Medieval Carols
Christmas was officially been launched at Presentation Clonmel on Friday Dec 7th. We would like to thank Eamon and Roisin of Tonos who came to do a workshop and concert with our very talented 5th year music students . This was supported by Tipperary Arts Office.
The lunchtime concert “Wintersong” took place in our Basement theatre and was a great success. The 5th years sang a number of Medieval Carols during the performance. Thank you also to the 2nd and 3rd students and JCSP students for their beautiful festive decoration of the performing space.
RE Department Presentation Day / Nano 300

Next came an opportunity for the 6th years to take a time-out for themselves as they enjoyed their own retreat in Raheen House. This was closely followed by the 3rd years organizing a prayer service for the Presentation Sisters for Presentation day on the 21st November. They were joined on the day by the 5th year music class, President and joint Vice-Presidents of our Student Council as well as the 1st years. We also got an opportunity to take a “Selfie with the Sisters.”
Our 6th years visited the Presentation Sisters in the convent for afternoon tea. Every year, Presentation Sisters adopt one of the 6th years and prays for them on a daily basis.
On the 7th December we were joined by Catriona Delaney, who has co-written “Nano Nagle, The Life and Legacy” and Anne Dwyer, our retired Deputy-Principal, in her new role in the organization “Friends of Nano” and they presented their interesting work to a variety of classes across the school body. We celebrated a very special Presentation Day this year to mark the Tercentenary Celebrations for Nano 300.

TY Museum Exhibition
Congrats to our Ty students and their History teachers Ms.O’Carroll & Ms.Cashman whom successfully opened their museum exhibition based around the theme of our grandparent’s past last Friday in the Tipperary Museum. The exhibition was called ‘Passing on the Past’. For the past three months, the three transition year classes worked with the museum to develop a full- scale exhibition. The finished product consisted of large panels, artefacts and listening pieces, all completed by the students with the help of Jayne Sutcliffe,Tipperary County Museum. There was quite a large turn out with many students, parents, grandparents and teachers. Cllr. Mattie Ryan Cathaoirleach Tipperary County Council officially opened Exhibition. The Exhibition is open until January 2019.

Art Department News
Our Art Department have been very busy lately with success in the Credit Union Art Competition, performing at Emma Lacey Fundraiser in Hotel Minella and also our 5th years were busy painting windows in Abbott in preparation for Christmas. Well done to everyone.
Second Year Art Exhibition
Well done to our second years and Ms. Walsh, Art Teacher who are holding a Portraits Exhibition in South Tipp Arts Centre. “My Spaces” Exhibition is running until Friday 23rd.This project is based around the pupils “safe” and “happy” places. The pupils had to decide where they feel most comfortable and safe. An area that is most important to them where they can go if they are stressed, worried or anxious. It is important to find these areas for ourselves so we can go there to help relieve our stress and worry and feel comforted and safe. The recognition of these spaces is important for these second-year pupils so as they grow within their school years, they can feel secure in a certain space. They have worked really hard at deciding where these “safe” space is for them. The pupils were also inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s painting technique through using a lost of colour, palette knives and heavy acrylic paint to express colour and texture in their final piece.
Congratulations to Ms. Walsh & Second year students on their excellent work. Below are some photos taken from the exhibition.
