Nagle Community College

Message from Ms.Louise Phelan - Principal

Today I was truly touched by the lovely farewell celebration in Nagle CC as I prepare to take up my next opportunity in CETB as Principal of Coláiste an Chraoibhín in Fermoy.

Thank you to the staff, students, parents and wider school community for the support, kindness and friendship over the years. Today’s speeches, food and warm send-off meant so much to me.

Congratulations and best wishes to Mr. Nicholas O’Keeffe as he steps into the role of Principal at Nagle CC in the coming weeks.

I wish the students every success in their upcoming exams, and continued growth and success to everyone at Nagle CC in the years ahead.

Special thanks to LC student Pádraig for the beautiful piece of art presented to Ms.Phelan - which was very poignant and meant so much.
