The last Golf Society outing was in 2019 then Covid happened.
During that time, the golf committee disbanded. Now we are delighted that two past pupils – Mary (Whooley) O’Brien and Beatrice Doran have volunteered to reignite the society.
The following date and times have been booked.
Friday 20th September in Edmondstown Golf Club
Tee Times: 9.30 - 11.00am
18 Hole golf €45
9 Hole golf €25
The outing is open to past pupils and their guests.
We need to know the level of interest, so if you wish to play please email Mary at marywhooleyob@gmail.com as soon as possible.

The Choir
In February 2017 the PPU decided to try something new – a choir. We picked a start date and waited to see if anyone turned up! We were delighted (and relieved) when 18 past pupils arrived to join.
We decided there would be no embarrassing auditions and all singing abilities are welcomed.
New members are always welcome and if you would like to enquire about joining please email us muckrossadultchoir@gmail.com.
Golf Society
Due to the Golf Society Committee disbanding during Covid there has been no outing since 2019.
If there are any golfing past pupils who would be interested in helping to arrange an outing in 2024 please contact muckrossparkppu@outlook.com

Spirit of Muckross Award
Congratulations to Sarah Robinson, winner of the 2023 Spirit of Muckross Award
The PPU and the school have continued to build and strengthen links. As part of the Centenary celebrations in 2012 the Union wanted to sponsor a new award in Muckross, an award that would recognise the spirit of Muckross, rather than a specific academic or sporting achievement. With the support of the school it was decided that the criteria for selection would be a 6th year who had demonstrated the following qualities during her time in Muckross:
generosity of spirit
interest and involvement in fundraising
kindness
manners
thoughtfulness
acting beyond the call of duty
involvement in social work
involvement in sports
