This is an amazing community of intellectually curious and diversely talented people which forms and shapes those who are part of it. There are thousands of graduates of St Paul’s for whom coming here was the best and most formative experience of their lives. Having spent most of my adult life associated with collegiate communities both in Australia and Cambridge, including as an undergraduate at St Paul’s, I can personally attest to how enriching a place this College is.
Throughout this website I hope you will get a sense of what we are about and the kind of activities that make becoming a member of St Paul’s such a special experience. It is an environment that will accelerate your academic, social, creative and spiritual endeavours. Furthermore, you will have opportunities to serve and develop as a leader in ways that non-St Paul’s students miss out on. It is a community where students from different faculties, faiths, backgrounds and worldviews share and shape one another in their thinking. All of this takes place in a convivial and enjoyable environment. As you contribute, you benefit.
So, St Paul’s is far more than a place to stay while you are studying at University. It is a vibrant and life-enhancing community where deep and profound friendships are formed as students learn together and from one another. While a website can highlight and describe aspects of St Paul’s community life, there is no substitute for coming and meeting people and seeing the campus. I hope you will be inspired to take that next step and I look forward to welcoming you for a visit.
The Reverend Dr Ed Loane
Warden
