Charmilliot, an Austrian Jesuit, first stepped into the compound of St Paul's as the chaplain of Our Lady of Mount Carmel chapel, that existed on these premises.

Though it was started primarily for the Catholics, it has opened its doors to students of all religions, castes, ethnic backgrounds, and colour.

It has earned distinctions at ten times the average rate for the Presidency and has once more secured the Latin prize.In 1974 there was rethinking about education, especially in Jesuit institutions.

The boarding had for some years a supplementary section called the orphanage, which catered to destitute children whose parents had died in plagues or other epidemics.

On this occasion a skit depicted the events from the birth of man to St Paul's in its present state.

The school conducts a Passing Out parade for the SSLC batch in February each year.

Till recently the passing out batch wore white shirts and black pants with a tie.

"KRONOS" an inter-school 2 day business -cultural event is also organised by the Cabinet members with their team.

In course of this process students learn management skills in aspects of time, money, marketing, public relations etc.

The school magazine, The Paulite as it came to be known later on, or the St Paul's Annual as it was known initially, was the brainchild of Fr.

The magazine ceased publication in 1992, then in 2004 some parents, ex-students, began publishing three or four issues a year.

In jubilee year 2006, The Paulite was revived, to give students a chance to practice their skills at communication in prose and poetry.

The latter draws a large crowd with teams from Goa, Kolhapur, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, and other cities.
