Latisha spoke about how she became involved as a Climate Change Ambassador and the work that she along with the Green School Committee have done here in the school to make a positive impact on Climate Change.

We are very proud of her and delighted she has received such a prestigious award.

Christmas Tree!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in St Nathy's where TY students began the season of Advent by putting up the Christmas Tree.

‘Teacher Challenge’ Fundraiser Event

Here at St. Nathy's this Christmas we are raising money for the St. Vincent de Paul.  In a rather interesting turn of events, our teachers have challenged the students to raise money in order for them to perform certain tasks... The boxes for the money will be in the canteen with pictures, names and the challenge! Get ready! Alongside the ‘Teachers Challenge’ event, we will be running an ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’ in which the teachers are also going to participate in memory of Fr. Finan, a former member of staff and colleague to all. All the money raised will go towards Motor Neuron Ireland! Some of the challenges include:  Mr. Curran will wear a Mayo jersey for the day if we raise €100 between himself, Ms. Herr and Mr. McGhee! Mr. McGhee will wear either a Mayo or Roscommon jersey for the day if we raise €100 between himself, Mr. Curran and Ms. Herr! If we raise €100, Mr. Brady and the Fifth Year boys who have volunteered will wax their legs! Mr. Regan and Mr. Carmody are willing to wear their referee gear into school for the day if we raise €60 between them! With more to follow later in the week!! Watch this space!!

Leisurecard Scheme for Galway, Mayo & Roscommon

Dear parents, there was an important webinar on last Thursday about Planet Youth, the Icelandic Leisurecard scheme, and the huge impact the scheme has had on a whole generation’s health and wellbeing in Iceland. It is very likely now that this scheme will be coming to the West of Ireland shortly, as a pilot for the country, and it represents a great opportunity for our children and our communities. The webinar is available online to view; on YouTube at https://youtu.be/1-0FbhAB4z8 also at https://planetyouth.ie/fristund-is-webinar/. We encourage you to look at the end of the webinar from 48.13 and then go back over it later in full if you’re interested in learning more. This scheme is being brought to cabinet by Anne Rabbitte TD shortly, and she is also advocating for it across several government departments in order to secure the necessary funding for a full-scale implementation here.  The intention is to get a properly funded 3-year pilot Leisurecard scheme for Galway, Mayo and Roscommon. If you’re interested in supporting this scheme could you please like / share the pinned posts about it on the www.facebook.com/planetyouthireland or www.twitter.com/planetyoutheire pages and ask your contacts and friends to do the same. It will help Anne Rabbitte’s cause quite a bit if she has local Galway, Mayo and Roscommon parents showing their support so no harm to let her know through social media channels.
