St George's College brings together a rare and exhilarating blend of academic excellence, social engagement, sporting prowess and cultural enrichment.
St George's College offers a comprehensive curriculum to cater for all our pupils’ aspirations.
We believe that developing the optimism and resilience students need to successfully navigate life is as important as academic education, and will enhance their engagement with learning.
Our Jesuit Ethos flows from the twofold commandment of our Lord Jesus Christ which stresses the love of God and love of one’s neighbour.
For an all-round development of a child, the St George's College curriculum includes sports. A sufficient amount of school time is devoted to sports.
We offer a diverse cultural programme which provides students the opportunity to develop skills needed in a changing world, and to learn the value of doing everything for the Greater Glory of God.
We have a variety of activities that take place during the term. We are keen to keep you informed on up and coming events you maybe interested in.

Aims of the Department
Religious Education is at the heart of the College and day-to-day life; it is the raison d-être of every Jesuit institute of learning. Its aim is to help students get in touch with their inner selves to realise that each person is a gift from the Creator to other persons and therefore has a calling to respond accordingly. Ideally, this is nurtured through the structures of religion. Although the focus here is the Catholic Christian religion, the intention is that through lessons and religious services students of non-Christian faiths will also be encouraged to deepen their respective faiths.
Syllabus
Form 1
Form 2
Form 3
Form 4
In the Sixth Form, the students of each form are in groups that have a session each with five teachers. The topics covered include:
Religious Education also has its pastoral side. Junior, Middle and Senior school each have a chapel service once per cycle. This takes the form of either the Celebration of the Eucharist, or a Reconciliation service, or a Liturgy of the Hours. Singing practices also occur from time to time. All Chapel services are compulsory for all students. Christian Life Communities (CLC), Crusaders and Bible Club are activities where life issues are shared and the spiritual life nourished.
Days of Recollection are offered to each year group where they can move out of their daily routines and set aside times for reflection and spiritual renewal. The Upper Sixth Form is offered a directed Retreat in Daily Life; only a limited number can be accommodated at any one time.
The Department, in conjunction with others, encourages the students to become Men and Women For and With Others. Much success is achieved through the positive contribution of many seniors. The department’s aim is to form leaders of competence, conscience and compassionate commitment in imitation of Jesus Christ our Saviour.
