Who is ROCA?
Following the AGM late last year and a reinvigorated ROCA Committee, a ROCA Position Statement capturing our goals has been created based on the pillars of Business, Sport and Life. ROCA is the College conduit to be “Connected for Life”. We also fund scholarships for sons and grandsons of Old Scholars. You, too, can reap the benefits of this connection.
