“St George's is more than just a school to me. Because the unwavering support from dedicated teachers has instilled the resilience to never give up. And, beyond the classroom, it’s provided me with invaluable opportunities: for instance, our Nepal volunteering trip transformed my outlook on life, challenging my aversion to the outdoors and reluctance to step out of my comfort zone. Helping with an elephant charity there showed me the importance of respecting all life. Meanwhile, leading the Upper School debating team and my five years in CCF also provided a sense of direction. As well as a break from the demands of school, CCF was instrumental in helping me achieve the Gold Duke of Edinburgh award. Now I’m hoping to study history (particularly Scottish and American) at Glasgow – but when I began at St George’s, I doubted my ability to excel in a subject like history which required cohesive writing skills. So it just shows how much St George's has boosted my confidence.”
