Big 4

The Big Four

Taking on the role of Head Girl has been a wonderful way to conclude my school career. Over the past year, the school day has felt in limbo between normal and not-quite-so normal. Although many events were off the table, I am proud of what we, the Big 4, Upper sixth and the school have accomplished this year. Upper School Student Council has been revamped, there is a renewed focus on wellbeing, and we even managed to squeeze one full assembly in! This year has taught me the importance of working together and understanding my own weaknesses. I am certain that the lessons I have learnt will equip me very well for later on in life. I am beyond grateful for this experience, to St George’s for teaching me so much and everyone who has helped me along the way. Anya Gray - Head Girl

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have been Deputy Head Girl this year. Being immersed in the school community has been very special and I have loved working with both younger and older students as well as staff and Senior Leadership. Providing a way for students to have a more formalised voice, through setting up the Student Council, has been a wonderful highlight for me. It is my hope that the Student Council will become an integral part of school life. As our final year at school draws to a close (still getting my head around that!), I can appreciate the value and lifelong skills I have developed through this role – from communication and organisation to taking initiative and encouraging change. My time at St George’s has been filled with friendships, memories, and happy times. I am so proud of our year who have navigated bravely through many uncertainties and I feel honoured to have been a part of this inspiring group of friends – thank you class of ’22.

During my eleven years at St George’s, I have always looked up to the Big 4 and being appointed as Senior Prefect was a huge privilege. The role has equipped me with many transferable skills which I developed through leading the Sixth Form Prefects, collaborating with Junior School across a range of activities and events, organising the Leaver’s Ball, and directing The Revue. Whilst it’s been a busy year, balancing the Senior Prefect role with studying for Advanced Highers and pursuing my cocurricular activities (including Gold DofE and 2XI Hockey Captain), it has been so rewarding and memorable. My St George’s experience has been amazing and I’m forever grateful for all the friendships made. Grace Griffith - Senior Prefect

After joining St George’s in 2020 for my last two years of school, getting to be a part of the Big 4 as Head of Boarding was an amazing and fulfilling experience. I was able to show leadership as well as gaining so many other valuable skills along the way. Not only was my role rewarding, it made my time in Houldsworth so special; I am so grateful for the opportunity to strengthen my bond with the other boarders and our house parents. In the Big 4, being able to work as a team with my friends made a stressful last year so much more enjoyable and all of the hard work worth it. Although I haven’t been at St George’s for long, it is undoubtedly a home away from home; and I greatly cherish all the friends and memories I have made during my time. Julia Fulton - Head of Boarding
