Hello everybody! For those who don’t know me (which are most, I presume), I am Gabriela Maranhão and I will be serving as the Sustainability and Enrichment Prefect for 2026. Although I grew up in Brazil, I only joined St. Paul’s in Form 3, having returned after living three years in the United Kingdom. Aside from being prefect, I am part of the school’s MUN club and am one of the leaders of Project Humanise. Additionally, I play the violin, row recreationally, and paint and draw in my spare time! Fun facts about me are that I am incredibly good at retaining song lyrics and that I only realized I had been incorrectly spelling my full name in all papers I signed when I was 9. I also love The Legend of Zelda, musicals, reading, and collecting pocket watches. If there is ever anything related to my area you would like to talk about (be it sustainability initiatives, enrichment ideas or anything of the sort), please feel free to reach out!  ​

Max Cunningham
CAS PREFECT
Hi! My name is Max Cunningham, and I’m the CAS Prefect. I help encourage students to get involved in creativity, activity, and service while making their projects meaningful and impactful, making CAS something that people genuinely enjoy rather than just a requirement. At school I also lead the investment club and the finance club where we explore topics like investing, financial markets, and valuation, helping students learn how money and businesses work in the real world. ​

Catarina Muro
stuart house prefect
Hi everyone! My name is Catarina and I am the Stuart Prefect for 2026. I only joined St. Paul's two and a half years ago, but I found some pretty cool hobbies here. At school, I love acting in the school play, being a part of the varsity volleyball team, and leading the SWENext club. Outside the academic environment, I enjoy listening to rock music and practicing sports like jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, and Olympic shooting, and my favourite moments of the day involve singing in car trips (even though I'm a bit out of tune). I have a passion for landscape photography and enjoy snapping pictures of nature and nice views wherever I go with my camera. Go Stuart! ​

Hey everyone! My name is Talitha, but you can call me Tati, and I’ll be your Windsor House Perfect for 2026! I joined the school in PP1, but I lived abroad from Form 3 to Lower 6. I take part in projects like Projeto Fluir and Project Gold and am the current leader of Amigos da Brilho. I play Varsity Volleyball on the school team and LOVE watching sports, specially Formula 1 and football (vai Palmeiras)!! I love taking part in the school play; some of my favorite memories are from past plays I’ve acted in. Outside of school, I love listening to music and hanging out with my friends!!

Leo Gaz
Tudor house prefect
Hey everyone! My name is Leo and I am this year’s Tudor Prefect! I am looking forward to bringing house pride and engagement in house activities to the next level. Besides being a prefect, I also lead the St. Paul’s Investment Club, The Mane Review, Guide Your Future, and the McCanns’ Scholars’ Society. I have lived abroad, having left the school in prep one and coming back in form 2. Besides academics, though, I love to ski, go out with friends, and cheer for SPFC!  ​

Analú Ribeiro
Arts prefect
Heyy everyone, not trying to flex, but you've probably seen me around carrying a lot of stuff in my hands, arms, and bag, but for those that never noticed a girl carrying a giant canvas or portfolio, I am Analù Ribeiro, and for this season I'm going to be the Arts prefect. Even with most of my social life, like friends, school, etc., being in São Paulo, I was not born here; therefore, I'm a Taboanense (name given for those that are born in Taboão da Serra). Dismissing all the formal introductions and stuff, I spend most of my time drawing, just as expected, but I also love arts and crafts. A huge hidden passion for me is carpentry; I really like to deal with challenging materials such as wood and metals. I'm also very passionate about fashion and design; I like making clothes and designing jewelry for fun! Still in the artistic field, but more focused on the music area, I enjoy playing the pandero and berimbau. I know that this one is not common, and I love it. Appealing to emotions, I have an obsession with cats and recently found my cat that I've adopted since last term is a female and not a male cat (after six months) hahahah. I'm someone that really enjoys parties, travelling, dancing, and all these type of things; therefore, I informally invite you to come to talk to me or ask a question just so we can know each other ! ;) ​

Maria Eduarda Zurita
sports prefect
Hi, I'm Maria Eduarda (but people call me Madu) and I'll be your Sports Prefect for 2026. I'm part of the Varsity Football and Futsal teams at school, MUN and I'm one of the leaders of the Desenhe um Sorriso initiative. Outside of school, I enjoy running, cooking, watching movies and spending time with my friends. I hope to encourage the importance of supporting one another and learning how to play as a team.  ​
