📣 CUS Gala 2025 – Important Information for All Guests Attending the CUS Gala

Dear Parents, Past Pupils & Friends of CUS, 

We are delighted to confirm that all tickets for the upcoming SOLD OUT CUS Gala evening on Friday, 14th November in Croke Park stadium have now been distributed.

Tickets were sent via email to the address used at the time of purchase. If you haven’t yet received your tickets, please check your junk or spam folders as they may have been filtered there. Should you still be unable to locate them, please get in touch with us as soon as possible via cusgala@cuspa.ie

A reminder that we require all dietary and seating request forms to be completed by close of business on Tuesday, 4th November. This will help us finalise arrangements with the venue. 

The evening will commence with a drinks reception and live music at 6.30pm, followed by dinner and entertainment. Our Music Department has worked incredibly hard to prepare the pre-dinner performance, and we would greatly appreciate if all guests could arrive on time to enjoy the full experience. Entrance is via Jones Road (Croke Park main entrance for the Hogan stand). 

Please note that the dress code is formal evening wear (tuxedo). However, guests are very welcome to opt for a suit or cocktail attire if they prefer – the key thing is that everyone feels comfortable and enjoys the evening. We’re looking forward to what promises to be a wonderful night celebrating our school community. 

Warm regards, The CUS Gala Committee .

Event Details:

Join us for our inaugural CUS Gala evening on Friday 14th November 2025 in Dublin’s Croke Park Stadium. The exclusive fun filled night is sure to be the social event of the season on our CUS calendar. Guests will walk the red carpet in style in Croke Park Stadium and enjoy a champagne reception overlooking the iconic pitch, followed by a 3 course bespoke menu, select wines and exclusive use of the Hogan stand for music, merriment and forging a CUS community that extends far beyond the walls of the school.

We look forward to welcoming existing parents & relatives of CUS pupils, as well as past pupils, parents of past pupils and all other alumni connected in some way (even tenuously) to our celebration of friendships and camaraderie cultivated in CUS.

Our celebratory social evening, which will be MC’d by RTE’s much loved broadcaster Darragh Maloney, will also kick start our fundraising efforts toward our ambitious large-scale redevelopment of our school premises, which will include a state of the art gymnasium, a new lecture theatre, integration of science facilities and designated social spaces.
If tables of 10 are purchased they will be designated to one lead person (i.e. person who buys the 10 tickets) and guarantees you to be seated with your designated party. Otherwise, if you wish to sit with family/friends, at the ‘Checkout’ just before you pay, please insert the full names for each person and if at all possible their order number. The more detail you can provide the better. We will do our best to accommodate your seating request.

On behalf of the CUS Gala Committee, we look forward to welcoming you on the night!
