St Paul's 20 Hour Club
Well done to these Junior St Paul's students who have shown the Marcellin Pillar of 'Love of Work' by completing their 20 hours of service, thus earning themselves a place in the St Paul's 20 hour club.
With Junior Students like these occupying the base of the college, the future of St Paul's looks bright.
