TY and EAL students completed the second of their full day workshops with local artist Garrett Herbert from Crea Forge to progress on their mixed metal sculpture as part of their Creative Engagement project 2022. We are looking forward to the completion of this sculpture and its installation on the school grounds.
As part of National Biodiversity Week 2022 the Green Schools committee took part in an ‘Investigative Woodlands Workshop’ with Robert Nelson from An Taisce. Robert was very informative and helped us to discover the rich biodiversity present in our school grounds. It was a lovely way to finish our Green School year in keeping with our preparation for the biodiversity flag!
On Monday the the 23rd of May, fifth year LCVP students experienced their visit- out to a local enterprise; Willowbrook, by the banks of the river Lung, Ballaghaderreen, County Roscommon. The students were given a tour of the glamping grounds, and their tour guide, Tuesday, told them the history and process of how they built their enterprise from the ground up. It was an incredibly informative experience and Willowbrook is truly the place to “Escape the Everyday.” (By Ciara Hassett & Eva Coleman)
Some of our LC students travelled to Roscommon town for an event on Monday 16th May where they were presented with their Roscommon Bound Passports.
As part of the event they heard from Mark Kavanagh.
Mark gave an inspirational talk telling students of his own journey, overcoming challenges and how he pursued a career in pharmacy following his accident.
He spoke of 'impressing yourself each day', being mindful that everyone you meet has their own story and challenges and that 'our limitations are only perceived'.
Joe Murphy Cathaoirleach of Roscommon County Council presented students with their Roscommon Passports which represents the 'Rossie' links they will also have at home and abroad. Mr Murphy spoke about the Roscommon Bound Passport initiative, which promotes and celebrates all aspects of County Roscommon.
Thanks to our Guidance Counsellor Ms Beirne who accompanied the students on the day.
What a fantastic night we had when our TY and music students took to the stage for an evening of music and drama. After two years of restrictions, it was wonderful to open the doors and welcome students along with friends and family for a great night’s entrainment as well as providing an opportunity for a cup of tea and a chat. This evening would not have been possible without the help of so many people: The director Julie Sharkey & Ms Staunton the TY coordinator for the production friends actually. Martin O’Boyle for the light and sound. Our music teachers, Ms Kielty and Ms Sheridan, for coordinating the musical introduction, which showcased the incredible musical talent we have in the school. Our parent’s council for organising both the refreshments and the fabulous raffle. To all the local businesses who generously provided sponsorship for the program and spot prizes for the raffle. We hope that this event will become an annual feature in our school calendar. [foogallery id="16258"]

After months of hard work, we were delighted to take delivery of the St Nathy’s College yearbook for 2022. Credit has to go to the dedicated Yearbook committee under the guidance of Ms O’Dowd and Ms Costello without which this would not have been possible. The committee worked tirelessly to write and compile all the articles for this beautiful production. The end result is a complication of photos, short stories, poems and articles highlighting the wonderful achievements of our students over the past year.
The Yearbook costing €10 will be on sale in the canteen each day at lunchtime and will also be available at our LC Graduation mass on Tuesday evening.
Grab your copy before they sell out!
