G Student Leadership

The Big Four Louise Gibson, Head Girl My year of being head girl was such a unique experience for me. It was such a fantastic opportunity and it taught me so many new things that I feel will help later in life! It was an amazing position to be in for my last year as I really grew close with all of U6. From the hoodies to the stressful UCAS deadlines, it was exciting to say the least. The Big 4 team were also fantastic to work with, and it showed me how working together was always better. It could be busy at times, but the outcome was always worth it, and I feel it has improved my organization and time management skills. Overall, our last year and my year as Head Girl was amazing and, although COVID may have impacted our lives now, we managed to make the most of it and it was a great last year! Emily Simpson, Deputy Head Girl My final year at St George’s was made even more special by taking on the role of Deputy Head Girl. This role was a huge honour and, despite the challenges, was great fun. Working closely with Lower School, the student leadership team and the Big 4 enabled me to develop skills in leadership, communication and organisation which will continue to assist me throughout university life. My final term was certainly unique, but this brought our year group even closer together and made my U6 year even more special. I will be forever thankful for the amazing friendships I’ve formed and the memories I've made during my time at St George’s.

Saffron Buxton, Senior Prefect After being at St. George’s since nursery, the Big 4 was something I always looked up to, so the opportunity to take on the role of Senior Prefect made my final year all that more special. The role has been very rewarding and I have gained valuable skills. The role has challenged me, especially when it came to balancing my workload and planning our Leavers’ Ball, but it was more than worthwhile to watch my year group come together and make lasting memories. It has been an honour to be Senior Prefect, especially this year during the circumstances we have faced. Overall, this year has been very special and I could not have asked for a better experience at St. George’s. Rebecca Provenziani, Head of Boarding Being the Head of Boarding has been one of the most enjoyable accomplishments throughout my time at St George’s. Although Upper 6 is the toughest year in terms of workload and responsibilities, the hard work is rewarded with fun and laughter. Taking up a new role turned out to be a challenging task at times, yet it enriched my school experience generously. I was able to strengthen my bond with people of different ages and backgrounds, got to know their culture and now share many fond memories with them. To my surprise, I have felt more at home than ever before and I am thankful for everyone who was part of my journey in St George’s and the memorable experience there.
