Behold St. Oliver's - The Music Cup! 🏆
As we celebrate the outstanding musicians who once graced our halls, the corridors are now once again filled with the tunes of our current talented pupils.
Share your music memories!

This Gregorian Cross hung for many years over Abbot R S Trafford's fireplace at Mount St Benedict, Gorey.
Jim Ferris, the Abbot's manservant, returned it to Downside after the Abbot's death in November 1976.

Has anyone ever spotted this beautiful
painting? 🎨
Do you know where in the School it is placed?

We can all agree that sports have always
been a big part of our School.
We'd love to hear your memories from your time at
Downside!
What teams did you play in?

This statue can be found outside the
Fleischner Theatre, can anyone remember when it was
placed here?

We're going back in time a couple of
decades now...

We are very lucky at Downside to have
several organs around the School, can you identify
which one this is?

Were any of you part of the old boxing
teams? 🥊

During an OG visit and tour of the School,
there are many aspects that bring back memories and
traditions.
Who can tell us where this statue is within the School?

Found this in an old Raven issue,
Good to see that it's not just us! 🙈
