There was time on Friday morning to take a break from classes as the 1st years enjoyed a game of bingo with their mentors.
It was an opportunity to have some fun while getting to know each other a little better.
The mentors will be meeting the 1st years a number of times during the 1st term.

Congratulations to the LC Class of 2022 on their results. Like their parents/guardians, we are extremely proud of their wonderful achievements. This group of students showed great resilience, determination and work ethic, despite the difficult years of uncertainty during their senior cycle.
We were delighted to welcome so many students back to the school for a cup of tea and a chat and many took the opportunity to visit classrooms and teachers to say one last farewell.
From everyone in St Nathy’s College, we wish them every success as they embark on the next exciting chapter of their lives.
If they need to contact us for any help or advice over the coming days, please feel free to do so.

Read More We were delighted to welcome our new 1st year students along with so many of their parents/guardians as they began their 1st day in St Nathy’s College.
For some students, they were the first in their home to start post-primary and for some, they were the last, but for all of them, there was some nervous excitement. It helped to have the mums and dads there when they stepped through the doors for the first time, and after a short prayer service, they were off with their friends and class tutors.
After two years of restrictions, we were delighted to invite the parents/guardians to stay for a cup of tea and a chat.
As the students left at the end of the day, there were plenty of smiles as those initial nerves were banished, and the first day was done and dusted!
Enjoy the weekend, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday.
On behalf of all the College staff, we would like to wish our JC & LC students the very best as they begin their state exams tomorrow. The exam timetables are available to view in their respective year group teams. Please get in touch if we can be of any assistance throughout the exams.
As part of their CSPE class 1A decided that they would like to organise an event that would raise funds for break time activities in the school. They decided it would be a good idea to organise a sponsored walk and use the funds raised to purchase a Foosball table that could be used by students at lunchtime.
They set to work getting permission from the Gardai, designing sponsorship cards, and planning the route using Google Maps.
On Wednesday the 25th of May 2022, they set out for their walk at about 10:40am. Luckily the weather stayed dry for them and they enjoyed a little break amid their summer tests. The reward at the end of the walk was a pit stop at SuperValu for some ice cream.
It was a very successful event and they were delighted to raise €511.74. A sincere thank you to all the friends and family who sponsored the students and to their CSPE teacher Mr O’Suilleabhain for helping them organise the event.
Over the past week, there has been great excitement at lunchtime as students took part in a pool tournament. The starting 32 students were whittled down to the final 4, Anna-Mai, Kevin, Gerard, and Joseph. After Anna-Mai and Joseph lost out in the two semi-finals it was an all 5th year final between Gerard and Kevin. Gerard made a very good start and it looked like it was all over but Kevin made a great comeback and in the end it was very close with Gerard emerging victorious. In the 3rd place playoff between Joseph & Anna-Mai it again was a close contest where an unlucky potting of the black ball by Anna-Mai meant Joseph secured 3rd place.
Gerard, Kevin, and Joseph were presented with their prizes by Mr Dolan.
Many Thanks to Mr P Dolan for organising and overseeing the event.
On the 19th of May the Leaving Cert Art class went to Dublin for their annual museum visit as part of the Leaving Cert course, accompanied by Ms. Owens and Ms. Healy. Here the students visited the National Museum of Ireland, Kildare St. where they got to see the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age artefacts that they have studied for the past two years in Art History. They finished the day with a stop off in Liffey Valley for a bit of lunch and some shopping before heading West again. A great day was had all round.

It was a very engaging and informative workshop and we were delighted to have the opportunity to welcome them to St Nathy's College.
Mr Dolan, Mr Mulderrig & Principal Fr M Henry presented medals to the members of the Juvenile Football team who were crowned Division B Champions in early April.
