On Thursday, students in 5th year attended ‘Caith Amach É’, a comedic sketch show covering each of the Sraith Pictiúr for the Leaving Certificate. It was greatly enjoyed by all.
Well done to the St. Nathy's Senior Ladies' team, who played Coláiste Chiaráin, Athlone, and emerged with a three-point victory this week.

What a fantastic way to end the first term at St. Nathy's College!
Congratulations to our LCA2 students, who organised a wonderful Halloween Table Quiz for our first-year students. The event was filled with fun, laughter, and plenty of treats, making it a memorable occasion for everyone involved.
A huge well done to the winning team on their success, and sincere congratulations to all the students who participated and helped make the event such an enjoyable experience.
Most importantly, the quiz was a tremendous success, raising an incredible €367 for Team Hope's Christmas Shoebox Appeal. This fantastic contribution will help bring joy and hope to children in need this Christmas.
Well done to everyone involved for your enthusiasm, teamwork, and generosity! 🎃🎉📚🎁
Congrats to the senior girls who finished up for mid-term with a narrow win against St. Attracta's, Tubbercurry. Best wishes to both schools in the next round of their championship games.

Ms. Amy Dowling from Bank of Ireland visited our Transition Year and LCA1 students this afternoon as part of the bank’s Money Smarts programme. The session provided students with a valuable opportunity to learn more about financial safety and the importance of being vigilant in an increasingly digital world. Ms. Dowling delivered an engaging and informative presentation on fraud awareness, explaining the different types of scams that people can encounter and highlighting the warning signs to look out for.
She shared practical advice on how to protect personal and financial information, avoid becoming a victim of fraud, and respond appropriately if suspicious activity occurs. Students also received useful tips on card security, safe online shopping, protecting passwords, and using digital banking services responsibly. The talk was both educational and relevant, equipping students with important life skills and helping them become more confident and informed consumers. We would like to thank Ms. Dowling for taking the time to visit us and for sharing her expertise with our students.
A beautiful presentation was made to St. Nathy's College recently with the donation of a framed copy of Woven into Memory, a tapestry commissioned by Jacqueline Née Creaven d'Towey in memory of her relative, Fr Francis Canavan, and six fellow Columban missionary priests who were killed in Korea in 1950.
One of those commemorated, Fr Jack O'Brien, attended St. Nathy's in the 1930s. A poem by Fr Kevin O'Rourke provided the inspiration for tapestry artist Frances Crowe, who created the original work, which now hangs in the Korean War Memorial Museum in Seoul, South Korea.
The poem has since been translated into Irish by Orlaith Towey, a past pupil of St. Nathy's. Jacqueline's two sons, Eli and Ryan, also attended St. Nathy's, creating a special connection between this remarkable work and the College.
