The story of the Old Virgillians Association is inseparable from the proud history of St Virgil’s College. Founded by the Christian Brothers, the College has long stood for academic excellence, faith-based values, and service to others.
Over the decades, the OVA has been a living link between the College’s past and its future — celebrating milestones, preserving traditions, and supporting the next generation of students.
Today, our community of Old Virgillians continues to uphold those ideals, ensuring that the legacy of St Virgil’s remains strong, relevant, and inspiring.
Celebrating Outstanding Achievement
Each year, the Old Virgilians Association recognises former students whose achievements and service reflect the highest ideals of St Virgil’s College. These distinguished men are inducted into the Heritage Roll of Honour, a testament to their character, leadership, and contribution to society and to the College community.
We invite Old Virgilians to share their updates, successes, and recollections so that the whole community may rejoice and stay connected.
