St. Paul’s School has officially wrapped up its school year and, for Senior School pupils, that end was marked with a Prize Giving ceremony that awards pupils in different categories, including specific subjects, Academic Excellence, House Spirit, Community Service, etc.
The St. Paul’s Foundation was very well represented at the ceremony: 12 out of our 18 scholars received at least one Prize Giving award. Their recognitions were as follows:

The M.T.M Casey McCann Memorial Award is the most special award of the ceremony, as it is given to pupils for their outstanding contribution to school life. The recipients’ names are not announced prior to the Prize Giving ceremony.
All of these awards are acknowledgements of our scholars’ dedication throughout the year. They also show how pupils responded well to this challenging new environment and should be extremely proud of their achievements.
Aside from receiving prizes, our scholars also participated in the ceremony by performing. We had Elisa and Maria in the Senior School Choir, Julia and Claudia in the drama performance “Wear Sunscreen” and another two of our scholars, Giordano and Fernando, graced us with an acoustic rendition of “Blackbird”, from The Beatles.
