Presentation College is hoping to achieve the Active School Flag which was launched by the Department of Education in 2009.It is a non competitive initiative which seeks to recognise schools that strive to achieve a physically active and physically educated school community.

In order to be awarded the Active School Flag Presentation College must

1.commit to a process of self evaluation in terms of the P.E. and physical activity opportunities that we offer

2.plan and implement a series of changes that will enhance P.E. and extracurricular provision and promote physical activity.

 

Team Quark from Presentation College was delighted to receive the news that they would be representing Ireland at the F1 in Schools World Championships, to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia this September. The team of six Transition Year students – Oisín McHugh (Team Manager), Brian Rowan (Graphic Designer and Marketing Manager), Grace Byrne (Resources Manager), Richard Mynhardt (Design Engineer), Graham Power (Manufacturing Engineer) and Niamh Brennan (Resources Manager), worked extremely hard to reach the National Finals. There, they finished Second Overall, received Best Digital Marketing, Best Verbal Presentation and Best Reaction Time. They were unlucky to miss out on First Place, losing out in their last race by 1/1000^th of a second. They are now collaborating with Team Celeritas from Sekolah Dato’ Abdul Razak from Negeri Seremban, Malaysia to form a collaborative team – Team Focus - for the World Championships.  
The team is offering a comprehensive sponsorship package for interested parties and would appreciate any form of support available. Families, individuals or organisations wishing to make a financial contribution may do so through the school website where a payment facility through Paypal has been established, or by sending a contribution to the school.
