News & Events

Dear Friends and families of St Paul’s,

What a year we have had together in 2022! It will be long remembered as one of the most, if not the most, significant year in the College’s wonderful history. From December of 2021 until January of 2022 the College grew by over 200 students and 30 staff. We had completed (or almost) $11 million worth of renovations and buildings, continued to deal with the uncertainties of COVID and launched into co-education.

As we finish the year now in December 2022 we can proudly look back and say the year has been an amazing success. While we may have had a few speed humps along the way, some growing pains, and unexpected challenges we have had an awesome year.

This week’s Primary years and Middle years celebrations were wonderful and very much appreciated by our families. Our final day, the big activities day has been very successful and so much fun. 

We bid farewell to several staff and say hello to a significant number more. We offer a huge thanks to all staff who are leaving and wish them well in their new endeavours. Their contributions have helped build our community and we are a better place for having them a part of the College.

Advent and Christmas are such positive and hope-filled times. As a Christian community we celebrate the birth of Christ, the great symbol of HOPE in our lives. For some in our community and around the world, however, this season will bring challenges. We offer all our heart-felt thoughts and prayers for those to whom this applies, especially those closest to us.

Finally, can I offer, on behalf of the staff of St Paul’s, our most gracious thanks to our families and friends for all you have done for us this year to make it so successful. We often speak of the three-way partnership we have between staff, students and families and it is because of the strength of this that we are such a great community.

May you all have a very blessed, happy, holy, and restful Christmas and new year period. We look forward to 2023 even more as we continue to grow in all ways, especially in our community’s values of Faith, Relationships, Excellence and Diversity.

God Bless
Paul Belton
