Preslink was founded in October 2005 with the purpose of raising awareness about, and forging links with Presentation Brothers schools around the world. In addition to this, Preslink works to help financially support Pres. schools in Africa.

Since September of this school year, through the various fundraising activities, Preslink has raised €19,432.78 This is phenomenal sum of money and we are very appreciative of the kindness and generosity of the parents of our students and the many local businesses that support Preslink.

Preslink is kept alive in our school through activities such as the sponsored walk for our 1st Yr. students, bag-packing in Dunnes Stores for our 2nd and 3rd Yrs., Christmas Raffle and the Christmas Carol Concert.

The total funds raised by Preslink to date, since its founding in 2005, is approx. €400,000. While this is a significant sum of money, it is as important to us that Preslink helps us all to remember the Presentation Brothers and the link between ‘The Brothers’ and us.

Preslink always welcomes new sponsors and we are happy to put people or businesses in contact with the Presentation Brothers if they wish to get involved in directly sponsoring projects in West Africa.

Thank you.

The annual Preslink Christmas Carol Concert was another huge success again this year! 

It was a lovely evening in the College Theatre decorated to fit the occasion. There was so much talent on show with performances from students, staff and special guests this year were the 'Cork Prison Officers Male Voice Choir'.

The concert, in addition to the raffle at the interval, helped raise vital funds for Presentation Brothers Projects in West Africa. 

This event could not have been possible without so much help, good will and sponsors - thank you all!!

This is a great night not to be missed!

Good luck to all the 5th Yr. students in Presentation Brothers College and the other city schools, who are currently collecting for S.H.A.R.E. 

This annual S.H.A..R.E. collection raises vital funds for the running of S.H.A.R.E. for the year ahead.

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.
