School Football League

Over sixty girls from 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th class took part in the inaugural School Football League today. The girls were divided into four teams for both a Junior and Senior League. Each team played three games before the top two teams played in the league final. It was wonderful to see such a large number of pupils playing football. For some girls it was their first ever taste of competitive football. It was also very encouraging to see how much the girls have improved since we started training back in early September. Special thanks has to be given Read more

Liam McCarthy Visit

‘Tipp, Tipp, Tipp was the chant as Padraic Maher entered the Nagle Hall this morning, as he held aloft the Liam McCarthy Cup to rapturous applause.

Joining Padraic was Andy Ryan (GDA Tipperary), John Smith (County Board Representative) and Rachel Sweeney (Tipperary Ladies Intermediate Football Player). Isabelle Griffin formally welcomed them to the Presentation Primary School. Later pupils quizzed Paudie about his favourite game, toughest opponent, training routine and biggest achievements.

Ready, Steady….Soak!

On Friday the boys in Seoidín practised their fine motor skills by using water pistols to water the flowers outside. As you can see, the boys took this task very seriously at first and were concentrating hard on their jobs until someone discovered that the pistols could be used to soak people as well as plants…and then came the water fight!

FAI Futsal

Futsal Soccer On the 7th of October 2019, 4th class took a trip outside the school grounds for an active and exiting day out. We went to Peak Villa Soccer grounds to play Futsal Soccer.
