Welcome to the Prince Alfred Old Collegians' Association
I am extremely humbled to become the President of the PAOCA.My time on the Management Committee has coincided with the timing of my two sons joining their cousins at the College. This opportunity to intimately revisit the life of a Princes student, witness the camaraderie amongst the students, their interactions with one another and the shaping of becoming a ‘Princes Man’, has reinforced how integral a role the PAOCA plays in expanding these qualities into adult life, long after our schooling is completed.
I would like to acknowledge the hard work and steadfast dedication of our outgoing President, Andrew Sullivan. I look forward to his support on the Management Committee as Immediate Past-President, as well as his continued friendship and counsel. Andrew has been supported by the irreplaceable Mary-Ann Standish, whose extreme organisation and tireless efforts arranging reunions, dinners and so many other events, will continue to be an invaluable resource to myself.
I am a firm believer that the PAOCA should act as a conduit between our members and the school itself. Headmaster David Roberts is always extremely generous with his time and offers clear and concise updates on all aspects of the College, and I look forward to providing you with periodical updates and meeting you in 2025.
