The power of connection

The St Paul's Foundation's 'Bubbles After 5' is a unique event which creates a community that celebrates and connects the ladies of St Paul's Collegiate School.

On Thursday 9 November, with the sound of popping corks, the bubbles were poured and Megan Smith, Chair of the St Paul’s Foundation, welcomed 300 women to the complimentary evening. Venessa Joyce (Year 12) opened the soiree with a musical performance, before guest speaker Lisa O’Neill took the stage.

Lisa is a well-known author, speaker and mother of four who is passionate about women living magnificent lives. She wants women to know their worth, speak their truth and love life. Lisa is the first to admit that a fabulous pair of shoes, bright lippy and a sparkle here and there does wonders for a daily dose of positivity!

Catherine Clark, Waikato Anglican College Trust Board and St Paul’s Foundation Director, concluded the evening by thanking Lisa for her energy and hilarious stories and acknowledging Megan’s remarkable work leading the St Paul’s Foundation.

‘Bubbles After 5’ will be back on 8 November 2023, so keep an eye out for the tickets!
