Graduate House celebrated its inaugural Festival of Arts with 10 days of music, drama, painting, and creativity. It began with a magnificent night of Victoriana! when Yash Bhoola, Elise Morton and David Drury with alumnus Pat Massarini led the humming along to Victoriana! classics.  The festivities continued with the Impresario’s Player’s performance of The Accidental Death of an Anarchist by Dario Fo, directed by Jeremy Walker and starring Sanjay Yapabandara, Daniel Qi, Alisha Sethi, Keiran Cook, Meheer Zaveri and Anjan Kornepati. The play, a potent mix of political commentary and absurdist hilarity, had us all in stitches and was the debut of a number of first-time actors! The first weekend of Arts celebrations was then rounded off by Music at Sunset. Organised, hosted (and, in most cases, accompanied!) by Elise Morton, students and staff relaxed on the Roof Terrace of the McMillan Building with sit-down cocktails and amazing music. Secret

Born in Bethlehem and living in the West Bank for all his childhood, Sam Gang, enrolled in Georgetown University and this year is on exchange to the University of Sydney, which was to be for a semester. Now he is stranded in Sydney. But where better to be stuck than at St Paul’s College. Sam is currently in his final year of undergraduate studies at Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, majoring in international politics and double minoring in Jewish Civilisation and Arabic. He was accepted into a selective accelerated Master’s program in Security Studies, and has combined the last year of undergraduate with the first year of post graduate studies. Sam is so very grateful to the College community for accepting him and giving him a place of refuge where he can continue his studies safely. The Master’s program has a focus on counter-terrorism and sub-state violence. His experience

Amidst online exams, remote lectures, and a much stranger start to postgraduate study than our students could ever have contemplated, academic matters in Graduate House have gone from strength to strength in 2020.  The centrepiece in the academic life of the House was the Academic Dinner, held under the stars in Third Quad, where we welcomed four new Amy Louise Hart Scholars, honouring their excellent academic achievement in Semester 1: Leo Sun, Aoife Marie Hogan, Victoria Andres and Aggée Loblack. At the height of lockdown, tutorials, seminars, and meetings continued over zoom! Doctoral student Patrick Dawson presented a seminar on his PhD (Philosophy) research, ‘There truly is no past’, law students meet online to discuss essay and exam technique, and the newly formed Writing Group zoomed in from across Australia to discuss their writing projects.  As restrictions eased and we could once again meet in person, graduate and undergraduate students

Academic success

Despite the disruption caused by the global pandemic, our 2020 Semester 1 results were some of the best in the College’s history. Was this something to do with home-based study, the online tutorials, or the concentration resulting from no social activities? Perhaps Sem 2 results will answer this… Right now we enter the exam period for most Paulines in residence. There are a handful of UTS students who finished two weeks ago and have now left for their end of year break and many post graduates in Graduate House who are winding up exams, pracs and dissertations.  At the Undergraduate Valedictory Dinner on 16 November academic merit was also recognised from 2019 as the usual Academic Dinner in March was cancelled due to COVID. The College celebrated the achievements of 95 individuals with either a High Distinction or Distinction average; Joshua Lorschy, Conor Sutherland, James H Walker and James T
