Play “La Visite” thoroughly enjoyed by Nenagh College French students on Tuesday afternoon. Bravo to our student actors Dylan Noonan Kelly, Amy Righini, Milo McGee, Andrew Morelli, Sean Power, Michael Ryan and Katie Jester, as well as those students who found themselves unexpectedly chosen to perform!!

History students from Nenagh College at a special film screening of ‘Condemned to Remember.’
Bergen-Belsen survivor Tomi Reichental has embarked on a lifelong quest to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive so that its horrors will never be repeated. Now Tomi symbolically celebrates his 80th birthday in a Dublin mosque and embarks on an epic journey across a Europe in turmoil.
In Germany, Tomi concludes his long quest to bring the convicted SS war criminal Hilde Michnia to account. In Poland and Slovakia, he confronts the ‘crisis of shame’ that obscures the scale of local ‘collusion’ with the Nazi extermination project. In Bosnia, he embraces Muslim survivors of a genocide who still search for the bones of their loved ones.
On Monday next, the Nenagh College Parents Association will present an information evening on safe mobile phone use. The delivery will be facilitated by Paula O’Connor. Paula has already delivered very powerful workshops in the school for 2nd / 3rd and Transition Year students.
Paula is renowned nationally for her delivery of workshops on this very current and possibly, must worrying , topic for parents.
The theme of the evening will be creating awareness for parents of the potential dangers that phone misuse poses for teenagers.
All parents are welcome to attend
