This week, in a festive gathering at St. Nathy's College, some of our students came together to celebrate a remarkable achievement –an outstanding attendance record and an excellent punctuality and homework record. Students who demonstrated exceptional attendance and homework record were acknowledged for their consistent efforts and commitment to their studies.
To add an element of surprise to the celebration, the school organised a special lunch for those who had achieved such a milestone, a pizza party! Students indulged in a variety of delicious pizzas, sharing laughter and camaraderie as they celebrated their collective achievement.

In the busy countdown to Christmas, our ‘Above Study Hall’ was today transformed into a winter wonderland as the TY Enterprise mini companies launched their annual Christmas Markets. The ‘Above Study Hall’ which is normally a place of quiet study became a vibrant marketplace filled with laughter, craic and excitement as students got to do some Christmas shopping. From the scent of freshly baked goods to the myriad of handmade wooden ornaments, the market offered some escapism from the usual school routine.
Intricate wooden ornaments adorned many stalls. Crafted with precision and care, these ornaments ranged from delicately carved coasters, candle logs, Christmas tree decorations, and even dog collar pendants! Yes, definitely a most ‘Pawsitively’ delightful find.
In the far corner of the hall, one could peruse through poetry books or a rainbow of crocheted scrunchies and accessories. Beside this was a selection of baked goods and treats that delighted the senses. From cookies (both baked and ‘ready to bake’) to chocolates there was an array of sugary delights to cater for every tooth.
Earring enthusiasts found their paradise at a stall offering an eclectic collection of handcrafted pieces. This one deserves a special mention as half of all profits are going to our local ‘Furry Friends animal sanctuary’. Another stall boasted ‘Ballaghaderreen Calendars’ by local artists. Each page is a canvas showcasing the talent of local artists. These calendars are not just functional, they are pieces of art!
Over the course of today and tomorrow most Students will have the opportunity to go to the Christmas Markets in class groups.
Mirror guards, beanie hats, mugs, decorations and Christmas candles were just a few of the additional delights that awaited shoppers today. There is a huge variety that ensures that there is something for everyone. We would like to thank everyone who worked so hard to make this event take place, especially the Enterprise teachers, Ms. Munnelly, Ms. Hughes and Ms. McHale for their guidance and support.
As the first day of the Christmas Markets was such a success, we are opening them to all parents /guardians, friends and family tomorrow afternoon. Bring plenty of money as our vendors are very persuasive! There is also a huge hamper which will be raffled off tomorrow (Thursday). Get a free ticket with every purchase. Good luck!

This afternoon St. Nathy's Cathedral, was alive with the joyous sounds of our annual Carol Service. It was a harmonious blend of tradition, spirituality, and community spirit.
The ethereal echoes of carols reverberated through the towering beams of St. Nathy's roof spreading joy and peace to the town. Among the attendees were our very Reverend Bishop Dempsey, our Principal Fr. Henry, Fr. Kivlehan, Fr. Denis, the students and staff of St. Nathy’s College, parents, grandparents and locals who came to the Cathedral to hear the enchanted and mesmerising chords.
We were particularly delighted to welcome back Ms. Kielty who accompanied our choir on piano. The carols, some centuries old, gained new life under the guidance of Ms. Sheridan who conducted her choir to perfection. We would like to extend a huge ‘Thank You’ to all the RE Department who coordinated and planned the readings so seamlessly, and to everyone who contributed, sang or played.
It was wonderful that the community came together to weave a tapestry of festive joy into the town. An enjoyable festive feast of music was enjoyed by all those fortunate enough to witness it today.
