We in the Presentation Secondary School, Galway, are a Catholic school community which encourages and fosters Christian values, promoting a sense of mutual respect, responsibility and self-esteem in each pupil and member of staff.
We aim to foster, in co-operation with parents, a caring school community in which we strive to develop each dimension of the pupil: the spiritual, moral, aesthetic, intellectual, physical and emotional.

A Brief History of the School

  Since their small beginnings in 1815, when the pupil intake was just thirty, the Presentation Schools have expanded both at Primary and Secondary level and have moulded the lives of thousands of young people from every part of Galway City and beyond.
  It is a proud tradition and one we are priviliged to carry on. While keeping abreast of the many varied and exciting changes in education in today's world, the Christian and cultural values of those early days will never change and will continue to be fostered in each new generation of "Pres" students.
