As we wrap up this academic year, we proudly acknowledge the growth and achievements of all our 28 scholars, including Antonio, Elisa and Gregorio, who have just graduated from Upper 6 and finished their life chapter at St. Paul’s. Looking ahead to the next academic year, we are excited to welcome 15 new scholars, bringing our total to 40 foundation pupils from Form 1 to Upper 6. Additionally, our Prep Course will begin next term with 28 candidates aspiring for a scholarship at St. Paul’s School in August 2025.
Among the highlights of this year were two major fundraising events for our scholarship programme: International Day and the Old Pauleans’ Quiz Night. These events were not only successful in raising funds but also in strengthening our ties with the school community.We are immensely thankful for the contributions of our school community, who generously donate their time and resources to support the Foundation’s work. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our parents, PTA representatives, donors, volunteer teachers for the Preparation Course, and the School Leadership. Their dedication and hard work have been instrumental in creating a welcoming and supportive environment for our scholars and candidates.
Without the collective effort of our community, this year’s successes would not have been possible. Thank you to everyone who has played a part in making this year memorable and impactful!
