The Past Parents’ Association (PPA)
Message from the Chair
Dear Past Parent,
Whether your only son has left the College or one has left and you still have more in the school, you are a Past Parent. And you are most welcome to join our Past Parents Association.
We know many of you have made great friends through your son’s journey through the College and the Past Parents Association offers an opportunity to keep up that contact.
We have a range of activities to allow you keep in touch, from coffee mornings, to cycling and walking groups and every December we arrange a gorgeous Christmas Carol concert with the Parents Choir followed by a mulled wine and mince pie reception. And as we are only a few years old, we are open to all ideas for new and fun things to do.
Dermot Horan
