School Profile
Presentation Secondary School Thurles is a Voluntary Catholic Secondary School for girls, operating under the Trusteeship of CEIST. As such, it supports the religious and educational philosophy of its foundress, Nano Nagle.
Since 1817, the Presentation Sisters have been involved in education in Thurles, where they have dedicated themselves to serving the community by providing primary and secondary education in the town. Our Secondary School was built in 1970. In 2017, our school celebrated the Bi-Centenary of Presentation education in Thurles.
The school is managed by a Board of Management; is funded by the Department of Education and Skills; and operates within the regulations and guidelines set down from time to time by that Department. The school has a very active Parents' Association and a strong Students' Council.
Working together as a school community, the Board of Management, parents, staff and students aim to provide an environment which will allow each student to develop intellectually, physically, morally, socially and spiritually, so that they will be able to fulfil their role in society.
Our Mission Statement
As a Presentation School, we promote the dignity of our pupils by educating them in a Catholic environment, nurturing and encouraging their personal development, thus empowering them to achieve their full potential as individuals and as members of society.
