Past Pupils Union

History

​

The Christians Brothers College Cork Past Pupils Union, which was founded in 1931.  The inaugural meeting was held in the Physics Lab at the College on March 23rd 1931 and was presided over by Rt. Rev. Dean Sexton, who was one of a group of the first pupils in the College when it was opened in 1888. 

 

Dr. Walter Rahilly became the first President of the Union and Br. J.X O'Hanlon, who was principal since 1928 and Dean Sexton were elected Vice Presidents.  Ninety years on, there are over 800 globally enrolled members.

Mission Statement

​

At its first Annual General Meeting in 1931, the aims of the Union were "...to bring together its members, at least once a year, to renew friendships, to keep members in touch with the life and the progress of their school and undertake such activities as shall seem proper to members."

 

Ninety years on, the PPU is also focused on how we can support the college and its events, using monies for charitable purposes and organise functions
