A message from Brendan Toolan, President of the PPU
Dear Past Pupil,
Welcome to the rebranded website of the Presentation College Bray Past Pupils Union. The relaunch coincided with the centenary in 2021/22 of the founding of the school on Putland Road.
It was a great honour for me to be elected President of the Past Pupils Union as we celebrated 100 years of Presentation College Bray. This is my second stint as President having served during the Diamond Jubilee in 1996!
The fact that you are visiting this website indicates you have a keen interest in the Past Pupils Union and by extension the school. We hope you find it of interest as we record events both on and off the campus. We are in unprecedented times as we cope with the cost of living crises, increased interest rates and conflict in the Middle East as well as the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine following the global pandemic and its impact on our societyâs health and wealth!
The Past Pupils Union is facing a challenge. The number of âPaid-upâ members is relatively small considering the number of pupils who have passed through âPresâ over the years. I would encourage you to join the PPU . We do run a few sociable outings including the Annual Mass, Golf competition for The Scannell Cup and Presidents Dinner. However, our main aim is to make some positive impact on the fabric of Presentation College Bray. Most recently, we donated to the refurbishment of the Sports Pavilion. You can lend your support through The Centenary Fund  which is still accepting voluntary contributions of all sizes.
I would like to congratulate Gary Brennan who was elected Senior Vice President at the AGM in December. He will take over as President in 2025 after my 5 years in office. I would also like to thank, on your behalf, the very hard-working sub-committee whose profiles can be seen here .
Finally, I am sure you will join me in wishing the Principal, Martin Locke , the staff, the community, the pupils, the parents, and all associated with our Alma Mater, every success in 2024.
Kind regards
Brendan Toolan
President PPU 1995, 1996, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024

School Chaplaincy
“We will strive to place spirituality and religious education at the centre of school life.” Presentation Brothers, Chapter 2005, Vision Statement.
Brother Henry Spencer  works as a Chaplain in  Brebeuf College  in Toronto, Canada.
Brother Ray Dwyer (left) was chaplain at Presentation College Bray in County Wicklow. He previously served as chaplain in ColĂĄiste ChrĂost RĂ Â in Cork city.
Brother Patrick Fitzgibbon  was chaplain at ColĂĄiste ChrĂost RĂ Â in Cork city.
Brother Barry Stanton  was Chaplain at Presentation Brothers College, Cork before he joined the Provincial Leadership Team.
The work of the Presentation Brothers as School Chaplains is based to some extent on Constitution 52, from the Presentation Brothers constitutions, which reads:
“In the strength of our tradition we must strive:
- to proclaim afresh the power of God’s healing love;
- to defend the values of family life;
- to promote reconciliation and unity;
- to respond to the needs of the poor;
- to sanctify life, especially that of our youth.”

LEINSTER SCHOOLS SENIOR CUP FIRST ROUNDÂ
Blackrock College 49 Presentation College Bray 5Â
Defending champions Blackrock College sent out a statement of intent at Energia Park on Monday afternoon with a commanding triumph over Presentation College Bray in the opening round of the Leinster Schools Senior Cup.
Despite losing Mark Walsh to the sin-bin during the early stages of the contest, âRock broke the deadlock with a ninth-minute try from Tom OâRiordan. Following Walshâs return to the field of play, Tom Brigg and Mikey Yarr also crashed over the whitewash to give the south Dubliners a firm stranglehold on the action.
Pres Bray eventually opened their account with a powerful five-pointer courtesy of flanker Zach Kirby, only for Alex Mullanâs converted try to propel âRock towards a 28-5 interval lead.
The Williamstown school continued to make inroads on the resumption and moved all of 37 points clear by the 55th-minute thanks to additional scores from Mullan and OâRiordan. Vice-captain Michael Colreavy also crossed over inside the final-quarter to put the seal on an emphatic victory for the 70-time winners.
Scorers for Blackrock College: Tries - A Mullan 2, T OâRiordan 2, T Brigg, M Yarr. M Colreavy. Cons - O Coffey 6, H Whelan.
Scorers for Presentation College Bray: Tries - Z Kirby.
BLACKROCK COLLEGE: A Quinn; J OâSullivan, E Walsh, M Walsh, C Molony; H Whelan, O Coffey; T OâRiordan, M Yarr, A Mullan; M Colreavy, D McGuire; C Tonge, J Angulo, T Brigg.

Ski-Trip 2023
Ski Trip 2023 was a great success, with beautiful blue skies and perfect ski-ing conditions. Videos posted earlier on Instagram/Twitter shows the lads skiing with a certain panache. No less than we would expect from our Pres Boys!
A great bunch of lads by all accounts and I am sure the teachers weren’t too shabby either.
Enjoy the rest of the mid-term break everyone.
