The St Paul’s Collegiate School community came together this month to celebrate the rich diversity our international students bring to school life. The council of students planned an excellent week and decorated the school with flags.
On Friday, students were treated to a special assembly featuring performances from Anyu Sunahara, Chelsy Chai, Tiffany Bao on the Chinese flute, and Kelly Leung on the piano. The assembly also included a student-made video, with international students sharing traditional celebrations from their home countries (video here).
Following the assembly, families hosted a morning tea that was nothing short of spectacular. Tables were laden with dumplings, buns, Japanese cheesecake, popcorn chicken, egg tarts, and many other treats, generously prepared and donated by parents. The money raised from the morning tea was $1,295.80, donated to the Hamilton Combined Christian Foodbank.
Our sincere thanks go to the following parents for their contributions:
Helen Huang; Kathy (parent of Ethan Hu); Xin (parent of Cullen); Gee (parent of Raymond Li); Irene (parent of Tony Qiu); Gina (parent of Miya Hsieh); Candy (parent of Jason Wang); Penny (parent of Olivia); Jasmine (parent of Martina); Yu Hong (parent of Nicola Chow, 2026 student); Lesley (parent of Eric); Erin Qi (parent of Fiona and Austin Guo); Xuehong Lu (parent of Brianna); Amanda (parent of Olivia); Aileen He (parent of Fiona Li); Suyee Young (parent of James Su); Yi Li and Xi Zhu (parents of Roy), Joy Kaewkomane and Sirina Madden, (guardians to our international students).
We are grateful for the time, generosity, and spirit of community shown by everyone involved. Events like this are an integral part of life at St Paul’s.
