Sporty May
By Conor Hennessy, Jason Bourke and Joey Donnellan Room 8
We have had a sporty month here at Nenagh CBS as we had our schools sports day (to see all the pictures of sports day click here) and also played a hurling tournament. Jason Teefey was our team captain. We beat the Gaelscoil by three points in extra time in the U13 game and hammered them in the U11 game. There was no trophy for the U11 game but there was for the Under 13 game. The school were very proud to be the very first winners of this new trophy for the schools of Nenagh Parish. A big thank you to Nenagh Éire Óg for organising the tournament and the Gaelscoil for for participating.

Congratulations to the boys in 2nd who made their First Holy Communion on the 10th May and the boys in 6th who made their Confirmation on the 17th May.
The School Garden
Ms Finn, Mr Ryan, Ms Liston, Mr Buckley, Ms Barry and their pupils along with the boys in Ms Callinans class have been working very hard in the school garden. They planted a variety of vegetables including potatoes, cabbages, onions, lettuce, beans and carrots. The garden is growing very well and everyone is excited to eat some of the produce. Ms Barry’s pupils created a map showing all of the vegetables in the garden and this is on display in the front of the school. Until the vegetables are grown, we will maintain the garden by weeding and watering it when necessary.
