While the construction that corresponds to this kind of phrase exists in Japanese, the word "that" is not directly translatable, I'm afraid. Translating between Japanese and English is not compatible with "word-for-word" translations a good amount of the time.
This being said, this is a grammar point that might be expressed in this fashion:
X のは/ことは Y-adjective です。
...where X is an event, an action, or a thing, and Y is an adjective that expresses how you feel about it.
Expanding on your example phrases:
学校で友達を作ったのはいいです。
It's nice that you have made friends at school.
もう会えないことは悲しいです。
It makes me sad that we won't meet again.
Here, I used いい (good, nice) to describe the event that is 学校で友達を作った (having made friends at school).
Similarly, I used 悲しい (sad) to describe the event that is もう会えない (never meeting again).
