Dear Fellow Paulines and friends,

 

It is a true privilege to serve as Chairman of St. Paul’s College Alumni Association. As we look ahead to the 175th anniversary of our beloved College in 2026, I find myself reflecting not only on the proud history of the oldest school founded in Hong Kong, but also on the enduring spirit that continues to shape us as Paulines.

 

This milestone is far more than a number. It stands as a living testament to the values, friendships, and shared experiences that have connected generations of students for nearly two centuries. From Hong Kong to mainland China, and to SPC brothers who have made their mark across the globe in every field of service, leadership, and creativity, our legacy is both deep and far‑reaching. For me, and for many of us, St. Paul’s was not just a place of learning but a second home. The memories we carry—whether from classrooms, clubs, choirs, or corridors—form the foundation of a lifelong bond with our alma mater.

 

Working closely with the wider SPC community and our partners, SPCAA continues to nurture unity, connection, and legacy. Through mentorship programmes, historical research, anniversary celebrations, homecoming day, and casual gatherings, we bring together alumni from all walks of life. These encounters, whether with old classmates or new friends, remind us that the Pauline spirit is timeless.

 

What I treasure most about SPCAA is the joy of meeting alumni across generations. Each conversation opens a window into a different era of the College, yet the values remain strikingly familiar. It is this continuity that makes our legacy so powerful and so worth passing on.

 

I warmly invite all alumni to take part in this journey. Your stories, your support, your presence, and, where possible, your donations all matter. Together, let us honour 175 years of brotherhood, embrace the opportunities of today, and build a future worthy of the generations yet to come.

 

With gratitude and warm regards,

Andy Law

Chairman

St. Paul’s College Alumni Association
