Sports

At St George’s Physical Education and Sports are understood as fundamental components in the comprehensive education of students.

Each of the students have the possibility to develop a great variety of psico- motor activities and to practice, per season, the traditional group and individual sports that define our Institution: male rugby and female hockey as central sports as well as swimming, athletics, football, basketball, cricket and golf. The organization of internal events, Interhouses and Inter-schools in a local, national or international scale, are an important part in this education process.

The participation of our students in sports is observed as a means of growth and formation in which moral values and “fair play” are considered the main pillars.
