Presidents Message
Dear Past Pupils,
Thank you for logging in to the Westland Row PPU website, and I hope this message finds you all well.
It is a great honour for me to take up the role as President of the Row PPU. During the 1960’s and 1970’s six of my brothers went to Westland Row School. The school gave us all a quality education which stood to us all over the years.
I also recognise and wish to acknowledge my good fortune that, since completing my Leaving Certificate in 1973, I have held on to my very good school friends.
I suggest that it is a time for all of us to acknowledge our good fortune and to give a little something back to the education system and to the current pupils of Westland Row. I recognise the huge efforts already put in by the Row PPU in facilitating contact between past pupils and in supporting the school financially and otherwise and I wish to thank them all for this. I respectfully wish to express the thought and hope that more ex-row pupils should join the PPU team. This is not a close organisation and all are welcome to join.
For many years Westland Row has had many female students and they are now an important part of the school. There is a need and an opportunity to encourage some of the many hundreds of female PPU past pupils to become members of the Row PPU and this is something the Committee is working on.
As President of the PPU I wish to express gratitude to the School Principal, Assistant Principal and to all the staff for their support to the PPU. During my term as President I hope we together can further develop this relationship.
Pat Neill
President
