Presentation Primary School

Congratulations to these wonderful boys and girls who made their First Holy Communion in the Cathedral of the Assumption last Saturday. Indeed this was the first time for boys to make their communion in the Presentation as a coeducational school. We thank most sincerely, Fr. Joe for his beautiful ceremony, the choir and teachers involved for the music, Ms. Fanning for preparing the children so diligently, Rosaleen for the individualised booklets and of course the children for being so amazing on the day.

This week we celebrated Arts Week and the children enjoyed a range of activities including Dance, Art, Cookery and Magic! A massive thank you to all the parents who so generously donated to our Arts Week Donation collection. Your support made it all possible! Thanks also to Ms. Sheridan for coordinating the week and all the team here in Presentation Primary for their effort and support. Here is a collection of photos from the week…

On Wednesday, our two Volleyball teams headed off to Kilkenny to take part in the Volleyball Regional Finals. The blitz took place in the impressive venue that is The Watershed.

The Watershed was a busy venue on the day with schools travelling from Dunamggin, Fethard, Kilkenny City and beyond. Presentation Pythons won their first two games and drew their third against a very skillful Dunamaggin Read more

The children enjoyed lots of mindful activities and worked together for lots of art, music, drama and meditation. The week began with a whole school assembly and our Wellbeing Committee performed a short drama called ‘The Wrinkled Heart’. This story encourages the children to be kind and to be a good friend. On Tuesday the children carried out random acts of kindness and spread seeds of kindness around the school. We also unveiled our “Calm Corner” which is a beautiful new space Read more
