[video width="480" height="848" mp4="https://www.stnathys.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/VID-20240224-WA0004.mp4"][/video] ¡Mama Mia, Papa Mia! - A striking In-House Transition Year Musical performance!  Prepare yourselves for an unforgettable show filled with music, laughter, and breathtaking entertainment as our talented students prepare their in-house production, ¡Mama Mia, Papa Mia! This musical masterpiece promises to be the big talking point of TY 2024, that will bring the magic of the stage to life in a way you have never seen before in Ballaghaderreen! Work is well underway, and our students are very busy.  They are not just performers in this show; they are the masterminds behind every aspect of this production and are very much involved, making ‘the student voice’ loud and proud in St. Nathy’s hallowed halls. They are currently designing and building the various sets creating eye-catching, sustainable props (using as much recycled materials as possible) and are transforming the stage into a vibrant ‘other world’ of music, dreams, and dance. See the transition in the attached video, and there certainly will be more to follow as we try to keep up with their progress.  Watch our hall metamorphise into a little Hollywood. Our TY students are genuinely pouring their hearts and souls into every detail. ¡Mama Mia, Papa Mia! promises a journey through the captivating world of music, love, and laughter. The musical selections are being carefully curated to resonate with audiences of all ages, so there will be something for everyone. From heartwarming ballads to upbeat dance numbers, our students will deliver a performance that will leave you singing and dancing long after the curtains close. Mark your calendars for a series of unforgettable nights! Join us on the 14th, 15th, and 16th of March as the curtains rise at 8pm sharp each night. It will be an opportunity to witness the culmination of months of hard work, passion, and dedication from our talented Transition Year students. The venue will be buzzing with excitement, and you will not want to miss a single moment of this ‘show stopping’ performance. ¡ Seating is limited, so be sure to secure your tickets in advance. Experience the thrill of live theater and support our budding performers as they take center stage. Ticket details will be available soon, so stay tuned for updates on how to reserve your spot at ¡Mama Mia, Papa Mia! One student told me yesterday that " This has been a fantastic aspect of Transition Year as we are all working as a team to ensure that it will run smoothly" By attending this production, you will not just be enjoying a night out, you will also be supporting the young people of Ballaghaderreen and encouraging the growth of young talent, and there certainly will be a lot of that there! Your presence in the audience will contribute to the show as well as support your son/ daughter/ neighbour, or even the student down the road. Do not miss the theatrical event of the year! Save the date, gather your friends and family, and join us for ¡Mama Mia, Papa Pia! - where passion meets performance in a musical extravaganza that will leave you applauding for more.!

Internet Safety week.

Internet Safety Week

Internet Safety Week began in the College this week with the marking of ‘Safer Internet Day’ on Tuesday 6th February. This is a global event celebrated in more than 180 countries worldwide. It aims to promote online safety for children and young people. During Tutorial time this week and in some SPHE classes, students were given tips and learned more about how to protect themselves when they are online.

Many parents and guardians also have concerns and possible questions about the online world that many young people engage in. As part of Internet Safety Week, the Wellbeing Team would like to share a link to an excellent presentation made available by webwise.ie.

In it, Dr. Colman Noctor (Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytical Psychotherapist;) discusses the opportunities and risks for teens online, offers practical advice to support parents and answers some frequently asked questions.

The TikTok Safety team also provide a short explainer on how TikTok works and some key safety features.

We would also like to let you know that webwise.ie provides an overview of free resources and supports for parents in this whole area.

They headedto Foxford for their second game hoping for another great win.The girls had a rough start as they tried to keep up with a very quick and strong Foxford side. Thebacks tried their best but unfortunately Foxford managed to score some goals against the girls, butthere were also some brilliant saves from goal keeper Meabh Lavin and very powerful kick outs too. They managed to get a few goals and points in the first half but it wasn’t enough to catch up to Foxford and went into the second half behind by 6 points. The Half time score was 3-5 to 2-8The girls came back strong in the second half with an excellent goal from Saerlaith Dillon straight away from a free. This gave the girls a great confidence boost and they continued to battle gettingmore points and more goals but Foxford were keeping up with them as well. It was neck and necktowards the end but unfortunately Foxford pulled away with a two point lead. The girls will play theirnext game after the mid term break. Many thanks to all in the school community who nominated St Nathy's in Lidl and collected points towards new jerseys.
