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.
The St George’s Development Office comprises of the following roles and functions: Development and Fundraising, Marketing, Alumni and Communications.
The Examen – or Reflection – is an integral part of the College’s and Hartmann House’s daily routine, practised at the end of each teaching day, just before the last bell has rung.
It was introduced in 2014 and is an ancient Ignatian technique of quiet, prayerful reflection and seeing God’s hand at work in our overall, day-to-day experiences. It encourages us to become aware of God’s presence; to review the day with gratitude; to pay attention to one’s emotions; to choose one feature from that day and pray from it; and then to look forward to tomorrow.
The method was adapted from one of St Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises. He thought that the Examen was a gift that came directly from God, and that God wanted it to be shared as widely as possible.
One of the few rules of prayer that Ignatius made for the Jesuit order was the requirement that Jesuits practise the Examen twice daily and is a habit that Jesuits, and many other Christians, including the members of the College and Hartmann House, continue to practice.
