" It is going to be really weird to not come back next year. We really are saying goodbye to a big part of our life", one of the Form Six students said after the graduation ceremony. 

In his address, the Principal of the School. Fr. Alejandro Salcedo congratulated the students and told them that the graduation was the culmination of a long and challenging but ultimately rewarding journey. He reminded them that they had been educated and empowered to be leaders, not followers. You are among the best students in the world.  God has put in each one of you the talents and potential to be outstanding in your further studies and future careers, to serve Him and the people around you. Make sure that you feel proud of what you do and the same for the people around you. Similarly, he reminded the graduates, who will continue their education in the School, that it is only in the dictionary were success comes before work. The School will continue providing you with a unique globalized learning environment where talent and creativity will be nurtured for you to become empowered with the skills and attributes you need to be the next generation of global leaders, but you will have to continue to try your very best in learning with perseverance and commitment.

The audience was amazed and entertained with performances from students and past students. Their high-quality performances reflect the foundation of excellence and seriousness that Saint Paul School has in everything they do.
