On the 19th of January 2023, past pupil Lisa Boland, nee Fitzgerald, and her husband Matt's world turned dark as they suddenly lost their beautiful daughter, Lauren (2).

Lauren choked on a pea while at crèche.
She never came home.

Through their pain, they want to create something for Lauren.

Please help them spread awareness to protect other children, and keep Lauren’s light shining. ☀️

Lisa and Matt want to raise awareness about the importance of CPR and first aid, because knowing what to do in an emergency could mean the difference between life and loss.

Please share and help them Learn for Lauren.

Can you help?

Clinch Wealth Management (Clinch) is proud to once again partner with MAPPA as the principal sponsor of this year's Mount Anville Business Lunch. Building on the resounding success of last year's inaugural event, we recognise the vital role that MAPPA plays in empowering young women through the Rose Bursary Programme, which provides essential financial support to those who might otherwise be unable to attend the school.

This sponsorship resonates strongly with our company values and commitments to social inclusion, education, and female empowerment. By contributing to the bursary, we are not only investing in the future of young women, but also helping to foster a legacy of excellence and opportunity. We look forward to celebrating the spirit of camaraderie and shared purpose at this year’s lunch.

The theme for this year's lunch is 'Sisterhood'.

The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up.

Our panel of speakers are sisters and past pupils Joanne Byrne, Director Presence PR; Elaine Byrne, Artist and Business Consultant and Ciara Byrne, Vice President New Business Innovation Condé Nast.

Louise O'Riordan, class of 1992, co-founder of SISTERLY will be attending the lunch on Friday 7th February.

Louise and her co-founders gathered a formidable team of leading scientists, doctors, nutritionists and female health experts, all guided by science and combined decades of experience to create a supplement that works for a female’s physiology - The Elevator.

The award winning supplement will be sampled at the lunch and SISTERLY have generously given us a voucher for the Elevator Ritual at The Merrion Spa worth €290 which one lucky guest will win.

“The Elevator” Spa Treatment was meticulously designed to celebrate women’s strength, vitality, and resilience. Created in response to extensive guest feedback and insights, the international team of therapists at The Spa curated this innovative experience to provide a rejuvenating experience like no other.

Using the renowned Biologique Recherche products, the experience starts with a detoxifying foot bath, essential oil breath work, and relaxing meditation for deep relaxation. Using Biologique Recherche products, The Elevator Spa Treatment includes a deep skin cleanse, Lotion P50 application, and an invigorating face mask.

Compelling reasons why networking is crucial for business growth and success.

No. 2 Opportunities for Collaboration

Networking opens the door to numerous collaboration opportunities that might not be possible otherwise. Whether it’s partnering with another business on a project, co-hosting an event, or even launching a joint venture, the possibilities are endless. Collaboration can provide access to new markets, resources, and expertise that can significantly enhance your business operations.

'You cannot be what you cannot see—which is why connecting with like-minded women is so important. We are fortunate to have a strong network of women within MAPPA, representing diverse backgrounds—from law and tech to entrepreneurship and beyond. Together, we truly have it all.

As a woman early in my career, networking has been instrumental in shaping my success so far. It has provided invaluable guidance on navigating challenges and building confidence in my professional journey. Attending MAPPA networking events has not only inspired me but also reassured me that, with determination and hard work, we as women can achieve it all.'
Nicole Scully, MAPPA Committee Secretary (class of 2012), Manager at Accenture Strategy.
