• DR DENIS MOORE INDUCTED INTO OPA HALL OF FAME

  ​As part of a glorious farewell assembly acknowledging his 25 years at the helm, outgoing Principal Dr Denis Moore was inducted into the Old Paradians’ Association Hall of Fame, on an historic day in which the Bundoora Campus’ College Hall was renamed in his honour.
  
  Old Paradians’ Association President Dr Paul Shannon presented Dr Moore, a fellow Old Boy of Parade, with a glass memento acknowledging his induction.
  
  “In 2010, the Old Paradians’ Association was struggling for relevance and it was under Br. Denis’ leadership and vision that it was revitalised into what it is today for future generations,” Paul said.
  
  “Br. Denis has been and continues to be a good shepherd, a servant leader, a visionary, mentor and friend to a great many people. Br Denis is someone we all love very much, and I couldn’t think of anybody more worthy induction into the Old Paradians Hall of Fame.
  
  “On behalf of the Old Paradians’ Association, it is my great pleasure this afternoon to induct Br. Denis into the Old Paradians’ Association Hall of Fame.”

ABOUT

The Old Paradians' Association seeks to foster links with all past students, whose formative years were shaped by the Christian Brothers of Parade College.

Formally established in 1914, the Association’s inaugural 13-man committee included the President James Kennedy (who completed his Matriculation class at Parade in 1890), Reverend Brother JM Dwyer and the Rush brothers Robert and William, all of whom maintained a continuing interest in the Association for the rest of their lives.
