Nexus

 (As of September 29, 2019)
Introduction

‘Nexus’ represents a link, or a networked bonding. Acting as the active link between the
school, clubs, societies, and the general student body, Nexus aims to converge talented students
with different strengths through activities, hence forging a supportive network among students.
Nexus aims to make each and every member of SPCC feel accepted and appreciated through all
their efforts and achievements. In keeping with a tradition of education and involvement, the
student unions of St. Paul’s Co-educational College have continually strived to facilitate a
positive learning atmosphere. As a torchbearer to the cause, Nexus will focus on engagement,
endeavour and evolution to achieve its goals. Engagement represents the focus on involving the
student body in active participation, creativity and communication, for example, our brand-new
activity ‘Art Jamming Day - Aurora’ engages students in a grand creation which prizes collective
venture and appreciation; Endeavour represents the focus on encouraging the expression of talent
and creation of experiences, for example, the ‘Talent Quest- Halo’ provides a platform for
students to showcase their talent and courage; Evolution represents the goal of preserving
essential progress and innovating with practicality, for example, a variety of local exchange
programmes are currently under the planning process and will be announced upon further notice.
These ‘3E’s act as directions for our cabinet to achieve the ultimate goal - strengthening bonds
between different student bodies and establishing a supportive atmosphere in the school.
