I have been using a MacBook Air for two years now. Recently, I was interested in disabling my Notification Centre due to it being unneeded and to help with preventing distractions. I did not see a feature like the intent to disable the Notification Centre via Screen Time after looking. I assume there is a Terminal command which can be ran?

You can’t disable the entire Notification Center, but you can allow/disallow notifications:

Change Notifications settings on Mac

Allow notifications: Turn notifications on or off. When you turn notifications off, the alert style and other notification options are dimmed.

Use Focus instead

That said, I do not recommend turning off notifications. They are there to alert you to timely/important things. Instead, I highly suggest your configure and enable a/some Focus schedules. I have several configured: Head Down (intensive work), Work (less intensive), and Open. Some are scheduled while others are manually activated. It will silence notifications during that focus time.
