About
Who We Are
The Belvedere Union enables past pupils of Belvedere College SJ to maintain friendships made at school. We also help our members who are in need and provide opportunities for Old Belvederians to connect with each other.
We do this by organising social, business and sporting events and also by supporting charities and other social justice activities in parallel with Belvedere College SJ.
The Union is run by a voluntary committee who organise a range of different activities throughout the year which include the Union Dinner, the Belvedere Business Network Lunch, the Annual Past versus Present Debate and the Annual Mass for deceased past pupils as well as a host of other events.
The Junior union is run by Old Belvederians who have left Belvedere College SJ in the last 10 years. It sets its own own agenda and runs events which continue the strong social justice ethos as fostered during members time in school. Some of these activities are the Soup Run and the Annual Sleep Out, both of which support the homeless. They also run activities to support the mental health of students in addition to mentoring students in Belvedere College SJ.
The Union has a strong historic connection to Old Belvedere Rugby Club, The Belvedere Support Network and the Belvedere Youth Club. We are also connected with past pupils unions from other Jesuit schools in Ireland through Jesuit Alumni Ireland.
