To observe the Pearl Jubilee, St Paul’s School organised an Inter School Short Film Competition. Various schools of the city participated in the competition.

Schools from the city like St. Xavier's School, St. Theresa's Girls School, St. Mary's Convent School, Carmel Convent School BHEL and Ratanpur participated in it.
The programme started with the invocation of god, followed by the lighting of lamp. School Principal Rev. Fr. Sebi and Vice-Principal Rev. Fr. Peter welcomed the Chief Guest Ravi William, Story writer, Director of Films, magazines and television shows along with the special jury members Rev. Fr. James ML (Writer and director of dance dramas), Rev. Fr. Nitin (Director, Navchetna Communications) and Wilson Samuel (Video editor) for the ceremony.
The competition was based on different social themes like Dowry system, awareness about Helmet, increasing suicide among teenagers, grandparents – our real assets and more. Few presentations were so beautiful that it made the audience speechless.
While addressing the gathering Ravi William said that the whole event was like a story telling and every group was able to transfer the right message and left an impression on everyone's mind.
