Mr. Dennis Yuen, Principal of St. Paul’s College, opened the ceremony with an address that stressed the dire necessity of enhancing the existing campus on Bonham Road.
“The space is no longer enough to meet the needs of modern learning, and therefore I believe that there is a pressing need to expand and enhance the campus. We will be able to provide students with more room for development,” explained Mr. Yuen.
“Under the slogan ‘Let’s build our common future’, we hope to engage all people to create a better future for our students and cultivate greater talent within our society.”

As an alumnus of St. Paul's College, I am proud and honored to have the opportunity to serve the College and participate in such a historical undertaking.”
As with all St. Paul's events, the spirit of brotherhood and common purpose prevailed with a strong turnout of both alumni and students at the ceremony.
The College would especially like to thank all of the old boy stalwarts who have given so much of their heart, soul and spirit to the school as we embark on this ambitious project.
