My daughter has recently started in Presentation Secondary School Tralee and from the moment she went into the school she felt at ease.  She was introduced to their first year Induction Programme Tùs Maith which guided them through their subjects and their new timetable in the first week. She has made new friends and has the opportunity to take part in a number of lunch time clubs and activities in the school.
