Later becoming known as the Dominican Convent school. On 22 October 1984 it was purchased by the Sisters of St Paul de Chartres opening in 1986 as Aurora College. In 1997 Sister Angelina Fong arrived as School Director and changed its name from Aurora College to St Paul's International College.[1]

St Paul's was initially a senior secondary school catering for years 11 and 12 (ages 17 and 18). In 2009 enrolment was open for years 9 and 10 (aged 15 and 16), and in 2012 for years 7 and 8 (ages 13 and 14).

In January 2020, about 35 international students who had returned to school after visiting China were put into lockdown. The move was made following growing concerns about Coronavirus.[2]
