Bursary Fund 10th Anniversary Lunch

The Bursary Fund was established in 2015 to provide bursaries for pupils from the Boys’ Model moving in to third level education and so to celebrate 10 years of Bursary Awards a Celebratory Lunch was held in October 205 at the Reform Club , Belfast. Some 100 guests enjoyed a special occasion and the photographs show a number of guests really enjoying the occasion. During those 10 years ,55 boys have been awarded bursaries totalling over £ 116,000 and a summary of some of those stories will appear on the website in the next few days

Guests included every Director of the Fund who had served during that time, including former Principals Jim Keith and Alan Logan and the current Principal Mary Montgomery , those who have been regular donors to the Fund, former pupils, and other personal guests . Mary Montgomery gave a most inspiring speech about the most recent successes of the school, a summary of which is also included on this website. Jim Neilly a former teacher spoke about his life as a sports broadcaster following on from his time at the school. From ticket sales, fun games and an Auction the lunch also raised some £8500 for the Fund.

This was a great occasion to celebrate the work of the Fund and also to raise money to continue the awards for future generations of Model boys.
