Alumni Events
St Paul's High School hosts annually a number of alumni events, reunions and sport tournaments. These events owe their success to the active and generous alumni and others who volunteer and participate. The Alumni Association Executive is an active part of the planning and organizing of many of these events.
For more detailed information on an event by event basis, including event dates, registration information and additional photo galleries of past events, alumni can register to become a part of the St Paul's Online Community.
The following is a list of the major events for alumni in the order that they occur in the school year.

Learn more information about this year's Honouree and DinnerAlumni Drama (Spring)
Imagine what it would be like to bring together an all-star cast of alumni back to the stage in Murray Hall. Could long-since retired St Paul's players once again conjure up a little dramatic magic? Who would direct? What about a set? Would anybody come even if they could pull it off?
In May 2009, the Alumni members of the St Paul's Drama Society produced a series of dramatic and comedic scenes with their play Departures and Arrivals. For alumni looking for a great way to get involved in the school, to rub elbows and share the stage with alumni and faculty from years past, you will not want to miss out when the next alumni production is announced.
In past years, the School has also hosted Alumni Hockey and Alumni Soccer games. The best way to find out about such events and when they occur is to sign up as a member of the St Paul's Online Community.
