History

Presentation College Bray was established in 1921 by the Presentation Brothers. The chosen site, with the mountains as a backdrop and the Irish Sea in the foreground, was intended to have an uplifting effect onfuture students. From the beginning, the Brothers, inspired by their founder, Blessed Edmund Rice, cultivated in the College an atmosphere of love, friendship,trust and loyalty. The resulting spirit has now become a tradition of the College which has been enhanced by the fruitful relationship that exists between the College and the peoples of Bray and its environs. The College continues to foster a commitment to educational excellence in which theCatholic ethos is central to the daily life of the College.
