The early history of Presentation College San Fernando begins in 1930, when a small school called St. Benedict’s was established in a lowly basement beneath the San Fernando Presbytery at Harris Promenade This was the first Catholic Secondary school in South Trinidad, and was set up in response to the requests of the Catholic population as well as many non-Catholic residents there. After repeated petitions to the Archbishop of Port of Spain, the latter directed the Benedictine Fathers of Mount St Benedict to start the college as a diocesan institute. On March 31 1930, the legacy began.
Under the spiritual directorship of Rev. Fr. Sebastian Weber, OSB and a teaching staff of two Mr. Vincent Ferrer and Mr. Mitchell.
St. Benedict’s opened with thirty two students on its roll, including such names as Gerard Robert Ken and Harvey Montano, Ralphie Gillezeau, the Espinet brothers, the Hart brothers (Edmund and Edwin), Steve Bennett, Elwin Maingot and Rex Latour. In November of the same year the Benedictine Fathers purchased the Colony Buildings and grounds at La Pique, nestled at the foothills of the San Fernando Hill. This six acre site was the former residence of the Governor during his visits to South Trinidad and cost some 5000 pounds to acquire.
The period saw the College football XI win the SAFA Second League for the Leiba Cup in 1934 it saw Roy Seon win a place on the SAFA forward line, the first College student to play representative football. It also saw its first Cantata and other concerts organised by Mr. Churchill Johnston, a tour to St. Vincent in 1937 and another to British Guiana in 1939, and several open air boxing tournaments. Cricket coaching sessions during this time by ex-international cricketer George John and BG Intercolonial cricketer, Chatterpaul Persad, would later realise results in the form of the invitation of several of our College players to the trials of Intercolonial cricket.
Additions to the teaching staff were J.E. Borneo, Ken Mungal, F.A. Hoyos, E. Lowe, Cecil Lai Fook, Ben Winchester, Mrs. Andre, and Rev. Fr. Boniface OSB This period saw Ramnath(Ram) as the first tull time member of the grounds Club conducted by Mr. Hoyos.
This was the regime of Fr. Boniface, which saw the construction in 1945 of what is now affectionately known as the “Old Block’, the organisation of a Sea Scouts group and construction of a Boat Club, the introduction of the Prefect system (with Jim Paul and Terrence Greteau as the first Head Prefects), the start of the Legion of Mary, and the winning of the Cow and Gate Cup, emblem of supermacy in Intercollegiate football in Trinidad.
It was at this time that Mr. Mac, with the aid of Mr. Page, Captain of the Fleet-Air-Arm Football Xl, began to introduce the third back method of play in the College team which was then skippered by Jim Paul. Leon Leacock had already become famous as the youngest player ever to play representative in Trinidad when he was selected to represent the SAFA at the age of fourteen. John Streetly had begun to reveal his penchant for mountain-climbing by numerous assaults on the San Fernando Peak via the most inaccessible routes.
Rev. Fr. Willibrord Vonk, OSB joined the staff during this time, as well as Ralph Boland, Aubrey Garcia and Victor de Castro.
It is noteworthy that because of expenses, the Brothers paid themselves no salaries for the first three years. At that time there was only third of the buildings and facilities that we see today. Students were G.C.E. ‘A’ Level examinations for the first time in 1950 and the first distinctions at this level were in 1952.Bro. Kelly, the first Principal of Presentation College, immediately got down to the task of taking charge of the school. He worked diligently at repairing and maintaining the physical plant made significant changes to the curriculum and helped to place in jobs those students who were either intellectually disadvantaged, or were just Hot interested In matters of an academic nature. He also introduced a Special Stream catered to the highly intelligent Students. This would lead to the outstanding academic successes for which the College became known.
It was also during Bro. Kelly’s administration that the House System was introduced to the College. It developed a keen sense of competition while at the same time promoting team work and loyalty to a group. With the House System at its base, a very successful intra-college league was established, both for football and cricket, and College teams improved their performances remarkably.
Principals (1948-1975)
Irish Presentation Brothers who served as Principals were:
Bro. Livinus Kelly (1948–52) Bro. Liam Dromey (1952–53) Bro. Bartholomew Browne (1953–56) Bro. Macartan Sheehy (1956–57) Bro. Jerome Kelly (1957–69) Bro. Anselm O’Callaghan (1969–71) Bro. Matthew Feheney (1971–75) Bro. Michael Samuel (1975–2002) Mr. Simon Rostant (2002-2003) Mr. Errol Jaikaransingh (2003–2013) Mr. Dexter Mitchell (2013–present)
The daily Morning Assembly which has become a feature of College life, and to which many past students refer, was introduced by Bro. Matthew Feheney. He was very interested in music himself and encouraged the formation of an ensemble as a backup for the hymns sung at Assembly.
First Local Principal (1975)
Bro Michael Samuel became the first local principal in 1975 Under his principalship the school saw a shift away from an emphasis on scholarships to a greater concern on nurturing and maintaining a close family spirit. Every student was encouraged to contribute to the corporate spirit of the College and their individual talents were recognised as far as this was possible.
An ambitious building and renovation programme was started which included the construction of the present Library and College Chapel, a second Lawn Tennis court, a squash court, a Basketball court, a further extension of the 61h Form Block, a steel Pan Shed, a spacious Music Room, the extension and air conditioning of the Staff Room and the creation of the Deans’ Offices and an Office for the Vice Principal. The Audio Visual Room boasts equipment second to none in the island and a forty Station Language Laboratory was acquired from Norway and installed. The College also boasts of a Computer Room with 16 stations (though there is always a need for upgrading of equipment). The Office of the Principal and the Secretary’s Office were expanded to provide room for the additional personnel that had become necessary with the expansion of the school population from 680 to 840 students The College has started the construction of a 25m swimming pool and a smaller 10m treading pool in what is known as the quarry area to the East of the present playing field at Carib Street. The name of the pool will be “The St. Michael’s Swimming Pool”. It is expected to be opened in 1998. Other development projects include the construction of a Cafeteria Block parallel to the Old Block, the upgrading of toilet facilities and the expansion and development of the Administrative Offices and Lobby.
Presentation College awards outstanding departments
Presentation College, San Fernando, has named its information and communications technology (ICT) department, and security department, as departments of the year for the academic year 2020/2021.
Principal Dexter Mitchell recognised the departments in a ceremony at the school on January 12.
Though schools were physically closed at the start of the pandemic in March 2020, Mitchell said the school’s security secured and maintained the school’s compound while the ICT department ensured a smooth transition to online learning.
He told Newsday, “We decided to honour those members of staff who went way beyond the call of duty during the pandemic.
“While everybody was off compound, they (the security department) were here 24/7 and they went way beyond the call of duty.
“They accepted messages, mails and they even took it upon themselves to maintain the physical compound in terms of cleaning at no extra cost to us.”
Efforts by the ICT department included training students and teachers on how to operate online learning and teaching systems.
Information Technology teacher, and dean, Terrence John was awarded teacher of the year.
Mitchell raved, “He (John) would have led the ICT department and led the initiative in terms of training staff who could have called on him at any hour of the day or night.
“He really facilitated even me as principal who was struggling with the technology.
“He also did formal training with teachers across the country and in the Caribbean.”
Teacher Vidya Sookdeo was recognised for helping students with their social welfare needs.
Catholic Education Board of Management (CEBM) CEO Sharon Mangroo attended the ceremony and applauded the school’s ICT department for its efforts to help students and teachers navigate online learning.
She also highlighted the department assisted other schools that were managed and not managed by the CEBM.
Mangroo said, “This school from the outset of the pandemic has been very supportive and have demonstrated the value of Catholic education.

‘By 2013, St. Joseph’s Convent, San Fernando will be a more dynamic, caring educational community, which, guided by Catholic principles and valuing society’s diversity, develops exemplary women within a broad-based, technology-rich curriculum.’
MISSION STATEMENT
To provide an educational environment based on Catholic values which fosters the holistic development of young women while instilling a strong sense of excellence, service and self.
A BRIEF “INTRO” ABOUT THE SCHOOL – GENERAL
St. Joseph’s Convent, San Fernando shares the philosophy of education common to all the St. Joseph’s Convents, located here in Trinidad and Tobago and around the world. It was established on May 07, 1882, by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny, whose foundress, Blessed Anne Marie Jahouvey, was concerned with the development of each human being to the full measure of perfection intended by God. A guiding principle of our school, as passed on by Blessed Anne Marie, is for the liberation of people from all forms of oppression and ignorance.
A BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT THE SCHOOL
In 1882, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny came to the south and established a Convent and a school in the town of San Fernando. In 1891, a new school was built and in the 1920s, the Secondary School came of age and presented its first candidates for the Overseas Cambridge Examination with outstanding success. This was due to the zeal and dynamism of Sr. Elizabeth Smyth who pioneered secondary education in the San Fernando Convent. In 1934, the foundation stone was laid for a new building, which was finished, in the following year. The Convent school continued to flourish and during the forties further classroom accommodation was provided through the acquisition of the Army and Red Cross huts. Domestic Science was added to the curriculum to train the girls in cooking and Home Management.
As numbers began to grow, the Montano building across the road was purchased to meet the ever-increasing demand for school places. The residence provided classrooms, staff room, library, Art and Commercial rooms, and grounds for netball and tennis, Guide meetings and sporting activities. The residence was named ‘St. Philomena’s’ after Mother Philomena Butler, former Superior and Principal.
In 1973, Sr. Theresa Corbie became the Principal and erected the three-storey building on the south side of the quadrangle, giving more space to classrooms. On Sr. Theresa’s retirement in July 1985, Sr. Phyllis Wharfe succeeded as Principal. Sr. Phyllis’ vision and drive then brought to reality a number of new facilities for Science, Food Technology, Art, Library, fully equipped IT labs, several multi-media facilities and the prayer room. Her care and concern for staff was evident by her investment in the expansion of the staff room as well as the provision of a staff lounge and lunch area. Under her tenure, she initiated and supported procurement of technological tools, equipment and space.
Presentation College, San Fernando
To form well-rounded and balanced youth with God as the center of their lives to inculcate practical awareness of their underprivileged brothers and sisters.
A BRIEF ‘INTRO’ ABOUT THE SCHOOL- GENERAL
The early history of Presentation College, San Fernando begins in 1930, when a small school called St. Benedict’s was established in a lowly basement beneath the San Fernando Presbytery on Harris Promenade. This was the first Catholic secondary school in South Trinidad and was set up in response to the requests of the Catholic population – as well as many non-Catholic residents – there. After repeated petitions to the Archbishop of Port-of-Spain, the latter directed the Benedictine Fathers of Mount St. Benedict to start the college as a diocesan institution, and on March 31, 1930, the legacy began.
In 1947, the Presentation Brothers came to Trinidad. In 1948, the Benedictine Monks handed over St. Benedict’s College to the Presentation Brothers on January 12th. Presentation College started with 400 students. Bro. Livinus Kelly was the first Principal and served until 1952. In April 1993, Pope John Paul II declared the Irishman, Brother Edmund Rice, Founder of the Presentation Brothers, to be a man of heroic virtue and holiness and worthy of the title.
In 2003, the Presentation Brothers handed over Management of the two Colleges to the R.C. Archdiocesan Education Board of Management. Errol Jaikaransingh was appointed one year later, 2004, as the Principal. He was the first lay Catholic Principal.
To achieve school effectiveness and accomplish our mission we will:
Develop partnerships with all the key stakeholders in education using linkages between the CEBM/Catechetical Office, MOE, corporate citizens, parents, teachers and students to achieve success for all, and ultimately create an educated society.
Empower all stakeholders through mutual respect, dialogue invitation and engaging them in activities to accept responsibility for lifelong learning and nation building.
Build a strong school community with reduced class sizes in an up-to-date facility for students in Junior School (std1-3).
Train students to use knowledge and skills that come from a challenging but relevant curriculum which includes core academics with special emphasis on literacy and numeracy, technology, fine arts science, social studies, physical education and religious education.
Encourage students to study and process information effectively, think critically and analytically and transfer their knowledge in everyday situations.
Provide a safe and orderly environment where students will show creativity, work co-operatively and have respect for self and others.
Provide professional development for teachers and parents through staff meetings and P.T.A.T. meetings.
Ensure curriculum implementation through supervision and class visits.
St. Gabriel’s Girls’ R.C. School is committed to providing quality education and training for all students in a nurturing, compassionate, Catholic environment; such that all learners are empowered to perform to the best of their ability and to demonstrate respect, honesty commitment, responsibility and co-operation to all members of society in a rapidly changing technological world.
A BRIEF “INTRO” ABOUT THE SCHOOL- GENERAL
St. Gabriel’s Girls’ R.C. School is a Government Assisted Primary School which falls under the Catholic Education Board of Management and falls within the Victoria Education District. The school is well-known for holding a rich tradition of high academic achievement and discipline. A Catholic education at St. Gabriel’s Girls’ nurtures sound human values for the formation of intelligent persons who will become good citizens of this world.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL
At the request of Fr. Pere Andre Violette, the parish priest of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, the sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny founded St. Gabriel’s Girls’ R.C School in 1882. The school or “Mother School” as it was then called, opened with ten students in a small wooden building in the court yard of the nuns’ convent. The area, which is now the nearby Cluny Centre, was too small to house a growing school population of more than three hundred students. In 1938, a new school was built at the corner of Lord and Paradise Street on lands purchased by the Catholic Mission. The school under the leadership of the Sisters of Cluny enjoyed great success, attaining first place throughout the country in academics and aesthetics. St. Gabriel’s was one the first schools in the country to prepare students for London General Certificate Examination more commonly known as G.C.E. In 1964 thirteen girls graduated from the school with full certificates in the G.C.E. examinations.
Sr. Anne Abrams had the West Wing constructed in a bid to more adequately educate the burgeoning school population which then stood at one thousand (1,000) students. This new annex made room for approximately eleven (1,100) students. In 1977 Sr. Maria Garland had the L shaped East Wing constructed with provision for a library, art room, staff room, medical room and additional classrooms. St. Gabriel’s continued to excel and boasted a stimulating learning environment, impressive discipline, strong religious and moral values and a diversified curriculum. The demand for school places was great and the number on roll increased to one thousand two hundred and thirty one (1,231) students. New trends in education and guidelines from the Ministry of Education resulted in the gradual reduction of the student intake over the years; such that the school population now stands at seven hundred and twenty six (726) students. Faith in God has allowed St. Gabriel’s Girls’ R.C. School “to do and to dare in every realm and sphere,” and to hold top places in the country in academic and non academic subjects. With the help of hardworking trained professionals, a dedicated and supportive P.T.A.T., a School Chapel, a new and versatile Learning Resource Centre, an improved library facility, a refurbished well equipped Computer Laboratory and other improved amenities, the school remains poised to continue pursuing the “path of effort and excellence”.
San Fernando Boys’ R.C. School will be a learning institution par-excellence, where intellectual, social and spiritual growth will be the essence of all – growth that would make a people adaptable and competitive in the future. Our teachers will execute their duties with the highest commitment and love.
MISSION STATEMENT
San Fernando Boys’ R.C. School will in an atmosphere of professionalism and human concern strive to facilitate the holistic moulding of its students, as we prepare them for higher educational development. We shall endeavour to do this by embracing all relevant components of the school curriculum thereby fostering an internalization of respect for God and fellowmen. We shall also strive to impart skills and values critical to the development of responsible model citizens in a modern technological society.
A BRIEF “INTRO” ABOUT THE SCHOOL- GENERAL
San Fernando Boys’ R.C. School prides itself on being one of the premier Catholic boys’ schools in Trinidad and Tobago. The rich tradition of academics, combined with sport and physical education, music, culture and cub scouts, has placed our school among the crème de la crème in the country. The holistic development of every child is a mission which we share with the Ministry of Education, and indeed it is said that a Boys’ School boy is found in every sphere of life across the globe. Many persons, who hold key positions in both the public and private sectors, can boast of being educated at San Fernando Boys’ R.C. School. Not only our boys, but our teachers have also gone on to do well, since from 2008 to 2013, at least 10 persons have gone on to become school administrators in the Caroni, St. Patrick and Victoria Education Districts.
In the early days the school was a wooden one-storey building at 18, Harris Promenade in 1890 with a population of twenty-four students. In 1932 it was lifted to a two-storey building and renumbered as 22, Harris Promenade. In the 1960’s the school was demolished and rebuilt in 1968 to a three storey concrete structure. In 1983 a new wing was added to accommodate the cafeteria, a library and additional classes to house the rise in student population. At present the population stands at approximately one thousand, four hundred more than it was built to accommodate. This additional intake together with lack of space for recreational activities has impacted on the discipline, standards and climate of the school.
The third principal, Mr. Ernest Walters, now deceased is the one who was instrumental in making the school what it is today, one of prominence and prestige. He served for thirty years (1910-1943). Many memorable achievements were gained under his astute leadership, one of which occurred in 1910 when four pupils won college exhibitions out of an island-wide total of ten. A total of eleven principals served after Mr. Walters who will always be remembered for his outstanding and charismatic leadership. Our school participates in various competitions such as Reading, Mental, Spelling B, Sporting activities and the Arts.
Catholic Children on Fire for Christ (CCFC) is the name given to the programme of Evangelization in government primary and secondary schools. Deborah de Rosia of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal was appointed by Archbishop Edward Gilbert in 2002 to be responsible for the overall running of the programme in Trinidad and Tobago.
These southern schools are served by a team of 27 dedicated and committed men and women who go once a week to share the faith with students. The group, under the leadership of coordinator Viere Ghatt of OLPH, meets every second Tuesday of the term.
The CCFC organizes seminars, methodology workshops, yearly retreats and a Christmas luncheon for its catechists. Apart from the obvious benefit of this programme to our young people, it is also extremely fulfilling for those involved as teachers; but many more are encouraged to volunteer for this very satisfying work.

The Passing of Br. Michael – Presentation Brother
It is with great sadness that I write on the passing of Br. Michael Samuel, a Roman Catholic stalwart, school principal, teacher and community leader.
The high school (British: secondary school), I attended just a few short years ago would not be the institution it is today without his contribution. A school that’s considered to be the best in the Caribbean, producing two of Trinidad and Tobago’s most recent Prime Ministers, our current President, countless lawyers, doctors, judges, businessmen, scientists, clergymen, music artists, football stars and more, is due to the hard work Brother Michael put into the development of Presentation College, San Fernando.
You can read more on Brother Michael and his contribution to the development of the Caribbean’s premier educational institution, via the Trinidad Express’ article on his passing . The President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago had this to say on his passing:
I am shattered by his sudden death although I was very much aware of his health challenges. He was a guiding light in my life, like so many others, not only as a principal but as a teacher and he was someone I felt proud to call a mentor and a friend. At Presentation College, San Fernando, he was a firm disciplinarian but someone who cared genuinely for the welfare and upliftment of his charges. There was never a dull moment in his disposition and interaction with others. I can still see that broad engaging smile and recall the magic of his laughter. His joie de vivre was infectious. Personally, over the years as a state prosecutor, judge and now President, his words of encouragement inspired me. Brother Michael always felt an enormous sense of pride by virtue of his association with Presentation College, San Fernando. His legacy, as an educational luminary that carved and moulded students into men of calibre and substance, is assured. It was an unforgettable and touching honour for me to present him with a national award last year. He never spoke ill of anyone and believed in the best of us. I am simply shattered by his loss.
We are always, Proud to be Pres.
and God knows best.

Presentation College, San Fernando
Oh Lady of Presentation, For us we bid thee pray, thee pray; That college days may be of worth, While we our time abide on Earth, And trials face each day. " As students of Presentation, We pledge to ever be, to be; Brave soldiers in the bitter strife, For self assertion in this life, And men of dignity. It matters little where we go, In the years that lie ahead, ahead. The knowledge which we here acquire, Shall help our nation to aspire, For we are men sincere. Majestic on its verdant Hill, Our school o'er looks the sea, the sea. It stands a monument to those, Who all their lives to serve it chose, That it fore'er may be.

CAST 2021 grads told to enhance Church’s communications
Presentation brothers college celebrates 75th anniversary.
Caribbean Church
Presentation Brothers College (PBC), located at Old Fort, St George’s, was rededicated on January 21 to begin its 75th anniversary celebrations. The school was established on that date in 1947. “We pray God continues to bless this institution and all associated with it,” said Vicar General Fr Carl Haynes, himself a graduate, before blessing the building and classrooms with holy water. The anniversary theme is Celebrating our contributions to national building. Speaking during the ceremony, Fr Haynes traced the college’s history, which began with an invitation by then Archbishop Finbar Ryan OP of Port of Spain to the Presentation Brothers in Ireland to establish a secondary school in Grenada. At the time, the Church in Grenada was not a diocese and fell under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Port of Spain. Fr Haynes said PBC therefore embraces the objectives of Catholic education which is “to provide an environment in which students build and deepen their relationship with God, foster academic culture amidst the pursuit of truth, and actively promote growth” in the cardinal virtues of “prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance”. “PBC has given 75 years of quality to the nation, producing exemplary men not only in Grenada but around the world.” He cited the school having among its alumni three prime ministers in Grenada, and recalled that years ago while studying at the Seminary of St John Vianney and the Uganda Martyrs, Mt St Benedict, Trinidad, he had learnt that its brother Presentation College, San Fernando, had produced two prime ministers. He said the Presentation Brothers had “given birth to four children”: Presentation College, San Fernando; Presentation College, Chaguanas; St Mary’s College, St Lucia; and Presentation College, Barbados. Fr Haynes said the Church has always “promoted the dignity of the human person” who has a God-given right to education, and referenced the Vatican Council II document, Gaudium et Spes. One role of Catholic education, he said is “to help students develop and encounter their true calling in life”. Welcoming invited guests and those viewing the livestream, Principal Dominic Jeremiah described the event as “a significant day in the life of PBC”. Jeremiah extended greetings to the School’s Board, representatives of the Ministry of Education; The Sisters of St Joseph of Cluny (SJC), which donated the land on which the school sits; the PBC Alumni Association New York; past and present students, teachers, and parents. A student read from Romans 12:10–13, while visiting Presentation Brother Dennis offered the Prayer of Thanksgiving for teachers, the SJC, parents, benefactors, governments that have supported the school, and students. Chair of the 75th anniversary committee, Adrian Francis gave the vote of thanks. The rededication ceremony ended with a minute’s silence observed for the Presentation Brothers, teachers and students who have died over the past 75 years. An anniversary Mass planned for January 22 was postponed to a later date because of an increase in Covid-19 cases. —RS
