Deferred Examinations This is an extract from a letter from the State Examinations Commission.
For the 2022 Leaving Certificate, it has been announced that a second sitting of the Leaving Certificate will be provided with access strictly limited to students unable to sit one or more papers in the main sitting in June on grounds of serious medical reasons and due to close family bereavement. For the 2022 examinations candidates with Covid-19 or with symptoms of Covid-19, will also have access to a deferred sitting of the examinations.
These are the links to three important documents setting out details of the deferred examinations series.

As you know three Leaving Certificate written examinations have already been completed during term time. The LCVP examination was held in schools on Wednesday May 4; LCA ICT on Wednesday 11 May and the LC Computer Science examination was held on Wednesday 25 May. Deferred examinations will be available for eligible candidates for these examinations also. We have a number of applications from schools for a deferred sit in these examinations and therefore we will be in direct contact with the schools who have submitted requests for the deferred sit on behalf of candidates to arrange for the deferred examination. The LCVP will take place on Wednesday 29 June in the regional centres set up for the deferred series while the Computer Science examination will be held will on Saturday June 18 in the candidates school.

The full decision can be accessed at the following link: Press Ombudsman and Press Council of Ireland Decision - Presentation College, Carlow v The Nationalist
The Board of Management would like to sincerely thank all those who stood by our school community during this difficult time - for the support we received from within our school community, local community and further afield.
Additional Accommodation Approval
The Board of Management is very pleased to welcome the approval by the Department of Education and Skills of substantial additional accommodation for our school, based on a long term projected enrolment of one thousand students.
This approval by the Department of Education and Skills is testament to the progression and development of the school over recent years and is a strong indicator of the reputation and status of the school moving forward. The provision of the additional accommodation will ease the annual oversubscription for places in our school and will enhance the top-class facilities already available to students.
The additional accommodation includes thirteen general classrooms, Staffroom, Multimedia Room, Music Room, DCG Room, Construction Studies Room, Technology Room, Textiles Room, two Science Laboratories, Pastoral Offices and associated circulation areas, student locker spaces and toilets.
Our school community looks forward, with excitement and anticipation, to the further development of Presentation College.
Statement re School - PE Uniform RegulationsThe rules concerning the correct wearing of our school uniform have not changed since previous years, other than the introduction of a half-zip top for First Year students this year.
Students are regularly reminded of school rules and regulations at Assembly.
The school continues to look after the pastoral care needs of all students through its excellent Pastoral Care/Student Support systems in the school.
Any queries in relation to the above from parents or students will be dealt with in the normal way through the usual school channels.
