No matter where life has taken us since, we all share a powerful yet simple common bond: we attended Blackrock College. This shared experience connects us deeply, regardless of whether our time at the school was filled with joy or challenges. It’s this unique bond—of walking the same corridors, wearing the same colours, and sharing some of the same traditions—that unites us as a community of past pupils. We understand that life’s journey is different for everyone, but we are committed to standing together as one Rock family, offering our support to one another whenever it’s needed.
The Blue and White Support Group was founded with a simple yet profound mission: to reach out to all Blackrock College alumni with a message of solidarity and support. We are here for you, no matter what your experiences or opinions about your time at school may have been. Your fellow classmates are ready to stand by you, extending a hand of friendship and assistance. The bond we share as Rock men is strong and enduring, and it is this bond that inspires us to help each other through life’s ups and downs.
Our support extends to all alumni and their families, offering a range of services tailored to meet diverse needs. Whether you are looking for moral support, practical guidance or some financial planning assistance, The Blue and White Support Group is here to help. Sometimes, all it takes is a compassionate, non-judgmental conversation with someone who understands to see things more clearly. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to face it alone—your Rock family is here to walk beside you.
As it has done throughout its c. 25 years in operation, the Blue and White Support Group operates confidentially and discreetly through a small number of volunteers, all of whom are past students. This Group can also access confidentially a number of experts who may be in a position to offer more specialist support or guidance where required.
If you or a fellow alumnus could use a helping hand, please reach out to us. Contact our office confidentially at unionoffice@rock.ie, and we will ensure that a member of our support group contacts you. Remember, we are united by more than just memories of school—we are united by a lifelong commitment to support and care for one another. Together, as one Rock community, we stand ready to help.
The Blue and White Support Group is chaired by Paul White (1983), who can be contacted at the Union office.
