Presentation Primary School

The children enjoyed a magical few days in school this week. There was hot chocolate, pyjama parties, singing, art, storytelling, dancing and even a visit from the big man in the red suit!  The pupils had a wonderful day when Santa came to visit. Each pupil was given a small gift which was organised by our fantastic Parents’ Association. A special thank you to the parents who gave their time to organise this special event.  We hope all our boys and girls enjoy a fabulous Christmas. We wish all the parents a peaceful and restful holiday and we look forward Read more

The children looked amazing in their costumes and one could only admire their creativity and willingness to be part of the fun. A great day was had by all the boys and girls. Thanks to all the parents who encouraged the children to dress up and shared in the fun at the gate on the morning. Here are some images from the day.

Not to be outdone, our U13 team also claimed victory in their blitz, winning all four of their games. Their final match proved to be a thrilling encounter Read more

What a day to remember! Excitement levels were sky-high as the Liam MacCarthy Cup came through our doors, carried proudly by none other than members of the All-Ireland winning Tipperary hurling team.

Every single child in the school got the chance to hold the famous cup, and the smiles said it all.

Throughout September, the girls from 3rd to 6th Class trained together in preparation for the Tipperary Cross Country Championships. Their commitment and hard work were truly rewarded when a record 75 pupils — boys and girls — were selected to represent our school at the event in Thurles Crokes Athletic Field. The 3rd and 4th Class athletes tackled an 800m course, while the senior pupils from 5th and 6th Class faced the full 1000m. Competing in the Major Schools Section, each race saw up to 100 children on the start line — a real test of stamina and determination. All Read more

Our 1st and 2nd class pupils enjoyed a fantastic school tour to the historic city of Kilkenny. The day began with a fascinating guided tour of the stunning Kilkenny Castle, a majestic 12th-century Anglo-Norman castle full of rich history and beautiful rooms. The children were curious and engaged as they learned all about life in the castle long ago. After the tour, everyone enjoyed some well-deserved playtime in the nearby playground, where laughter and energy filled the air. The fun didn’t stop there – the day ended on a high with tasty food and a few exciting games of bowling Read more
