The fifth annual St Paul's Foundation Bubbles After 5 was a night to remember! Women from across the St Paul’s community came together to celebrate connection, friendship, and a shared sense of fun.

Guest speaker Vinka Wong, clinical nutritionist extraordinaire, captivated everyone with her wisdom and practical insights into well-being. Her key message? Take care of your body and your mind - and get your bloods done while you’re healthy, because “normal” isn’t always optimal. And yes, two sheets of nori seaweed a day will get you your iodine!

The evening also featured a moving moment as Year 13 student Rosie Willson shared her personal journey of tragedy, gratitude, and growth, highlighting the women who have supported her along the way. Rosie, we wish you and your family all the very best for the future.

Adding a touch of musical magic, the St Paul’s Girls Band, featuring Stella Hoskin, Olive Rose-Hapuku, Vivian Ko, and Charlotte Belz, delivered a flawless performance of Elton John’s "Piano Man," filling the room with energy and joy.

Of course, no celebration is complete without incredible food. Thanks to the culinary talents of Chef Warner, Chef Elly, and the dedicated kitchen team, guests enjoyed a delicious spread that kept spirits high throughout the evening.

To every woman who attended: thank you! We know how busy this time of year can be, and we’re so grateful you chose to spend your evening connecting with the St Paul’s community.

We can’t wait to see you all again next year on 12 November 2026, and you can view the great photos from the night here.
