Mission
Presentation College is a Catholic school founded by the Presentation Brothers. It is a Christian community of students, staff, parents and management, with a strong tradition of family loyalty. The characteristics of this school community are Respect, Care, Tolerance, Compassion and Justice. The College believes in a positive approach to discipline. Students are guided and encouraged to accept responsibility for their own behaviour.
The College values academic excellence and offers a curriculum which best meets the needs of the students within the context of available resources. Our wish is to enable the release of the God-given talents and potential within each student. We follow a six-year cycle.
The education offered includes the development of confidence and a healthy self-image. Therefore, skills and competencies necessary for life are prompted and actively encouraged, as are sports, culture and leisure-time activities. As a Catholic school and in the Presentation tradition, religious education has a central place in the life of Presentation College.
There is a social dimension to the education offered by the College. We seek to develop in our students an awareness of their social responsibility as Christians which expresses itself in positive action for justice and the poor in our society.
It is hoped that our students will look on their years in Presentation college as happy and fulfilling and continue the strong tradition of loyalty to the College.
Education is what remains when everything has been forgotten, according to Shaw. Our hope is that the young people leaving us at eighteen will be equipped and eager to face the challenges of University education and, later, those of life, with great confidence, and that they would, as a matter of conviction, be upright, honourable, responsible and Christian citizens.
