Fundação St. Paul’s recently hosted another evening of fun and solidarity with the latest edition of Quiz Night—an event that has long been a tradition at the school and, more recently, has become a staple in the St. Paul’s Foundation calendar.
Now in its third edition, Quiz Night brought together over 120 people in a relaxed and festive atmosphere and celebrated a new record: nearly R$100,000 raised in support of the Foundation’s Scholarship Programme.
As in previous years, the event was attended by many Old Pauleans, alumni who continue to play an active role in the community. This year, the Quiz featured a special appearance by the charismatic quiz master and Old Paulean Anthony Wells, as well as current parents, who added even more energy and enthusiasm to the evening.
Speaking about the event, Anthony shared: “Other than being much fun, it was also such an important event to raise funds for an incredible cause. It was fantastic to see that everyone was super competitive and willing to contribute to the St. Paul’s Foundation, with a smile on their faces and an energetic spirit!”
Marina, Old Paulean, member of the Foundation’s board and three-time Quiz Night champion, adds: “It is a privilege to contribute to a cause that broadens access to a St. Paul’s education. The commitment to providing life-changing opportunities for talented pupils, regardless of their financial background, has always been one of the core values of he school and I am incredibly proud to help carry forward this enduring legacy”.
We would like to extend a special thank you to the Parents and Teachers Association (PTA), whose continued support is vital to the Foundation’s work. We are also grateful to the Lower and Upper School pupils who volunteered their time: selling exclusive merchandise from our special store, collecting answers, and even offering “expert help” to participants.
We also highlight the contribution of Sodexo, one of the Foundation’s key partners in the Scholarship Programme, for helping make this event possible.
More than a knowledge competition, Quiz Night was once again a powerful demonstration of engagement and generosity within our school community. A celebration of unity and purpose that reinforces the St. Paul’s Foundation’s collective commitment to truly transformative education.
