The Paulian "Spirit", which includes so many diverse elements, defies full analysis or definition. A scholar might identify one component as LaSallian ethos, another as the will to persevere; but this is murdering to dissect. The Paulian Spirit is simply that undefinable intangible something in the air one senses the moment one steps into the school compound. It is as old as SPI but yet lives on, having evolved and adapted to ensure its relevance to the needs and demands of the present day. 

  Paulians are not perhaps the most modest of people. The famous rhetorical question of "Who's the Best?" followed by the rousing full-throated roar of "SPI" is symptomatic of their unabashed self-confident. This sentiment, one might hasten to add, is not born of arrogance or superiority, but results from a justifiable pride in belonging to a school that has a tradition, a sense of values and a glittering record of achievements. New schools may have excellent facilities, competent staffs intelligent pupils, but more often than not, things simply do not "click" -for missing is TRADITION- that sense of being part of a great institution and an epic history. Other things being equal, the Paulian Spirit is what carries the Paulian over the final threshold and on to success. 

  The Paulian Spirit then stems from our being the great custodians of a great tradition of which it is our duty to cherish, nurture and enhance as we pass it on to future generation. It is our most valuable asset, our most prized possession. It will sustain us, and give us strength as we confront the obstacles Life places in our way. 

  The Paulian Spirit today is a torch that has been handed down from each succeeding generation of Paulian to the next. It burns ever bright and illuminates our future, driving away the shadows of despair and disillusionment that may at times encroach upon our souls. It is our common identity, the symbol of our oneness, the bond that unites all Paulian as we advance through lifetrue to our Alma Mater. 

May the Paulian Spirit shine through us…………….
