The college's Student Representative Council organised guest speakers from Dolly's Dream Truck and Rural Mental Health for the second annual Farmer's Day.
Year 10 students Lara Hamilton, 15, said the foundation was doing important work to address bullying.
"You can't get away from it as everyone these days has a phone," she said.
"I think what they're doing is absolutely great bringing, that focus.
"I think today showed what you can achieve when you put your mind to something."
St Paul's event manager Joanne Knobel said Dolly's story resonated with many students.
"There has been some boarding students from that area who knew her," she said.
"The talks focused on risk factors for mental health and support."
Ms Knobel said having a career expo attached to the day this year was another highlight.

There was also a lunch for visitors, a 'farmer's challenge' and performance by former student Dylan Pope.
