PARADE COLLEGE
OPA COMMITTEE
The Old Paradians' Association was first established in 1914 with its own rules and constitution and in November 2011 registered with Consumer Affairs Victoria as a not-for-profit Incorporated Association.

The Old Paradians’ Association’s Executive Committee comprises the President, Vice-President, Treasurer & Secretary and is supported by six Committee Members.

Sub Committees, chaired by a Committee Member, oversee keystone activities which currently include the Awards Committee and Foundation Committee.

The Committee consists of four Parade College staff members and nine Parade College alumni.

Any student who was enrolled at Parade College or is an Honorary Old Paradian is eligible for membership in the Association.

Positioned within the College’s Development Office, the Alumni Officer and Alumni Administration Assistant are employed by the College to implement the work of the Association.

The purpose of the OPA is to support the goals of Parade College by collaborating on initiatives that strengthen ties between alumni, Parade College, and the wider Parade community.

The OPA welcomes Committee participation by members of the Parade College community. Please contact us if you would like to become involved.
