    Class Ambassadors

    As part of the FPA, we have a Class Ambassador Scheme – to help build connections among the Austin Friars Alumni community.

    Could you helping us reconnect with more former pupils?

    We would like to have a Class Ambassador representing every year from 1951 - when the school was founded. It doesn’t require much work – you would be a point of contact between the FPA and your former classmates. As a thank you, we offer our Class Ambassadors a discount on reunion and event tickets. Is this something you could consider?

    • Invite people you are in contact with to join the FPA
    • Encourage friends to attend reunions and Alumni events
    • Let us know about news or updates from your classmates which we can share in Caritas

    So far we have eight Class Ambassadors, who have already helped us find former pupils we have lost touch with. Our current Class Ambassadors are: -

    • Class of 1963 – Jim Bulman 
    • Class of 1968 – Peter Liu
    • Class of 1982 – Steve Graham
    • Class of 1983 – Peter Middlemiss
