Presentation Primary School

This month we focused on Creativity for our Star Pupil Awards. Creativity isn’t just about art and drama. This month we encouraged the children to think with freedom, to be imaginative, to be brave and to be themselves. Congratulations to all the pupils who were recognised for making an extra special effort to be creative this month. Next month’s awards will be for Friendship as we look forward to celebrating Friendship Week together from Monday 14th February to Friday 18th February.

We are delighted to invite you and your child to visit Presentation Primary School for our Open Day on Sunday, 13th February. You can enjoy a tour of the school and visit your child’s future classroom anytime between 1pm and 3pm. This is a great opportunity for your child to meet the teachers and see what school will be like for them in September. Adults will be asked to wear a mask on the day. We do hope you can join us.

As the curtain comes down on the historic year of 2021, we take stock of all that has been done and all that has been overcome in the past 12 months. 2021 was certainly a challenging year for children and it is only right that we take the opportunity to applaud them and congratulate them on their resilience, positivity and adaptability. In saying that, it important also that we acknowledge that for some pupils, this didn’t come easy and to those children we genuinely say well done on being so brave. To the staff of our school; teachers, SNAs, our Read more

For the past six years Seoidín has operated out of a small room at the side of our school, a room that was once run by Sr. Ursula as a Parent’s Room. Seoidín is our pre-school for autistic children and caters for 6 pupils each year. Over the past six years the Board of Management and the principals of the school have worked tirelessly with the Department of Education to secure funding to erect two new purpose built classrooms for Seoidín. We are delighted that we have finally completed the administrative part of this project and have moved to the Read more

This week the children really began to feel the festive season around our school. The hallways are full of decorations and Christmas art work. The crib and the tree bring joy to the foyer and carol singing can be heard sporadically as you walk the corridors. The infant classes are enjoying the Christmas theme in Aistear at the moment. Elves are busy sorting out that naughty and nice list as well as building the toys for Santa. There’s sleigh rides and Christmas art too. Junior Infants made gingerbread men on Friday which was a real treat. We look forward to Read more

This month has been another busy time in the Presentation. We have celebrated Presentation Day, collected over 9o kilograms of coins and enjoyed Science Week!

The heaviest bucket came from First Class – their bucket weighed a massive 15.7Kg! A special mention to Ms. Sheridan’s class who topped the Read more

This week we prepared to celebrate Presentation Day. Presentation Day takes place each year on 21st November and it is the day when Presentation schools, convents and organisations celebrate the wonderful life of Nano Nagle and the work of the Presentation Order throughout the world.

As we can’t gather together as a whole school at present, we watched the prayer service at the same time, giving a sense of unity and togetherness throughout the school.  Thank you to all the teachers who helped in preparing for Presentation Read more
