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.

🏑 Benalmádena Hockey Tour Reunion 💙💛
What a fantastic gathering of KH Hockey past pupils at the KHPPU Mix Room— from the original Benalmádena Tour team right through to recent leavers from 2023–2025!

The stories, laughter, and energy made it feel like no time had passed at all. It was brilliant to see generations of KH hockey players connecting, reminiscing, and celebrating the shared spirit that defines our community.

A huge thank-you to everyone who came along — here’s to more great reunions and maybe even a friendly match or two in the future! 😉🥂

🌟 Class of 1975 – 50 Years of Friendship 💙💛
Half a century on, and still going strong! It was wonderful to welcome the Class of ’75 to The Mix Room on Saturday night for their golden reunion.

Laughter, memories, and stories from their KH days filled the room — a true testament to lifelong friendship and the enduring KH spirit.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this incredible milestone. Here’s to the next chapter! 🥂
