In Solidarity with our Past Pupils
The St. Mary’s College Past Pupils Union (the PPU) offers its deepest sympathy to any past pupils who were subject to abuse while attending St Mary’s College and stands in solidarity with those pupils.
The PPU is saddened to have learned that pupils were subjected to any such abuse and were not protected at the time. We would encourage anyone who has been affected by any abuse to seek the appropriate advice and assistance.
While the PPU does not have the necessary expertise to offer professional assistance, we would direct anybody affected to the following organisations, should they wish to avail of their professional help:
