St. Nessan’s Art Students are supporting a Pitch For Shane. Almost three years ago Shane Geoghegan , a young rugby player from Limerick was murdered in a case of mistaken identity. In his memory and in memory of all innocent victims of crime his family are asking people to make a small terracotta figure . These figures will be assembled shoulder to shoulder at an Exhibition in City Hall on the 9th November, the 3rd Anniversary of Shane’s death. Shane’s Aunt visited the school and gave a little talk to students on the project. Each figure is a symbol of peace and our thanks to Ms. Murphy and Ms. Raftery for involving students in this worthwhile project.

On Friday the 4th of March St. Nessan’s Community College celebrated World Book Day in style. World Book Day is the biggest celebration of books and reading ever mounted in Ireland. The main aim is to encourage students to explore the pleasure of books and reading by providing them with the opportunity to have a book of their own. Each 1st and 2nd and 3rdYear student received a flip book-2 books in one! Seven specially produced World Book Day books have been published and again O’Mahony’s have generously sent out enough copies of these books for all our 1st and 2nd and 3rd Years. Again this year, there is one title as gaeilge which should keep the Irish Department happy and will be a nice tie-in with Seachtain na Gaeilge/Leabhar Power-two nationwide Irish books celebrations which surround World Book Day.
