SGA SPORTS PREFECT As Sports Prefect I act as a role model to the other girls, inspiring and encouraging them to participate in the wide range of sports St George’s has to offer. It provides me with an excellent opportunity to get to know the younger girls and form friendships across years groups which is a key element of life at St George’s.
The environment within the sports department at St George’s is extremely supportive and welcoming to girls of all capabilities and this ensures that there is a place for every girl within the department, which I believe is one of the many things that sets St George’s apart.
