Transition Year Cycling

Our three Transition Year Cycling Ambassadors, Anna, Tara and Amy have organised a biking sessions for around fifteen Transition Year girls. This one took place on January 18th from 11.45 - 1.05 . The Ambassadors are organising these with the assistance of Ms Kavanagh as part of their #andshecycles Ambassador Programme. We are delighted to announce that the PE Department have purchased ten bicycles and helmets for students to use in school. We would like to thank the Green Schools Committee for promoting the introduction of cycling to the curriculum. We are currently working on the #Travel Theme.


An Update From The Green Schools Committee

This year, our Green Schools Committee is back up and running, working on the Travel Flag. Our committee first met in early November where we discussed our plan for the year. Our working committee is composed of mainly First, Second and Third Year students as well as our President and Vice-President (both Fifth Year students). We were also delighted to welcome teachers Ms. Dempsey, Mr. Fennell and Ms. Hanley to our committee....

Twenty-four Fifth Year students completed the three week Cycle Right programme this week run by South East Cycle safety and supported by the Green Schools initiative. This is our second year working on the  Travel Theme as part of our Green Schools Programme. We have also been successful in becoming an #andshecycles Ambassador school for the second year. We encourage all our new cyclists to 'be a part of the solution, not of the pollution'. Congratulations to Amy, Anna and Tara - our new Cycle Ambassadors.

Our Student Council recently decided to help out in our combat against litter here in Presentation College.  A competition was launched to see who could come up with the best idea and Kelly in Second Year won a One4All voucher for her idea to try and include as many students as possible in helping to keep our beautiful school grounds clean. On Monday, she was helped by Sammy.  A big thank you to their first helpers: First Years, Karina, Rory, Byron and Leo, who had a very big litter haul under a beautiful blue sky.  Student Council are also looking forward to the arrival of new litter bins to help in the fight against littering.  We hope students will realise how important it is to use the litter bins provided and to protect our environment.

Congratulations to our Green School Committee and members of the wider school community. We have been awarded our second Green Flag and this year we will be working on the 'Travel Theme'. We have already had a visit from the Travel Officer and she was delighted to see the many bikes parked in the bike parking areas. We have applied for covered parking and hope this will encourage more staff and students to cycle to school. This year as students may wear their PE uniform on PE days, we are hoping that more girls will consider cycling.

We are delighted to inform you that our application for the renewal of our Green Flag has been successful. Unfortunately, due the current situation, there will be no Green-Schools Awards Ceremonies this year. As soon the school re-opens we will celebrate with a flag raising in Presentation College. Congratulations to the committee, and all members of our school community on this achievement.
