Presentation Convent High School Rawalpindi

The Presentation Story began in 1895 in Rawalpindi, which was then part of the sub-continent, when Mother Ignatius McDermott, Sr. Evangelist Coatsworth arrived in Rawalpindi from Madras. The first Mass was celebrated on 8th September 1895 and the school was opened on 1st October- with ‘three Sisters, three pupils’. The school was for Christian children, the sons and daughters of army personnel, British and Irish. The overwhelming majority of the people living around them were Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims. In 1908 Mother Columba O’ Sullivan returned from Ireland with seven would-be postulants. As the years passed more Irish postulants gradually swelled the ranks and new foundations were made in the sub- continent:

Peshawar 1913, Murree 1917, Quetta 1923, Srinagar ,Kashmir 1936, Delhi 1939 and Sargodha 1946. After the partition of Pakistan the following Convents were opened: Risalpur 1948, Jhelum 1950, Wah 1951, Josephabad 1957, Swat 1965, Fatima Villa 1981, Tando Allah Yar 1986 and Khipro, Sindh in 2000
