It is my great pleasure, as Principal,

and on behalf of the dedicated staff and Board of Management of Presentation Secondary School, Tralee, to welcome you to our school website. Thank you for taking the time to visit us.

As you explore our site, I hope you gain a real sense of who we are as a vibrant 21st-century school — a place where tradition and innovation come together to provide an exceptional educational experience. You will learn about our wonderful students, our inclusive and supportive environment and the strong sense of community that defines life at Presentation, Tralee.

For our past pupils, we hope this site helps you stay connected with the life of the school, our events, and the achievements of our students.

Founded in 1809 by the Presentation Sisters, our school is proud of its rich history and long-standing tradition of educational excellence. Today, we remain deeply committed to the vision of Nano Nagle and the values of the Presentation Congregation, providing an inclusive and welcoming environment where every student is valued and supported.

At Presentation Tralee, we are a CEIST school rooted in a caring Catholic ethos. While our faith underpins everything we do, we are equally committed to offering a holistic education that is inclusive, respectful and celebrates diversity. Our aim is to nurture confident, compassionate, and resilient young people who are well-prepared for life beyond school and inspired to make a positive difference in the world.

We take immense pride in our academic standards and the quality of teaching and learning we offer. Our dedicated and talented staff work closely with students, challenging and supporting them to reach their full potential. We also place a strong emphasis on pastoral care, ensuring that every student feels safe, respected, and understood.

Beyond the classroom, our students enjoy a rich and varied extracurricular programme that encourages personal growth, creativity, teamwork and leadership. Whether through sport, the arts, community initiatives, or academic competitions, we provide opportunities for every student to shine.

We recognise that choosing the right secondary school is one of the most significant decisions for any parent or guardian. We hope this website gives you an insight into the welcoming, compassionate, and dynamic school community that is Presentation Tralee. Here, students are nurtured, challenged, and inspired to become confident young women — Pres girls who are academically capable, socially aware and ready to embrace the opportunities and challenges of the world beyond school.

If you would like to learn more about our school or discuss the opportunities we can offer your child, I warmly invite you to contact us. We would be delighted to welcome you to our school and share with you what makes Presentation Tralee such a special place to learn, grow and belong.
