HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL
The St. Benedict College phase
Presentation College San Fernando's history began in 1930, when a small school called St. Benedict's opened in the basement of the San Fernando Presbytery on Harris Promenade. It was South Trinidad's first Catholic secondary school. Rev. Fr. Odilo van Tongeren, OSB, was appointed Principal of the newly established St. Benedict's College. Soon after, the school purchased and relocated to the Colony buildings, which were renovated to include a recreation hall, a library, and eight classrooms that could accommodate up to 190 students.
The Presentation College takeover
In January 12, 1948 the College of St. Benedict was handed over to the Presentation Brothers and the school was renamed to Presentation College. Bro. Livinus Kelly was appointed the first superior and Principal (1948-1952). The 'new' Presentation College opened its doors in 1948 with 400 students, and the rest is history.
