“The atmosphere was electric as students from various year groups were honoured for their hard work, participation, and the endless efforts they have put into not only their studies but also their growth as individuals within our community,” said Principal Finucane.
“The joy and pride on the faces of teachers, and fellow students were a testament to the supportive environment that Presentation fosters.”

Our students are not just learners but leaders, innovators, and compassionate citizens of the modern world. We look forward to seeing all that they will achieve in the years to come,” concluded Principal Finucane.
