Students who have attended The Cathedral School for more than one year are automatically granted life-time membership of the Past Students’ Association.
The role of the Past Students’ Association is:
- to preserve a spirit of good friendship between past students of the School
- to foster and develop links with present students
- to promote the history and values of the School
- to foster and promote the welfare and interests of the School.
The Past Students’ Association is not a fundraising body. Its main purpose is to keep past students connected to the School, and it aims to do that through regular communication and facilitation of reunions. All past students are welcome to meetings. The dates are listed below and in the School Board Room (Heatley House) at 5.00pm. For more information please contact the PSA President Mr Tom Porter.

The Cathedral School Past Students’ Association –
Wall Of Honour
The Cathedral School has a proud history of alumni who have made a lasting impact in their careers, communities, and beyond. To celebrate their achievements and inspire future generations, the Past Students’ Association (PSA) is launching a ‘Wall of Honour’.
Recognising Outstanding Alumni
The Wall of Honour will acknowledge past students who have made exceptional contributions in areas such as:
• Service to the school
• Career achievements
• Sporting or artistic excellence
• Contributions to the wider community
Nominate a Past Student
Any past student can nominate a deserving candidate. Each year, the PSA Committee (with the ability to co-opt members) will select a small number of inductees. Their names will be unveiled on Foundation Day and featured on a dedicated Honour Board at the school, as well as on our virtual Wall of Honour.
• Nominations can be made posthumously.
• Unsuccessful nominations may be resubmitted the following year.
The first inductees will be announced in 2025, marking the centenary of the first Dawn magazine produced by the Old Girls’ Association.
How to Nominate
Submit a nomination for the inaugural selection via the form below.
Let’s honour the legacy of our past students and inspire the leaders of tomorrow!
