Presentation Primary School

Today our Second Class girls celebrated the Sacrament of First Confession with Fr. Jim and Fr. Gerry. The intimate service was live-streamed on YouTube so parents could share in this special event. We thank Ms. Gleeson and Lorraine for all their hard work and effort to prepare the girls for this sacrament. We say well done to the girls for being so dedicated and thoughtful in their preparation for First Confession. We now look forward to First Holy Communion which we hope can take place sometime before the summer holidays. Here are some images from today and you can watch Read more

Today in school we celebrated our national holiday! Pupils brightened up the day by wearing the Irish colours and together we marched in a parade around our beautiful school grounds. This week last year, schools around Ireland closed for the first lockdown. As the days and months passed, more and more events and occasions were postponed or cancelled. Our children have missed out on lots of happy occasions which previously we took for granted. Today, we were delighted to be able to bring a little joy to all our lives by marching as one school community to celebrate St. Patrick’s Read more

It was a joy to behold as pupils returned to school on Monday with smiles and balloons to welcome back our boys and girls from Junior Infants to Second Class. Children skipped in the gate to meet their friends and teacher. While remote learning was fine, it cannot compare to face to face interactions and teaching. As the GAA slogan goes, nothing beats being there! There was a spring in everyone’s step as pupils enjoyed learning all about the change of season recently. There was plenty of time spent outside in the fresh air also. Here are this week’s highlights! Read more

This week we were delighted to hear the news that schools will begin the process of re-opening from Monday next. While it is disappointing that our senior girls will have to wait for another two weeks, we know now that the end of remote learning is in sight for them too. As we prepare to re-open, we are very aware that we must do everything we can to keep our children and staff safe over the coming weeks and months. This week parents will have received a copy of our school’s Covid Response Plan. This is the plan that we Read more

The week was made even more enjoyable when a blanket of snow brought out the inner child in all of us. Here are this week’s highlights. At the end of this blog you will find a gallery of nearly 200 photos for you to enjoy. We hope you all have a love filled weekend and we look forward to our mid-term next Thursday and Friday.

Many thanks to all our parents who completed our survey this week. The feedback is much appreciated and we were delighted to hear such positive and complimentary comments. We are equally grateful for all the suggestions and constructive comments.
