The St Paul’s crest represents the centrality of the cross to the Christian faith and thus mission of our school; profiled by the rising sun symbolising our hope and future in Christ. The crest is made up of the central logo with the name and motto of the school around the diameter.
The logo should not be redrawn, digitally manipulated or altered. No rescaling of the horizontal or vertical proportions should occur.
The St Paul’s logotype consists of two elements: the logo and the St Paul’s Grammar School wordmark. Both elements have been visually combined to create a modern identity for St Paul’s that profiles the name of the school in brand opportunities.

We are very proud of the achievements of our Year 12, 2019 students and are excited to hear of their many plans for the future.
As the only school in the greater west of Sydney to offer both the Higher School Certificate (HSC) and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, senior secondary students at St Paul’s choose the credential that best suits their skills and interests. Combining our 2019 results, 48% of students achieved an ATAR above 80 and 19% achieved an ATAR above 90, with strong results recorded across a broad range of subjects. especially congratulate the 2019 Dux of St Paul’s, Kirsty Lavender, who achieved an ATAR of 98.7.
Regardless of whether our students choose the HSC or the IB Diploma Programme in their senior years at St Paul’s, they are gifted with an education that equips them with skills required for the twenty first century – our dedication to this aim is absolute and can be clearly demonstrated by our teaching and learning initiatives.
This publication is designed to highlight the accomplishments of our students as they move beyond their St Paul’s experience. It is always inspiring listening to our graduating students’ hopes and aspirations for the future and we pray for God’s blessing on them as they commence a new stage of life.
Whatever field of endeavor they now choose to undertake, am proud of the role that the teachers, staff and the wider school community of St Paul’s have played in the development of each students’ interests and character. A St Paul’s education equips students to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world and have no doubt that each student now forges ahead into their future with - not only the will and skills to succeed - but the capacity to make a positive and lasting impact wherever their journey takes them.
At St Paul’s, we lay the foundation for our students’ ongoing achievement, year after year, with our commitment to nurturing and educating the whole child. St Paul’s offers extensive co-curricular activities that help students grow academically, physically, emotionally and spiritually within a safe and supportive environment. At St Paul’s, students are empowered to be involved in the full life of the school at every stage of their journey from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12.
