On behalf of the St. Paul's High School Community, we wish a Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers in our school community. The following prayer is offered in honour of all mothers.
A Prayer in Gratitude for Our Mothers
Good and Gentle God, we pray in gratitude for our mothers and for all the women who have joined with you in the wonder of bringing forth new life. You who became human through a woman, grant to all mothers the courage they need to face the uncertain future that life with children always brings.
Give them the strength to live and to be loved in return, not perfectly, but humanly. Give them the faithful support of husband, family and friends as they care for the physical and spiritual growth of their children. Give them joy and delight in their children to sustain them through the trials of motherhood. Most of all, give them the wisdom to turn to you for help when they need it most. Amen.

The badminton team had a great season with many significant accomplishments! Last weekend we had five student-athletes competing at the Provincial Badminton Championships. In Junior Varsity Boys Doubles, Cole Wilson and Jinwoo Park narrowly missed out on advancing to the playoff round. In Varsity Doubles, grade 9 Billy Tanglin teamed up with Julian Brennan and advanced all the way to the finals where they won the silver medal after losing a heartbreaker in the third set 22–20.
In Varsity Singles, Anson Chen, also in grade 9, picked up where his brother left off and went undefeated through the whole tournament becoming Varsity Singles Champion - an impressive feat for his first year of high school. As a team, St. Paul's finished with the 2nd most points out of all the schools despite only having boys categories.
Congratulations to all members of the Crusader Badminton Team on a great season from practices, to exhibition tournaments, to zone tournaments to provincial championships. Well done!
The school would aslo like to acknowledge the excellent work of the badminton coaches Chris Regehr, Dustin Spiring, and Raj Sharma.

Premier's Health Living Scholarship for Youth
The Premier’s Healthy Living Scholarship for Youth recognizes the achievements of young Manitobans who are positive role models for other children and youth in promoting healthy lifestyles. Up to 10 of the most outstanding applicants from across Manitoba will be selected to receive a $1,000 scholarship. Deadline date for applications is August 1.
Alumni Association Entrance Scholarship
The Alumni Association of the University of Manitoba has established a trust fund to offer scholarships to students entering the university. The purpose of the fund is to reward the students who have submitted the best essays on the topic of becoming a future alum of the University. Scholarships open on May 15th. Deadline to apply for these self-nominated awards is August 1.
Bursaries: Bursary awards are primarily based upon financial need, as opposed to scholarships, which are primarily based on academic merit. To qualify for bursaries at the University of Manitoba, you must apply for the University of Manitoba General Bursary through Aurora in addition to any individual applications that may be required for specific awards.
Asper Foundation Entrance Bursaries
The Asper Foundation offers renewable bursaries at $1,000 each for high school students who are enrolled full-time in their first year of study in University 1 or any faculty, college or school at UM.
Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd.
Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. offers three bursaries valued at $6,000 to Canadian high school students or recent high school graduates who demonstrate financial need, will register for full-time study at the University of Manitoba and who achieve a minimum average of 80% on the high school courses used for admission.
InformNet Courses for Current Grade 12 students
Please note that grades for courses taken via InformNet will appear on a student's final high school transcript, however, they do not appear on the interim grade request because they are not St. Paul's courses. This means that when St. Paul's submitted grades to U of M and U of W Admissions in April, students' InformNet courses were not included. Given that Admissions uses interim grades to assess students' eligibility for admission, students will need to request InformNet to submit their interim grades to the UM/UW Undergraduate Admissions offices ASAP if they would like them considered.
Please consider donating your son’s outgrown St. Paul’s polo shirts, casual pants & other school dress code items. They will be organized for our incoming grade 9 students and parents later in the month.
All clothing donations will be accepted at reception, in the front foyer of the school. Remember to please mark your package “Donation, Nearly New Sale.”
Thank you so much for supporting our new students and our Christmas Hamper Fund

Dear Parents/Guardians,
We hope the Graduands and their Mothers enjoyed the heartwarming Mother-Son Ceremony hosted by our school last Friday. We are deeply grateful for the wonderful experience it provided and for everyone involved in its preparation, especially the Parents For Others.
To continue creating cherished memories, we'd like to remind you about the registration for the June 27th Ernie Ostermann ‘57 Graduand Golf Tournament, which is now open.
As mentioned in the Grad package, we aim to provide prizes for our graduates at Safe Grad. These prizes will be in the form of $25 – $50 gift cards for restaurants, popular retailers, movie theaters, credit cards (e.g., VISA cash card), etc. While gift card donations do not qualify for a tax receipt, they will be highly appreciated. Cash donations toward the prizes may qualify for a tax receipt. Please contact Gillian Hauser, Grad Entertainment Chair, at gilligig@gmail.com anytime between today and Friday, May 31, 2024, to arrange drop-off for prize donations. If you have any other prize ideas that align with the graduates’ interests, please feel free to share them with the Grad Committee.
Finally, please sign up for volunteering. We still need support with entertainment for Safe Grad: https://signup.com/go/ZiaxXWh

The All Sport Camp’s goal is to give young athletes an opportunity to work on their skills but also compete against other athletes to help them begin to utilize those skills in competition in volleyball, beach volleyball, and basketball.
The Crusader All-Sport Camp offers both introductory camps for incoming and future students of the school, but also more advanced camps for both incoming and returning students. The All-Sport Camp welcomes St. Paul's students that will be in grade 10 or 11 next school year. The goal of our camps is to help young players improve their skills, but also expand their overall understanding of their chosen sport. The camp is organized and run by Mr. Lloyd Voth, and Mr. Jeff Laping.
