Green-Schools, known internationally as Eco-Schools, is an international environmental education programme, environmental management system and award scheme that promotes and acknowledges long-term, whole school action for the environment.
Presentation Primary School has participated in this programme since 2005 and has successfully achieved the following flags:
The Presentation camogie team, which is made up of 4th, 5th and 6th Class girls, have gotten their 2023 season underway!
The first game saw our team come up against a strong and physical team from St. Ursula’s, the girls fought for every ball and played with fierce determination, coming back from being twelve points down at half time, to being beaten by just one goal at the final whistle. An excellent come back from the girls, who were so unlucky on the day.
Friday saw our team line out against Holy Cross in Cleaboy. They put on a super performance and really worked together as a team. They won on a final score of 9-4 to 1-3. It was a great team effort and all 21 girls played a part on the day, while also having great fun!
A special thank you goes to our 5th and 6th Class supporters! We loved your posters and chants on the side-lines .
Huge congratulations to everyone on the team. We are so so proud of you. Pres Abú!
