School History
Presentation Secondary School, Ballyphehane, was founded in 1966 as a Secondary Top of the 1950’s Maria Assumpta Primary School. In 1969 it became a full Secondary School under post primary Branch of the Department of Education and later initiated post Leaving Certificate programmes as well as being to the forefront of curriculum development. The school began with 18 students and now caters for up to 500 students. In 1987 a magnificent new extension was completed.
Our school has always being to the forefront of development. Its former Trustees, the Presentation Sisters, were founded by the pioneering Nano Nagle, whose vision of education for all has been implemented by the management and staff since our foundation. This has meant an open door policy towards every child and our school has been enriched over the years by students from cultures other than our own. Through these students, international links have been made, while strong links with the community are a vital part of the ethos of our school.
As the Global Village shrinks, we are constantly forging connections with the rest of the world, to assist in the development of every student.

Happening at Pres

Imagine spending a week out in the desert in a house full of fellow students and teachers you recently met. During the day, you cross the border to meet with migrants who speak a different language and learn about their lived experiences. One day involves a hike across the desert, providing a simulation of the immigration journey. That’s how Sophia, a student at Presentation High School, chose to spend a school break as part of the Kino Border Initiative immersion program.
We are excited to announce that Presentation High School's literary magazine, Boundless Volume V, Between the Lines, has been awarded the prestigious Recognizing Excellence in Art and Literary Magazines (REALM) distinction by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).
In a groundbreaking collaboration, students from Presentation High School have partnered with the Bellarmine Student Advocacy Club to champion a public policy initiative aimed at addressing mental health concerns among youth.

STUDENTS have eased back into school life once again after the summer holidays in Presentation Secondary School, Ballyphehane.
The principal of the Cork City secondary school Barry O’Shea said the students are already back in a routine. “The first-year students started back on Thursday, August 24 and all the students were back in on Monday, August 28. We are back in a routine. We are very happy with the number of first year students who have started with us. We have a very solid number,” he said.
The secondary school principal remarked that this year’s first year students at the all-girls school didn’t seem nervous at all.
“The first-year students weren’t that nervous at all. We have a very good welcoming programme for our first-year students. We have a serious of themed weeks. Week one we focus on homework, week two we focus on friendship and week three we focus on settling in. At the end of September, we have a celebration to mark the end of the first month in secondary school. We have a strong ethos of a supportive school where everybody rallies around the first-year students."
“It is a very close-knit school,” added the principal. “We have a very strong sense of community, and everybody looks out for everybody else. We have a couple of hundred students. It is a good size. The size still allows us to get to know everybody. Everyone in the school knows everybody on a first name basis. The class sizes also allow the teachers to get the best out of their students. It allows every student to achieve their full potential.”
Mr O’Shea said the secondary school possesses strong academic links with University College Cork (UCC). “Academically the school is doing very well. We have very strong links with University College Cork (UCC) through Access UCC and UCC PLUS+ Programme. Between 60% and 80% of our students on average progress on to university after the Leaving Cert. We have very high academic standards.
“Fourth year is a very strong year for our students both from an academic and extracurricular perspective. We do a lot of school tours. Our students last year had trips to Spain and Poland. They take part in lot of sporting activities. There is a very strong camogie tradition within the school as well,” he added.
The secondary school principal said their remit is to serve the needs of the local community.
“We get students from Ballinhassig and Ballygarvan, but principally from Ballyphehane, Togher and Turner’s Cross. We serve the local community well. The new teachers are settling in very well. The use of new technologies and new approaches to teaching are always highly valued in our school.”
Mr O’Shea added that they took the chance to upgrade the facilities in the school during the summer recess. “The school was established in the mid-1960s," he explained. "The older part of the building was opened in 1969. We have great facilities. We did a good bit of work over the summer. We opened a second computer room and a weights room. We have a state-of-the-art PE hall. We offer PE as a Leaving Cert subject, and we take sport very seriously in the school.”
The principal is looking forward to the academic year. “We are looking forward to a successful academic year. We want our students to be happy and to feel good in school. That is really valued as a cornerstone of doing well in school and progressing from an academic point of view.”
