Presentation Transcript
Our School Mission Statement: Ours is a Presentation Secondary School, inspired by the vision of Nano Nagle, and in response to her we welcome and cherish girls irrespective of ability or background. We aim to develop a vibrant community of Pupils, Staff, Parents, and Management, based on Gospel values such as justice, truth and honesty, in accordance with the ethos of the school and our agreed Code of Discipline and conduct. We aim to assist in the development of the full potential of each girl in a pleasant and safe environment, where the dignity of each member of the School community is recognised, affirmed and valued. We aim to awaken our girls to their true dignity and role as women in present day society. Inspired by these values we dedicate ourselves to the continual development of our Presentation School.

Book in a Bag Initiative classes are an hour Junior Cycle students There will be times during the school day when a teacher will be involved in a meeting, be engaged in professional development classes, be away with students on extracurricular activities or be absent due to illness. On all occasions class work will be assigned to students to do during supervised classes. There is no such thing as a free class Junior Cycle students in particular at times will have their assigned class work completed before the end of class. This year we are making it compulsory that all Junior Cycle students will have a reading book in their bag every day so as to ensure that they are making the most of every opportunity to read their books. The Year Heads at Junior Cycle will be overseeing this initiative in conjunction with the teacher responsible for the Library/Reading Initiatives.
