Lovely to see past pupil Julie Orr featured in the Wild Geese column in today’s Irish Times business section.

The piece – “Opportunity beckons in East Africa, says Kildare woman based there for 20 years” – highlights Julie’s two decades living and working in East Africa and the opportunities she sees emerging there for Irish businesses and professionals.

It’s always inspiring to see members of the KHPPU community making an impact across the world – well done, Julie 👏🌍

It was a lovely service today as we said farewell to our friend, past pupil, and teacher, Dave Clarke.
Rev. and past pupil, James Reid noted that you only have to look at the KHPPU page to see the outpouring of affection from past pupils and colleagues.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to share condolences, memories, and anecdotes—they have meant a great deal to Dave’s family and to all who knew him.
