“The Former Pupils’
Association"
wants to attract all former pupils, regardless of their gender, or whether
they attended RSD or DHSG before amalgamation in 1986, or RSD since then.
To this end, the Committee of the Old Boys’ Section has amended its name and constitution so that all former pupils of both RSD and DHSG
can now become members.

President 2012-2013 ~ Philip Annesley
Philip was a pupil at RSD from 1960-1967. He attended Queen's University
from 1967 -1972 and notably achieved B.Sc.(hons) Chemistry and B.Agr.(hons)
Agricultural chemistry .
Philip taught in Dungannon
High School for Girls from 1972-1986 as Teacher in charge of Biology. Post
amalgamation in 1986, he taught in RSD until retirement in 2009.
In RSD Philip was Head of Chemistry Dept. from 2003-2006 and a Senior
Teacher from 2006 until retirement in 2009. Having taught in both DHS and
RSD, his wide experience of the two schools makes him an ideal inaugural
President of the newly formed Royal School Dungannon F.P.A.
The Old Boys’ Committee
deeply regrets the death of Ellis Gaw. Ellis who was one of our
oldest members attended Royal School Dungannon from 1937 to 1941. He was
President of our Association in 1968 and was the first member to be
awarded Honorary Life Membership in recognition of his services to the Old
Boys Association.Ellis had been in failing health for some time.
Sincere
condolences and deepest sympathy of the Former Pupils Association have
been passed to his daughter Caroline and her family by Hon.Sec David
Browne.
