On Thursday 5 February, the St Paul’s community gathered for our Inaugural Mass, a powerful start to the academic year defined by faith and transition. After a week of singing practice with Mr Josiah Tupai, the students filled the air with spirit and pride.

This year’s Mass was a bittersweet occasion as we farewelled Father Glenford Lowe after three years of dedicated service as our Chaplain. We thank him for his guidance on retreats, during Masses, and in sacramental classes, and we wish him well on his next journey. Simultaneously, we were thrilled to welcome Father Mark Bond, who has already made a fantastic impression with his engaging first homily.

We also formally introduced our 2026 Prefects and our Special Character Committee, all of whom served during the liturgy alongside students from Years 7–13. Thank you to the parents, Board members, and friends who joined us for this special evening.
