Biodiversity Garden

The students of Nenagh College have been working hard behind the scenes in our biodiversity garden over the last number of months. A variety of native trees have been planted by students which has given the students a great opportunity to link theory and practical work.
The level of biodiversity in this area also given 5th year biology students a great opportunity to identify a number of flora and fauna that have appeared naturally in our school. This was of particular importance when carrying out their recent study of the grassland habitat. We are very lucky to have this space and cannot wait to watch it grow and mature.

Students from Home room 1 and 2 had a great day out Tuesday when they visited Bunratty Castle and folk park. The farm manager kindly gave us a tour of the farm first where we met goats, chickens, geese, calves,pigs, ponies, lambs and even deer! A guided tour of the Castle followed and then we explored the folk park. It was a lovely day and we almost managed to sneak a baby lamb back onto the bus !’
