In 2021, St George’s College will be celebrating 125 years and alongside this the Old Georgians Association will be celebrating its Centenary (100 years).
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 pupils 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 comprehensive cultural programme which provides pupils 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.

Today is Ash Wednesday, or the ‘Day of Ashes’. It is the first day of Lent, a season of reflection, prayer, penitence and fasting leading up to Easter Sunday. It is also one of the most important holy days in the Catholic Church’s Liturgical calendar.
The day derives its name from the practice of having a cross drawn in ash on your forehead. Dust and the sign of the cross are worn like “badges of honour”. The imposition of ashes — of dust — is a reminder of our death, and is a symbol of sorrow for our sins.
The symbolism of dust comes from the Book of Genesis chapter 3 verse 19: “You are dust and to dust you will return.” Ashes are normally made from the burnt palm fronds from the previous year’s Palm Sunday.
