The World in 2028
We interviewed 30 global experts across disciplines such as astrophysics, economics, theology and philosophy to build a picture of what the world will look like in 2028. The result is the St Paul’s Future Planning Project.

We have been researching extensively, imagining what the world of 2028 might hold when our current Pre-Prep students reach the final year of compulsory education. As a result of the process four narratives describing possible futures were developed.
We don’t just prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow – some our students go on to create them. These are some of their stories:
Alex is both a keen mathematician, researcher and entrepreneur. Using his self-taught programming and digital media skills from his middle school days, he founded Canvas Digital Media in 2014 with a fellow St Paul’s alumni. Canvas Digital now produces websites, corporate videos and works of animation, along with graphics for a variety of clients. Noticing a niche in the high school tutoring market, Alex also founded AB Tutors in 2013 and has provided numerous students with quality, personal, tutoring. Alex is never satisfied with doing things using traditional methods, and is always on the hunt for new ideas.
