Offaly school unveils its brand new crest
Reporter: );
Killina Presentation Secondary School has unveiled its updated school crest.
The new crest was designed after consultation with students, staff, past pupils and the Presentation Sisters, with the aim of capturing the essence of a modern, forward-looking school keenly aware of its roots and historical legacy.
Within the overall development framework and vision for the school, one of the areas explored was the identity of the school.
While the original crest was identifiable, the design was based on the generic emblem of the Presentation Order, which was a cross with the letters ‘PBVM’.
