This Christmas we could not sing together and make music together like we look forward to and enjoy so much every year in Presentation College, Carlow. We felt we could not let the year that was 2020 close without performing a firm favourite of ours from all the Christmas carols, ‘O Holy Night’. For the last ten years the annual carol service in Presentation College has finished with ‘O Holy Night’ and we really wanted to create something special that could be shared with the whole school community as 2020 draws to a close. We are fortunate to have many very talented musicians in Presentation College and this video showcases just a few of them. Click on the picture above to listen and enjoy.

Today Mr Murray and Transition Year students made a presentation of  €1,100 to Deirdre Dunphy - the wife of Martin Dunphy who was badly injured in an accident earlier this year. A non uniform day held before Halloween was organised by Transition Years. 

 

Congratulations to Ms O'Looney and Mr Nolan who both retired this week from Presentation College. We wish them health and happiness in their well deserved retirement. Socially distanced celebrations were held on Thursday and Friday. They will be missed by all at Presentation College.
