FORTNIGHTLY NEWS AND EVENTS FOR ST GEORGE’S PARENTS
From the Principal Tina Campbell
Chapel this week saw us hear from our Year 11 students seeking to be our School Captains for 2023. They all spoke beautifully and reflected upon their own St George’s journey and wanting to give back to the school that has meant so much to them as students. Their obvious passion and enthusiasm for the School, and wanting to leave their mark and make a positive difference as the future leaders of the School was truly inspirational. I wish them all the very best in the final stage of the process. Our School Captains, along with our other student leaders, both Captains and Prefects, will be announced at our Handover Assembly which will be held on Monday 17 October at St George’s Cathedral. Parents are warmly welcome to attend this event.

We also reflected as a school on the passing of her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and what we can learn from her leadership of over 70 years as our Head of State. Regardless of what you may think of the Monarchy, anyone in leadership or who aspires to be a leader can learn much from her remarkable leadership style, not because of her status, but because of what she stood for as a leader.
A number of our St George’s students will be attending a special service of commemoration marking the death of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Monday 19 September at 11am at St George’s Cathedral. This service is open to the public should other members 1
