Meet The Committee
Co Chair 2024 -
Philipa Quigley
My name is Pippa Quigley, and along with Phoebe De Vere White, I am the recently appointed Co-Chair of the SHBF Committee. We took over the mantle of “Chair” from the indomitable Rosie Crimmins in October ‘24. It speaks volumes of Rosie’s amazing dedication and energy, in her 4 year role as Chairperson, that it took 2 people to replace her! We will do everything in our power to ensure a seamless transition and we endeavour to continue to grow the reach, and the success, of the Society in our time as Co-Chairs.
I left Mount Anville in June 1983, after 15 very happy years - truly, I loved my time there!
Our Mum had been a feisty border in Roscrea (expelled and brought back, not once, but 3 times!!) She was absolutely passionate about the Sacred Heart and her only mandatory criteria when house hunting on arrival in Dublin was that our home would be close to Mount Anville! She duly enrolled her 3 daughters in the Montessori as soon as we turned 3! When I was in Secondary School, Mum was the President of the Sacred Heart Benevolent Society and so, from an early age, I saw the great impact and support that the Society offers Past Pupils, in need. I was delighted to be asked to join the committee after the Remembrance Mass two years ago - finally I am giving back some time to my Alma Mater!
On leaving school, my biggest wish was granted, when I got a place in St Vincent’s Hospital to train as a Nurse - I had talked about “becoming a Nurse when I grow up” from the tender age of 5 – not a word of a lie! I spent 12 months as a Staff Nurse in St Vincent’s after I qualified before moving to Our Lady’s Hospice in Harold’s Cross, to specialise in Palliative Care Nursing and spent a couple of very happy years there before moving to the Pharmaceutical Industry. I am now the Irish Country Manager for a Global Pharmaceutical company, specialising in rare diseases – a role I absolutely love!
I have no daughters, but 3 fantastic sons - so no Mount Anville for the Quigleys! However, they went to St Michael’s - the next best option! My sister Etàin, has taught in the Montessori for “forever” and her role there has kept me connected to Mount Anville throughout the years! It is fair to say that she is truly part of the fabric of the Montessori School and if I was to get a euro for every time a past pupil or a parent tells me about what an amazing teacher she is, and what a huge part she played in their early education and development, I would be a very wealthy lady!! I am very proud of her!
I am delighted to step up as Co-Chair of the SH Benevolent Fund Committee – the support offered to Sacred Heart Past Pupils, both financially and emotionally, is hugely impactful. Any of us, at any time in our lives, could hit a financial speedbump and it is great to know that the generosity of Sacred Heart past pupils, in their support of our various fundraising events, allows us to help those in need, through a crisis period. I firmly believe that Saint Madeline Sophie would endorse our work and find joy in observing how our special Sacred Heart Community takes care of each other.
Please feel free to reach out to any of us, at any time, should you ever be in need of our support.

I was delighted to be asked to join the committee after the Remembrance Mass two years ago - finally I am giving back some time to my Alma Mater!
On leaving school, my biggest wish was granted, when I got a place in St Vincent’s Hospital to train as a Nurse - I had talked about “becoming a Nurse when I grow up” from the tender age of 5 – not a word of a lie! I spent 12 months as a Staff Nurse in St Vincent’s after I qualified before moving to Our Lady’s Hospice in Harold’s Cross, to specialise in Palliative Care Nursing and spent a couple of very happy years there before moving to the Pharmaceutical Industry. I am now the Irish Country Manager for a Global Pharmaceutical company, specialising in rare diseases – a role I absolutely love!
I have no daughters, but 3 fantastic sons - so no Mount Anville for the Quigleys! However, they went to St Michael’s - the next best option! My sister Etàin, has taught in the Montessori for “forever” and her role there has kept me connected to Mount Anville throughout the years! It is fair to say that she is truly part of the fabric of the Montessori School and if I was to get a euro for every time a past pupil or a parent tells me about what an amazing teacher she is, and what a huge part she played in their early education and development, I would be a very wealthy lady!! I am very proud of her!
I am delighted to step up as Co-Chair of the SH Benevolent Fund Committee – the support offered to Sacred Heart Past Pupils, both financially and emotionally, is hugely impactful. Any of us, at any time in our lives, could hit a financial speedbump and it is great to know that the generosity of Sacred Heart past pupils, in their support of our various fundraising events, allows us to help those in need, through a crisis period. I firmly believe that Saint Madeline Sophie would endorse our work and find joy in observing how our special Sacred Heart Community takes care of each other.
Please feel free to reach out to any of us, at any time, should you ever be in need of our support.

My name is Pippa Quigley, and along with Phoebe De Vere White, I am the recently appointed Co-Chair of the SHBF Committee. We took over the mantle of “Chair” from the indomitable Rosie Crimmins in October ‘24. It speaks volumes of Rosie’s amazing dedication and energy, in her 4 year role as Chairperson, that it took 2 people to replace her! We will do everything in our power to ensure a seamless transition and we endeavour to continue to grow the reach, and the success, of the Society in our time as Co-Chairs.
I left Mount Anville in June 1983, after 15 very happy years - truly, I loved my time there!
Our Mum had been a feisty border in Roscrea (expelled and brought back, not once, but 3 times!!) She was absolutely passionate about the Sacred Heart and her only mandatory criteria when house hunting on arrival in Dublin was that our home would be close to Mount Anville! She duly enrolled her 3 daughters in the Montessori as soon as we turned 3! When I was in Secondary School, Mum was the President of the Sacred Heart Benevolent Society and so, from an early age, I saw the great impact and support that the Society offers Past Pupils, in need.
