The Old Ballyclarians' Association has, for over 60 years, encouraged former pupils to maintain their links with the school and it continues to support the work of staff and pupils, particularly through the funding of prizes and in maintaining an interest in the school’s programme of games and sports.
Former pupils continue to achieve distinction in many fields. They serve as eminent surgeons, lecturers and professors in medicine, as solicitors and barristers, as leaders in industry and commerce, in all sectors of education including the universities and in agriculture and the sciences. Many also serve the community in social services, the church and the defence forces. Pupils have distinguished themselves at universities and colleges throughout Britain and in recent years have won prestigious scholarships and prizes at a range of universities including Oxford and Cambridge.
The Association now has splendid premises at Cloughan Lane which are used by the thriving Rugby and Hockey Clubs. It promotes a number of events during the year. Details can always be obtained via the school or on the OBA website.
