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 âcrisis of shameâ that obscures the scale of local âcollusionâ 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

Nenagh College welcomed a record crowd for their annual information evening on Wednesday last, 17th January, for parents and prospective students from the local primary schools.
For the first time the event was live streamed on Facebook, in response to expected numbers attending and the demand for enrolment. Speaking on Tipp Today (Tipp FM) on Wednesday morning, two teachers from the College, Stephen O Meara and Kate O Brien, shared with the listeners the idea behind this new and exciting initiative. Nenagh College is fully engaged with the
Tipperary ETB mission of promoting the use of technology in the classroom and âlive Streamingâ the event helped to get the message out to a far greater audience and focused on the prospective students who are part of this new technological generation.
At Open Night, while addressing the 500 strong audience, the Year Head for first years, Maire NĂ Chofaigh, outlined the strong pastoral care programme which is dedicated to student welfare and to ensuring that the transfer from primary school is as seamless and stress free for both students and parents.
Aishling Ryan and Declan Kinsella provided the visitors to the school with a student and parent perspective.
The Principal, Damien Kennedy, reflected, through video, on the development, culture and characteristic spirit of ETB schools.
The increased demand for Co-ed schools and a need for the school to respond to the ever increasing diverse and secular society that Nenagh College serves. The Principal noted how the school is embracing the new Junior Cycle, being the first school in Tipperary and one of the first nationally, to award Junior Cycle students a certificate which incorporated their Profile of Achievement in areas and disciplines beyond academics.
The principal cautioned, that that the growth of the school over the past number of years may lead to a more restricted enrolment policy in the future, despite the determination of the schoolâs Board of Management to maintain an open enrolment policy.
After key note addresses the parents and the students were invited to tour the schoolâs very impressive facilities.
The Principal thanked SpainAV for their technical support on the night, where they were ably assisted by one of the Collegeâs second year students, Denis Rohan.
