ACTIVE SCHOOL FLAG

Congratulations to Presentation College, Carlow who received the Active School Flag on Friday January 27^th from the Department of Education and Skills in recognition of our schools’ endeavours to achieve a physically active and physically educated school community.

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

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.

The Active School Flag remains valid for a period of three years.

We are very proud of our achievement in securing the Active School Flag and firmly believe in the importance of physical exercise as part of our students’ lifestyle contributing to their overall health and well being.

 

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.
