Centenary Celebrations

As part of the fact that the school's foundation stone was laid in 1907, and it was founded in 1908, St Paul's plan to hold a number of various events and activities in and outside of school hours, including playing tug-of-war and lacrosse in PE lessons, and role-play focusing on how World War II affected St Paul's. There is also a new building currently being built in place of the prefab (porter cabin) style classrooms that existed in the school grounds as temporary classrooms since 1973.
