St Paul’s Grammar School formal at Lilyfield’s Le Montage: Picture special

After a rough couple of years the Year 12 cohort at Cranebrook’s St Paul’s Grammar came together to celebrate. We were there to capture it all. See the pictures.

Formals are one of the most anticipated highlights that come with the last year of schooling.

For the year 12s graduating in 2021, it has been even more special with them having lived and studied through Covid.

Cranebrook’s St Paul’s Grammar School came together to celebrate in the Grand Ballroom at Le Montage in Lilyfield on December 2.

Principal, Ian Wake, said he was proud to have witnessed the way the graduating group navigated the uncertainty of 2021.

“Despite the many challenges they’ve faced over the last two years, the Year 12 class of 2021 have completed their studies at St Paul’s with an unwavering dedication that has inspired our whole school community.

“They have worked through very isolating circumstances and it was a great pleasure to be able to celebrate with them and their parents in person to formally mark the end of their journey at St Paul’s.”
