5LCA completed their enterprise module as part of Vocational Preparation and Guidance (VPG).

Students undertook a study of entrepreneurs in Ireland and then they came up with their own ideas to become budding entrepreneurs – they narrowed their choice down to a car wash and a pop up lunch time shop.

Their teacher Ms O Keeffe is vey proud of all their hard work and the learning gained from their involvement in enterprise education.

 

Ms O Keeffe’s students undertook a study of the cotton industry in the world and the effects it has on many of the 17 SDG’s as follows:

1. Gender inequality
2. Poverty
3. Affordable and clean energy
4. Decent work and economic growth
5. Reduced inequalities
6. Responsible consumption and production
7. Sustainable cities and communities
8. Climate action
9. Partnership for the goals.

Students gained an appreciation of how they can make a difference.

Nenagh College 5th year Computer Science class recently had a webinar with Keith Quille, who is a lecturer of computing in the Technological University Dublin.

Keith covered a wide range of topics including Python, the Von Neumann Architecture and the Turing Machine.  It was a very informative and interesting webinar.  It also helped with revision of a number of topics for their upcoming Computer Science summer exam.

Having learned about precepts in their film study of ‘Wonder’, 1B and 1D English classes decided to share their own words of wisdom.

The aim of the Scifest program is to promote and encourage an interest in and love of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) subjects. Well done to all.
