• PAUL PONDERS LIFE AS FUTURE MAZENOD PRINCIPAL

  Old Paradians’ Association President Dr. Paul Shannon has taken time out to briefly ponder life beyond 2021 when, as was the case with Andy Kuppe at Parade last year, he formally becomes the first lay Principal (of sorts) at Mulgrave’s Mazenod College.
  
  Paul takes on the Principalship in January, three months after completing his year-long secondment to St Kevin’s College as Acting Deputy Principal and a further month as Director of Learning at Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA).
  
  Reflecting on his recent years in education, Paul said there was a period around five years ago when he first harboured thoughts of seeking a Principal’s role – until the landscape shifted.

• CLASSES OF 1990 & ’91 30-YEAR REUNION POSTPONED

  In accordance with health and State Government advice, the 30-year reunion of the classes of 1990 and '91, which was to have been held at the Old England Hotel this Friday, July 30, has regrettably been postponed.
  Hopefully the reunion can be celebrated when it is safe for all concerned – or perhaps incorporated into the College’s 150th Year Gala Dinner, convened by the Old Paradians’ Association and scheduled for the evening of Friday, October 22.
  
  This is a very disappointing outcome, but everyone’s health, and safety must come first.

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.
