OD Union

The official page of The Old Diocesan Union, serving the massive, global network of Bishops Old Boys. The OD Union was founded in 1896.

In 1917 Professor Sir Fred Clarke OD encapsulated the essence of being an OD when he commented, “being an OD is not a comfortable status. It is a challenge as no one has the right to be proud of being an OD who is himself not worthy of Bishops.” Bishops is an outstanding school with excellent values and it is expected that her past students reflect these values. ODs know that responsibility runs

Brilliant win for our hockey boys!

Bishops 1st XI faced Paarl Boys in a Friday night lights hockey match, with numerous off-field activities early on.

The hosts donned yellow and blue socks in support of Cancer awareness. Initially, both teams wore their traditional kits—Paarl in blue and white, and Bishops in blue and dark blue—but a colour clash led to the umpires asking Bishops to put bibs on about eight minutes into the game.

Despite early pressure from Bishops, they couldn't capitalize on their chances.

However, a productive quarter-time chat seemed to reset the team’s momentum, as Bishops took a 1-0 lead in the second quarter.

In the third stanza, Bishops intensified their attacks, increasing their lead to 3-0.

As the game progressed, Bishops solidified their dominance, securing a handsome victory.
