Life at St George’s
Timetable: Monday to Friday from 08.00 to 16.30
Between March and June the principal sport activities practised by the girls are: gym, swimming, and hockey. As an alternative they can also play: handball, tennis, golf or cricket or participate in aerobics.
Boys practise the same sports but play rugby and basketball instead of hockey.
Between August and November girls practise hockey, tennis, athletics, handball, softball and diving and the boys practise rugby, basketball, football and cricket.
Three times a week pupils have 60 minutes classes of Physical Education and sports.
Once a week they have an hour of activities, and they can choose from different creative classes such as theatre, music and art, sports or Community service.
Special Events
Once a month, normally on Saturdays, a sports tournament or festival is held with the participation of all pupils and parents.
In addition the College has a large theatre where school plays and other cultural and artistic exhibitions are presented.
The Weather
Our weather is fairly unpredictable. In March we generally have temperatures of 30º degrees and between April and June they go down to 5ºC.
Between August and November the temperature goes up again from 10ºC to 25ºC.
We suggest bringing a thin raincoat, as students have to walk long distances in the open air from one building to another. For example, the dining room is 250 metres from the College classrooms.
