Presentation Tralee has a very special connection with Cuan Mhuire as the former Principal, Sr. Bríd, works there as a counsellor and staff and students of the school are very proud of her dedication and time spent helping people experiencing addiction.
Cuan Mhuire is Ireland’s largest voluntary provider of Rehabilitation Treatment for individuals suffering from addiction and other related issues. Since its formation in 1966 by Sr. Consilio, Cuan Mhuire has treated over 75,000 people.
The school thanked the sponsors – Dunnes Stores, Maguire’s Butchers, Tesco and Waddings Butchers – as a very substantial amount has been raised for Cuan Mhuire. All students in Presentation took part in the annual no-uniform day – paying €2 for the pleasure !- which also contributed to the funds raised.
