International Day Brings the World to St. Nathy’s

Yesterday, we proudly celebrated International Day. Students representing 29 different nationalities took part, many dressed in traditional attire that beautifully reflected their heritage and identity.

The PE hall was transformed into a colourful, energetic space filled with music, conversation, and excitement. Students and staff fully embraced the occasion, creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere throughout the day.

The main feature of the day was the wide variety of food from around the world. Students shared traditional dishes, offering everything from richly spiced meals to sweet treats and comforting classics. There were even Tayto crisps! That unique taste that you can only get in Ireland. Apologies if you are reading this from overseas and we have made you think of Tayto crisps! Each table provided not just food, but an insight into different cultures.

Overall, the event was a fantastic celebration of the diversity that makes our school unique. It was a day of connection, learning, and enjoyment, leaving everyone with a strong sense of pride in our inclusive and welcoming School of Sanctuary.

🔋 Powering Change: A Huge Success for Our School Battery Drive

Over the past six weeks, our school community has come together in an extraordinary way to support our Green Schools initiative through a whole-school battery collection drive. Thanks to the combined efforts of students, staff and families, we collected well over 300 kilograms of batteries.
All collections were gathered and finalised ahead of last Friday’s deadline, a testament to the organisation, commitment and drive shown right across the school community.
A key part of the initiative was our inter-class tutor group competition, which brought energy, enthusiasm and a healthy sense of rivalry to the campaign. Students across all year groups worked tirelessly to collect and contribute as many batteries as possible.
A special congratulations must go to Ms. Farrell’s tutor class and Ms. Brunker's tutor class, who emerged as winners in the junior and senior categories. Between them, these two groups collected an outstanding 90 kilograms of batteries, a remarkable contribution to the overall effort.
To celebrate their achievement, a well-earned pizza party was held today, recognising their fantastic effort and commitment to the initiative.
While we are incredibly proud of what has been achieved so far, the campaign is not quite over. We are encouraging any remaining batteries at home to be dropped into the school to go towards next years entry.
Finally, a sincere thank you to all parents, students and staff for their support, effort and enthusiasm throughout this initiative. Your contribution has made a real difference and highlights the positive impact we can have when we work together.

A look at an Inspiring and most interesting “Taster Day” at ATU Galway

5th-year students enjoyed an inspiring visit to ATU Galway for a taster day, offering a glimpse into life at third level. Throughout the day, students participated in a variety of engaging workshops across a range of disciplines, including Nutrition, Architectural Technology, Tourism, Civil Engineering, and Marketing. These hands-on sessions provided valuable insight into different career pathways, while allowing students to experience the practical and creative aspects of each field. The visit not only broadened their horizons but also encouraged them to begin thinking about their future studies in an exciting and meaningful way. We extend our sincere thanks to ATU Galway for their generosity, kindness, and invaluable support in making this experience so memorable for our students.

St. Nathy’s College came alive with energy and enthusiasm during Healthy Eating Week, as students embraced the importance of making positive food choices for both body and mind. From colourful displays of fresh fruit and vegetables to creative, nutritious meal ideas, making and sampling smoothies and trying new healthy foods such as hummus, the week highlighted how healthy eating can be both enjoyable and accessible. Students took part in a range of activities that encouraged balance, variety, and mindful habits. Thank you to the LCA students who created an impressive display showing the sugar content in various drinks products.  Also, thank you to the TY students who helped prepare food every day for everyone to sample- catering for 700 is no small feat!  A special word of thanks to Caitriona at Dubliner Cheese, Aodh in Glenilen Farm and Elaine in Glenisk for their support and generosity. These photos capture not just the vibrant food on offer, but also the spirit of teamwork and wellbeing that defined the week.

Congratulations and best of luck to Mannat Puri. She has been selected to participate in the MISS TEEN 2026 Contest for Ireland, which is similar to Miss Ireland but is specifically for teenagers aged 13–17. A few months ago, she attended an audition and was successfully selected from the Ireland auditions. Over the past few weeks, she has been travelling to Dublin for rehearsals. The final night will take place next Monday, when the winner will be chosen and awarded the title of Miss Ireland Teen 2026. Anyone who would like to support her can vote through the app, which would mean a great deal to her. Sharing this news also helps raise awareness of the competition and gives many other young girls the opportunity to learn about it and take part in future years.
