As Principal and a past pupil of Presentation Secondary school, it is my honour to welcome you to our website.
Here, we hope you will gain an insight into the vibrant life, ethos, and community spirit of our school. Founded by the Presentation Sisters in 1798 and under the trusteeship of CEIST. Presentation Secondary School Waterford is an all-girls Catholic school that upholds a rich tradition of educating girls from Waterford inspired by the vision of Nano Nagle.
At Presentation, we warmly welcome every student, embracing their unique qualities and nurturing their individual potential. Guided by CEIST’s core values, we are committed to providing an inclusive and caring environment where each girl can receive a holistic education that meets her needs. We offer a broad and ever-changing curriculum, as we continuously strive towards providing for the needs, interests and aptitudes of all our girls. As demonstrated by the fact that this year we are the first school in Waterford, selected to offer “Theatre and Stage”, an exciting new Leaving cert subject.
We believe that every girl who joins us is unique, and it is our mission to help each one realize her full potential, fostering self-confidence and preparing her to make meaningful contributions to society. Students have access to a diverse array of extra-curricular activities and leadership opportunities which you will see from our website. We view these as being fundamentally important as we believe in a holistic education and understand the transforming power of leadership.
Here in Presentation Waterford, your daughter will be taught by excellent teachers who promote ambition and achievement, our role is to work with you to ensure that she reaches her full potential. Through a broad and balanced curriculum, we aim for excellence in both teaching and learning. We are committed to promoting equal opportunities and encouraging a sense of care and responsibility—for oneself, for others, and for the world around us.
As we look back with gratitude on the legacy of those who founded and nurtured this school community over the past 200 years, we honour the Presentation Sisters, clergy, families, and staff who have contributed to making it what it is today. Inspired by their achievements, we are motivated to build on this strong foundation and meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.
Thank you for visiting our website. I now invite you to explore and learn more about the vibrant life of our school community. Together, let us strive to make Presentation Secondary a place where every young person can flourish and become a positive force in our world.
