Congratulations to the U15 girls soccer team who are continuing their unbeaten streak from last years Connacht title win. They have now completed their group stage with two very recent, emphatic wins over Kiltimagh (9-1) and Ballyhaunis (6-0). The entire squad played major parts in both games as the goals have been shared out by many players and the defence has shown great resilience throughout 140 minutes of football.
The standard has not slipped and the addition of some fantastic first years has improved the squad even more. They now play Ballina on Monday 11th March in their last 16 match. Best of luck girls.Thanks as always to Johnny Grennan Roofing for his continued and fantastic support to all soccer teams in the school.

Read MoreTY students were busy bees working on our Creative Engagement project with Ms. Taheny this week. In this project we are focusing on the role of pollinators in our food chain and in creating a diverse ecosystem in Ireland. We investigated the various Irish plant species and crops that rely on pollination. Just as a diverse ecosystem is important, we want to emphasise the importance of diversity at St Nathy's College. We are designing and making a large scale poster piece titled 'Grow Together' using up-cycled paper to explore lettering and imagery.'We can't wait to see the finished result and we are hoping to have it ready for our @GreenSchoolsIre biodiversity action day in May. @GreenSchoolsIre

Our LCA class visited the Clayton Hotel on Thursday last as part of the GRETB organised Apprenticeship fair. A wide variety of local employers as well as local ETB/Solas branches were all represented. It was a great opportunity for students to meet potential employers/apprenticeship providers and also meet people currently doing the various apprenticeship programmes. Thanks to Roisin Surlis for accompanying them.
Read MoreUnder the warm rays of spring sunshine, the Green Schools Committee today embarked on an enriching project; constructing a 'bug hotel.' This initiative forms a pivotal component of our continued efforts to amplify biodiversity in St. Nathy's. With fervent dedication, the committee meticulously crafted a sanctuary for insects, harmonisng it with the natural environment. The team recycled old wooden crates, bricks and a myriad of other materials to create a haven, a refuge where bugs could thrive. This gesture epitomises the power of collective action in nurturing our planet. Through this venture, they not only cultivated biodiversity but also took on a sense of responsibility, fostering a sustainable ethos within St. Nathy's. Well done to Ms. Munnelly and the Green Schools Committee.@GreenSchoolsIre and @roscommoncoco
