Students from 5th & 6th yr Art Classes and 6th year history class, travelled to Dublin on Tuesday last, arriving for a tour of the National Gallery of Ireland at 11.30 am. This Gallery houses a rich collection of over 12,300 artworks. Spanning the history of western European art from around 13,00 to the present day. Our students viewed highlights from the collection including Irish & European 19th and 20th century key works. Also showing was the AIB Portrait Competition Exhibition which is an annual competition for Portrait artists, with an under 18s category. From here we visited the National Museum, the Archaeology Section, where we were emersed in the beautiful artefacts from Pre Christian and Christian Ireland, as well as Mediaeval and Egyptian artefacts. Exposure to this wonderful national collection first hand will be of great benefit to our students and enhance their understanding and appreciation of our artistic historical legacy. A great day was had by all. Check out the pics, the architecture shots are courtesy of Max Ford 6th yr.

This year's theme, Science in Focus, challenged students to capture the essence of science through their lenses. Sam and Gabriel's photographs perfectly capture this theme and showcased their incredible talent and creativity.
Well done to both students!

Well done to all our 1st Yr. students who took part in the annual Preslink walk on Friday 22nd November.
Our 1st Yr. students set off from the school, heading up along the Mardyke Walk, in through Fitzgerald's Park and continued along the back of the Kingsley Hotel to the end of the Lee Fields before returning back the same route.
Thanks to our T.Y. students on the Preslink committee who stewarded the entire route, ensuring our 1st Yr. students were safe throughout the walk. Special mention to all the staff who helped with the smooth running of this event.
This annual event, in addition to all other Preslink fundraising events during the year, raises much needed funds for the Presentation Brothers projects in West Africa.
Thanks to all in the school community, students, parents and staff for their continued support of Preslink.
