The OBU has supported the War Memorial, which is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by many Shore Boys and Staff.
Common Room Support
All past students are 'Old Boys'. Any student who has been a pupil of the Senior School or Prep School for 3 years, or completed year 12 or both are therefore eligible for Life Membership. Membership and Life Membership applications are subject to the fees being paid and/or being admitted to the OBU via application. When you become a Life Member of the OBU, you will receive a OBU tie and you will be eligible for your son(s) having enrolment preference. Note however, that the demand for places at Shore is strong and this preference for OBU Life Members still requires Enrolment Applications to be lodged with the Registrar in the first year of a child’s life at the earliest possible time but must be in the first year of the child’s life.
