Headmaster´s Introduction Mr Ian Tate’s introduction to Secondary Speech Day Celebrations Welcome to the 120th Speech Day. This year has been a very interesting and challenging one in many ways. I would like to begin by introducing our guest of honour today. Mr Jaime Campo is an Old Georgian who graduated in 2004 from Quilmes. He has an Economics degree from CEMA University, a diploma in International Finance from Tilburg University in The Netherlands and he is a qualified public accountant. In his short working life he has founded 3 companies, was a partner in another and a Board member in another. He has a passion for rugby and founded Berazategui Rugby Club, the first socially oriented rugby club in Southern Buenos Aires, in 2010 and was manager of the OG Club Rugby team when they started playing again in the URBA in 2011. He has a special story to tell and I look forward to you all hearing it soon. Welcome and thank you for joining us today Jaime. As always the school year at St George’s College is full of opportunities for the students and I will try to give a brief resume today of the year’s highlights.
The good work done by the Mathematics Olympic team cumulated in Lucas Lonegro Gurfinkel gaining an Honorable mention in the National Finals in Cordoba for the second year in succession. The Chemistry Olympics finals in Córdoba saw four students qualify and three won medals: Celeste Furuya won a Silver Medal and Lucía Ruiz and Rosario de la Portilla obtained Bronze Medals. Victoria Picolla also qualified. On the Sports field the St George’s College combined 1st Rugby & Hockey teams played together on many occasions with the highlights being the trip to Chile to play in The Grange Tournaments and the St George’s College Rugby International Invitation Tournament where they finished as Champions. The ES1 Cross Country team combined with the Prep School to become ADE Champions and the Boys won the Invitation Athletics Tournament with the Girls coming second. The girls won the Invitation Football Tournament whilst the Junior Boys teams took 2nd Place in both the ADE Seven a side Rugby and Football Tournaments. Valentino Mosca Cofiño, Tomás Capón, Tomás Van Leeuwen, Guido Angeletti (ES3) and Hernán Williams (Coach) represented the Argentine Schools in a cricket tour to South Africa.
The Creative Arts Department produce wonderful work and the first Dance Tour to Canada was a fitting way to celebrate the dedication and hard work the students are putting into this discipline. The College musical ‘The Dreamer’ was the Ian Tate Overall Headmaster biggest school musical to date. It was wonderful to see a show that involved the whole community and even had a The Old Georgian rugby teams celebrated using the Old Georstudent orchestra. As always, we enjoyed high quality senior and gian colours for the first time by competing in four URBA divisions junior plays and an excellent IB Art exhibition. I would like to say (U15, 16, 17 and 19) and the U17 won the Plate Trophy in the end of a special thank you to the dedicated members of the choir who season 7 a side competition. have represented the school on so many important occasions this year, especially the 100 years celebration of the ending of the First The International exam results were very good at the end of last World War.

institutions such as Casa del Niño, Hogar Evangelina and Filochicos, special events such as the walk for ‘Medicins sans Frontieres’ and the interactive workshops with blind, deaf or mute people from the Audela Foundation enhance the experience for our students. Without doubt though the experience that has the biggest impact on the students is their involvement in the NGOs ‘Techo por mi Pais’ and ‘Sumando Ladrillos’. These experiences, where the students go out and build living accommodation give them the opportunity to reflect deeply about many aspects of the world in which we live. The boys moved into the co-educational Boarding House in February and have enjoyed its modern facilities. The girls are permanent visitors during their free time and are very much looking forward to moving in next year. Flexi boarding has been a huge success and the interesting workshops and activities that are being offered have given the boarders the most enrichment activities they have ever had. Leo Barcelo, Elodie Pierre and their team of tutors have worked very hard during the year on this new project and this is very much appreciated. A big effort by the DCO to attract donors ensured the KG and younger prep students now have swimming all year round on the school premises. The whole community will be able to benefit from this pool next year. The school is very grateful to all the donors who made these projects possible. The Student Council has contributed much to the school this year and their weekly debates are enriching and they come to sensible conclusions. Most of the questions asked and problems presented by their fellow students can be answered by the council. The decision to allow the girls to wear trousers came from this body and I shall be interested to see how many take advantage of this next year. We are here today to celebrate student achievements and highlight the activities that go on in the school. But life at school is not always so positive. This year learning to deal properly with social media has been a challenge and situations have arisen that make us think seriously about how we are going to move forward. A school is all about people, and the constant interaction between them. It is not only teachers connecting with students but teachers with teachers and of course, students with students. We also have to add to the equation all the support staff that the school employs, plus parents, visitors and OGs that come to the campus in the evening. The multiple permutations of possible contact between people are enormous and this becomes immeasurable if you include social media. The school has to ensure this contact is correct and appropriate and a word that you will be hearing a lot next year is safeguarding. The school is a safe place for the students, and employees, but we need to put in place a few more guidelines to ensure everyone clearly understands their role, relationships are clear and appropriate contact is maintained.
The Camada 1968 are here visiting today to celebrate the 50 years since they graduated. Thank you for coming and I imagine you have seen many changes in the school since you left. You would have also seen many things that are the same, and that sums up St George’s College, delicately merging tradition with innovation. One person who has helped keep this fine balance from outside the educational sphere is Mrs Lally Barr. She has played many roles in her time here, from mother to manager, from the Heads PA to leading the DCO, and there is no one with as much knowledge about all areas of the school, or as passionate about her school, as Lally. She is leaving her present post as school manager this year and, after taking a well-deserved trip, will continue working part time in the DCO. Telma Legris is also retiring this year after working for 15 in the English Department and for the past ten years with the Georgian magazine and Newsletter. Also leaving us after 3 years is our Economics teacher Mr Summerhayes. I thank them all for their contribution to the school and wish them well in their new adventures. To finish off I would like to leave you with a couple of holiday thoughts. The translation power point had no photos on it. I know this goes against good educational practice but I want to encourage us all to read more, just as the English department and their new Prefects have been doing. A book invites you to imagine scenes that only you can see in your mind. They are yours and you are not recalling an image you have previously seen in a picture. Have you thought about how many times you put a camera between your eyes and the scene you are witnessing? Live the moment, enjoy it live, take in all the sensations and try to remember, in your mind, how you felt at that very special moment. Thank you for your attention and time. Have a wonderful, relaxing and safe holiday. Vestigia Nulla Retrorsum

Guest of Honor´s Speech Mr Jaime Campo Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I would like to start by thanking Mr. Tate for the invitation to speak here this morning and thanking you all for welcoming me. I also want to congratulate every one of you, faculty, students, parents and staff, for the inspiring community that you build here every day. It has been some time since my last visit and I had almost forgotten the vibrant energy one feels once you step inside the College. You might not notice it, but there´s magic in the air. When Mr. Tate first told me about speaking here, my initial reaction was negative: “Ian, I appreciate you thinking of me, but I can´t honestly think of anything I could tell the students that might interest them, and speeches are usually given by ‘the president of…’ or ‘the director of…’ and I have no fancy titles. We agreed I would give it some thought and that night I spoke about it with my wife, Agostina. She convinced me, as she has been doing everyday for the last 10 years, that I should go for it. So, if you get bored, she´s to blame.“ I want to tell you just 3 short stories about my life and three things I learnt from them. I will turn to Spanish now. La primera historia arranca exactamente hace 16 años, yo era un chico como ustedes, tenía 15 años y estaba sentado ahí, donde ustedes están sentados ahora, muriéndome de calor, escuchando hablar a un hombre que no sabía quién era sobre algo que no me interesaba, esperando que termine lo más rápido posible para irme a mi casa, tirarme a la pileta, jugar al fútbol con mis amigos y empezar las vacaciones. Por suerte el discurso fue corto, terminó rápido y arrancó el verano. Yo era fanático del deporte, lo único que quería era jugar al rugby, y ese verano quería entrenar mucho para llegar bien al año siguiente. Pasaron unos días de esos típicos de vacaciones, y llegó el viernes 27 de diciembre de 2002. Era una noche calurosa de esas de antes de las tormentas y decidí salir a correr porque al día siguiente nos íbamos de vacaciones e iba a estar en el auto todo el día. Esa noche corrí 10km y nunca me sentí tan bien corriendo. Me fui a dormir contento, si seguía corriendo así iba llegar bárbaro a la pretemporada. Esa fue la última vez que corrí en mi vida. A la mañana siguiente me subí al auto con mi familia para irme de vacaciones y me quedé dormido. Cuando me desperté, estaba tirado debajo de un puente, a 30 metros de la ruta y con la mitad de mi cuerpo en el agua. Quise levantarme, pero no podía mover las piernas. Ahí me preocupé. 8 _ ST G E O R G E ’ S CO LLEGE Q U ILM ES
De los días que siguieron no me acuerdo mucho, me operaron, me trasladaron de hospital en hospital. Unos días después, mis papás entraron a mi habitación con un médico y me lo dijeron: Habíamos tenido un accidente, con el golpe me había fracturado la columna y un pedacito de hueso se me habían metido en la médula. Mis piernas ya no recibían las órdenes del cerebro para moverse. ¿Voy a poder volver a jugar al rugby? Les pregunté. “Recemos para que puedas volver a caminar” me dijeron. Fue un día difícil. Sólo 1 mes después de estar sentado ahí dónde están ustedes, igual que están ustedes ahora, esperando que termine el discurso para irme a casa y que arranquen las vacaciones, estaba en la cama de un hospital, pensando que no iba a volver a caminar nunca más en mi vida. Increíble como la vida puede cambiar tanto en tan poco tiempo. Ahí aprendí mi primera lección: aunque hoy no lo puedas ver, sos un privilegiado. Si estás sentado acá hoy, sos un privilegiado. Valorá las oportunidades que tenés, valorá todo lo que podés hacer. Agradecé y disfrutá cada día. La segunda historia arranca poco tiempo después. Yo seguía en el hospital. Cuando te pasa algo como lo que me pasó, tu vida cambia de repente y te tenés que acostumbrar a un montón de cosas que no son fáciles. Una de las cosas que mas pensás es: ¿Por qué a mi?. Yo no podía dejar de pensar en eso.
Una mañana, entró mi mamá a mi habitación llorando, se sentó al lado de mi cama y me dijo: ¨Jaime, queremos que te despidas de tu hermana porque está muy mal¨. Me llevaron, en mi cama a la habitación de mi hermana, Celina, que había tenido un golpe mucho más fuerte que el mío y se había fracturado el cráneo, para que la viera por última vez. Ella tenía 8 años. Esa noche hice una promesa. Si Celina salía de esa, no me importaba lo que me pasara a mi, lo iba a enfrentar sin quejarme. Pasaron los días, las semanas. Celina mejoró y salió del hospital, y después de un tiempo se recuperó completamente. A mi me trasladaron a otro hospital de rehabilitación dónde estuve dos meses. Mi papá, qué en ese momento era el director de una empresa, dejó el trabajo y se instaló a vivir conmigo en el hospital. Me dijo que nada le importaba más que verme caminar de vuelta. Pasaron las semanas y, con muchísimo esfuerzo, pude empezar a dar algunos pasos. Me dejaron irme a casa, pero tenía que ir todos los días al hospital, que quedaba a 100 km de mi casa, desde la mañana hasta la noche. Mi papá volvió a trabajar y fue mi mamá la que me llevó y me trajo al hospital y me acompañó todo el día durante meses. De a poco fui mejorando cada vez más. En agosto de ese año, decidimos que volviera al Colegio de a poco, para probar. Yo pasaba la mayor parte del día en silla de ruedas y en ese momento en el Colegio ni siquiera había rampas. Todas las rampas que uds ven ahora, el baño adaptado, todo eso se hizo inicialmente para mi hace 16 años. Seguro muchos de ustedes saben lo difícil que es ser distinto cuando estás en el Colegio. Si sos muy alto, si sos demasiado flaco, si sos más gordito, si sos más bajo, es fácil sentirse fuera de lugar. Yo volví al Colegio en silla de ruedas y me sentía el más distinto de todos. Tenía miedo. Pero acá me estaban esperando mis amigos. Me recibieron, me hicieron sentir qué nada había cambiado y desde ese día nunca más me dejaron solo. Hoy, 16 años después, me siguen cuidando como ese primer día que volví al Colegio. Son mis hermanos. Algunos de ellos están acá hoy. Esa, es la segunda lección que aprendí: Cuidá a tu familia y a tus amigos. Valoralos, cuidalos, deciles que los querés. Acompañalos cuando lo necesiten. Ellos van a estar ahí cuando vos los necesites. Son lo mejor que tenés en la vida.
año la pasé muy bien. Me divertí con mis amigos, me fui de viaje de egresados con ellos, mientras seguía haciendo rehabilitación y mejorando día a día. Pero llegó fin de año y no tenía ni idea qué estudiar. Ni idea. Me puse a pensar y no se me ocurría nada. En esa época me llevaba muy bien con nuestro profesor de economía. Me había ido a visitar al hospital y me había ayudado mucho a ponerme al día. Yo no entendía mucho de nada en ese momento, pero este hombre me caía bien así que cuando me dijo que vaya a estudiar economía le hice caso. Y fui. Fui a la facultad, y al principio la economía me encantaba y me iba muy bien. Terminé la carrera pero al final me dí cuenta que la economía no era para mí. Muy teórica. Voy a estudiar contador, decidí. Terminé contador también, pero me dí cuenta que la contabilidad tampoco era para mí. Muy repetitiva. Quise probar con finanzas, así que hice un máster en finanzas. Empecé a trabajar, pero no me gustó lo que hacía. Arranque una fundación para ayudar a chicos con menos suerte que nosotros. Fui entrenador de rugby. Quise ser escritor. Probé con otros trabajos. Fundé mi propia empresa. Probé de todo. Hoy, me levanto y voy contento a trabajar porque me encanta el trabajo que hago y la vida que tengo acompañado de una persona maravillosa. Pero sé que mi búsqueda no terminó, porque la felicidad no es un destino sino una búsqueda, un camino. Esa, es la tercera lección que aprendí: Busquen algo que les encante hacer y háganlo. Háganlo y háganlo. Háganlo cada día mejor. Si les gusta estudiar, estudien mucho. Si les gusta cantar, canten, Si les gusta jugar al hockey o al fútbol, pintar, ayudar a los demás, viajar, diseñar cosas, ser astronauta o ser presidente. Busquen lo que los apasiona y háganlo. Y si al principio no lo encuentran, no se preocupen. Tienen tiempo. Prueben, equivóquense, empiecen de nuevo. Pero nunca, nunca, dejen de buscar. Voy a terminar contándoles algo que va a pasar. En unos días voy a cumplir 32 años y va a ser un momento significativo para mi: voy a llegar al punto en el que voy a haber vivido más años acompañado de este bastón que sin él. Pasó tanto tiempo que casi no me acuerdo de mi vida antes del accidente. Pasé muchas cosas desde el día que estuve sentado ahí hace 16 años, cosas buenas y cosas malas, pero si hoy me dieran la posibilidad de volver a ese día y cambiar mi historia, no cambiaría absolutamente nada.
La tercera historia es del año siguiente. Thank you very much. Me costó mucho ponerme al día y terminar cuarto año, pero con ayuda de los profesores, pude pasar a quinto. En quinto ST GEOR GE’ S COLLEGE QUI LMES _ 9

Mark Duggan Head of Preparatory
One afternoon, many years ago, an old Sioux Indian told his grandson about a battle that is fought inside each person. He said: “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside each one of us. One of them is Wicked. It is anger, envy, jealousy, pain, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other one is Good. It is happiness, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.” The grandson thought about this for a moment and then he asked his grandfather: “What wolf wins?” The Sioux simply replied: “The one you feed”. Throughout the year all Prep teachers take turns to lead Assemblies and the purpose behind this is to help our children choose what wolf to feed and suggest how they might manage this difficult task. It is also important to remember never to feed the wrong one.
both sites, enriching their presentations and playing sport. Our visitors slept the night in our Houses of Residence and enjoyed the hospitality of our adult and student body of hosts.
What a year for the St. George´s 120th Anniversary with a Football World Cup, G20 and a Historic River-Boca final for the Copa Libertadores de América that had to be played in Europe. Here are examples of good and of not such good practice. We as educators and parents have a lot to do in order to put things in perspective and know where to place our efforts and emotions so that we can live together in peace.
The conversation went on and to every objection they found a solution. This is very clear proof that it was a well worth-while experience and that close bonds have been made between the students of both sister schools.
This year we started our new system for student leadership which has worked well for us and we shall be carrying on with it so that we have a boy and a girl as captains of Prep and the same structure will be true in each House. To reach these decisions we consulted EP5 students, their teachers and the present captains of School and House. After this Heads of House, Miss Mabel and I made the final choices. Throughout the year our EP6 worked with their tutors, students and teachers from College, and finally with sixth graders from St. Georges North, to prepare for their PYP Exhibition which was done in November. It was a unique way of running the event because those who were able to witness it were led around the school and learnt a lot about our heritage. The explanations were done in the actual places they spoke about, which made the experience more meaningful. SGN students spent two days with us sharing information on 24 _ ST G E O R G E ’ S COLLEGE Q U ILM ES
On the second day combined Inter House matches were played and then they went to the dining room. St. George´s North returned to Polvorines after sharing lunch together. As I left the dining hall I was stopped by a group of about eight of our girls who asked if their friends from the North could stay longer. They weren´t happy when I said each group needed to go back to their normal activities. “When can we go and visit them” “Next year”, I replied. “That´s too far away, it has to be this year” “But they don´t have a Boarding House”. “We can camp”.
In the May Exeat our teachers attended professional development workshops. Some were led by PYP trainers and others by internal specialists. Thank you and congratulations to the Staff for giving up this time to become better teachers. Aside from a great many courses done by our colleagues, we managed to take more Prep members of staff than ever to the ESSARP Annual Conference in Pilar. For two days we attended enriching conferences and workshops delivered by local and international speakers that are impacting education in different parts of the world. Miss Laura has done a great job with the Choir, assisted by Mr. Thomas. This year we had about 80 members. Next year our plan will be more ambitious and we will have to be more demanding with the dedication and commitment of each member so that we can get the best out of the time invested in it. We have plans for outings and presentations in 2019. We started Rock Band Workshops after class. Ary and Mr. Thomas have managed to keep the interest of various children. We
had some evidence of their progress in an Assembly two weeks ago when a band performed on stage for us. We look forward to seeing this activity flourish as our students develop their skills with the instruments. Miss Sonia was back in action this year directing our Prep Senior Play. She had to work magic finding rehearsal times between Three Way Conferences, end of trimester and World Cup matches but supported by her colleagues they staged two great performances. The Juniors were led bravely by Miss Mariana with her everlasting smile and vast experience, taking advantage of any moment the Theatre wasn´t used for exams. The magic of Peter Pan filled the Hall with colour and happiness as the other hundred and eighty students from the Prep surprised all of us with their confidence and talent on stage. Aside from the other Mathematics competitions that we have been doing so far, this year OMA (Olimpiadas Matemáticas Argentinas) invited us to take part in an international competition called “Olimpiada Matemática Canguro”. Students from EP4 to ES3 took part and we got some very encouraging results. Our students who participated got thirteen bronze, fifteen silver and thirty one gold medals. The increase in the number of children attending Sports Club, and in the frequency of these activities are preparing fertile ground for the formation of teams in the Old Georgian Club. We are proud to say that the Old G first team has moved up another category and will be competing in First Division Rugby next season.
Congratulations to the OG Hockey team for managing to get affiliated to the Argentine Hockey Association. In 2019 they too will be part of official competitions. The community is very grateful for the support of the donors that made it possible to have one of our pools covered and heated. It will be great to give continuity to swimming throughout the year. After ten years of very modest Inter-House academic competitions, this area flourished when Marcela Federico took responsibility for organizing and running these competitions, making them very significant indeed. Most of the Prep took part in all of these events, performing in Math, Spanish, English, Arts, Music and General Knowledge quiz. We thank Marcela for her very hard and fruitful work. The Prep Community is grateful to the Room Mothers for coordinating the groups they were responsible for. A lot of quiet support is done by them to make routines and special days run smoothly. Thank you very much to this year´s Room Mothers for your dedication and kindness. Our Three Way Conferences change slightly from one year to the next in order to make better use of technological tools without losing the value of having the children reflect on their performances, and report to parents face to face with confidence, in order to set goals that can help them move forward in every aspect. Because of this practice in the Prep, Parent-Teacher meetings have changed in the College. Students coming from here are so used to being part of the discussions with their teachers and parents; they have joined the adults and are part of these meetings there too.

A lot of time is taken up changing, showering and putting clothes away in the lower grades. We think that these are skills that children can learn more quickly when they are a little older. In 2019, our first graders will have a uniform change. They will not shower at school and they will wear Physical Education outfits all day. This will allow them to have much more time for their class and recreational activities. A group of Prep mothers have been very helpful working in our Service Learning Programme. Every Wednesday they gave time to help and guide students, as well as assist in all the Community Service work together with María José Barreiro. They have made a difference to many children in need and also opened the minds of the students they have worked with. Miss Carolina and Miss Ana Paula are back in full action after their maternity leaves and Miss Loly will be here in February but our substitute teachers seem to stay with us forever. You may have noticed that Miss Kelly, Miss Michelle and Dulce, our violin teacher, have taken their turn to add members to their families and will have their maternity leaves as from February. Good luck to them and welcome once more to Ingrid and Mariela. They have done a great job for us so far and will continue to do so in the future. I love it when a new teacher joins our team. They bring fresh air, new ideas and ways of doing things that we hadn´t thought about, but there is also a lot of value in those that have been with us for years and have grown to work together and love this wonderful school. These are the ones that keep worth-while traditions going. This year we say good-bye to Miss Telma. After teaching some lessons in 5th and 6th grade to help out with the preparation for PET exams for many years, she retires and plans to do a lot of travelling in times of the year that were not possible when she was working. Being a College teacher too, it was good to have her here so that when our children moved to the College there was another familiar face to receive them. Thank you very much for your help and dedication. Telma will be replaced in both College and Prep by Miss Bárbara, so a warm welcome to her. Twenty four years ago a young lady was employed by Mrs. Hall who was our Headmistress then and now a school grandparent. Her sharp eye detected the talent in Miss Karina who played a valuable part in the growth and success of the Prep School during all these years. She taught children of different ages and kept up a high standard of dedication and efficiency, guaranteeing the academic and pastoral progress of the students that were lucky to have her as a teacher. She always believed in herself and became a Master Coach as a parallel activity to teaching at school. She even named herself “Coordinator of Coordinators”, an unofficial post that won´t be covered when she leaves.
After a career as a teacher here in our team she retires, still as a young lady, to pursue projects that will keep her busy and inspired. Miss Karina, let us give you a clap in gratitude for your years of service and dedication. On weekends I spend quite a lot of time planning for the following few days and I think about what we can do to make this a better environment for children to grow up in. To assist me with this, every so often I read through these few words which help me when dealing with children: •• Answer, don´t inform. •• Protect, don´t cover up for them. •• Help, don´t replace. •• Shelter, don´t cover. •• Love, don´t worship. •• Accompany, don´t carry. •• Show them the danger, don´t frighten them. •• Include, don´t isolate. •• Encourage their wishes, don´t discard them •• Don´t expect them to be the best, ask them to be good and GIVE THEM YOUR EXAMPLE. •• Don´t talk to them about love, surround them with love. •• Don´t send them to study, prepare a working environment. •• Don´t build them a castle, live naturally. •• Don´t teach them to be, you be how you want them to be. •• Don´t dedicate your life to them, everyone must have a life. •• Remember your child doesn´t listen to you, HE WATCHES YOU. •• And, finally, when the canary´s cage breaks, don´t buy another… Teach them to live without doors. I was walking back from the Chapel the other day with some Prep School parents when we met with a group of our students. The parents commented on how respectful the children were. It was a good opportunity to tell them that this is a consequence of having all our teachers doing their part of the job, insisting on manners and respect in order to continue the work done at home by the families. I am the lucky one because together with Mabel we have a first class team of colleagues that ensure a great environment for the growth and development of children. Thank you to each member of our Prep School Staff, thank you all for trusting us with your children, and congratulations on a successful year. Here ends my report on the Prep School´s 2018 academic year and, like on other occasions, I close it with an Old Irish Blessing which is very significant. (A Blessing from St. Patrick) May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, May the rains fall soft upon your fields, And, until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand. Thank you very much.

Organization, experimentation, collaboration:
A welcoming classroom environment is the most important ingredient to the success of the students.
Weekly Science lectures and experiments aid in the enrichment of the program and help prepare students for their Science classes next year in college using the same program called Activate.
Collaborating to produce one final product is greatly encouraged with the sixth graders. They work together to combine all of the PYP themes taught to date and create their very own country which is to embody all they have learnt about global citizenship and worldly values.
Novel study is an important part of the learning process in class. It is a chance to spark class conversations tied to PYP themes and practice the important skill of reading aloud of course.
Students are given the opportunity to not only study shapes and their characteristics through textbooks but they are able to build shapes using tactile mathematic skills. 4 2 _ ST G E O R G E ’ S COLLE GE Q U ILM ES

Students are given the opportunity to experiment and use hands-on methods apply the scientific knowledge related to them.
Working in groups offers students the chance to learn how to cooperate.
Organizational skills are very much promoted in class to ensure students are working efficiently, and to their full potential. They are made to understand that if their working space is untidy, they will likely be unable to perform to the best of their abilities.

Head of Kindergarten´s Report St George´s Kindergarten celebrated the 30th anniversary! St George´s Kindergarten is a very special place. It is beautiful, safe, comfortable and provides little Georgians with a loving and stimulating environment. It´s special because it stays in the heart of the children and families who are and were able to enjoy this experience during their childrens´ first shool years. It is a place one cherishes and never forgets in life. This year we celebrated our first 30 th anniversary. Imagine, all these years singing, painting, playing, discovering, having fun, learning, making friends, learning how to speak in English, swimming, climbing, riding bikes, going to workshops. Let´s think about all the children who enjoyed all these activities, some are already grown ups!!! We welcomed 2018 decorating the gallery walls with beautiful colourful pictures made by the children and framed a lovely Mosaiquism in the Park area. Our Kinder looked specially beautiful and colourful! The settle in period was great, children were able to feel confident and say bye bye to their parents very soon. Early April we had our Family Day, every child and their families enjoyed joining in traditional games, singing songs, sharing the delicious asado, coffee and cakes. We had a special Story Campaign, with two book weeks. Children enjoyed lovely and interesting stories told by different teachers, Prep students, parents and grandparents. Three very special guests joined us Miss Janine, former Head of Kindergarten, Miss Tini, former librarian and Mrs. Toulicot, a mother who had her 5 children coming to Kindergarten also visited Kinder to tell stories to the children. Our yearly Art Project was based on productions that reflected all the many different activities and moments children enjoy in Kindergarten. We had a joint Art Exhibition together with all the groups in our SUM. Parents produced lovely banners that decorated our Gallery to continue with the celebration. To end with this week we got together to sing “Happy Birthday”, blow a candle and share a colourful and delicious cake.

Exchange Students
When listing the positive experiences offered by St George’s College, the International Exchange might be one of the best one for these students who decided to spend about one month attending classes at a school in an English speaking country. The trip does not only allow the students to practise their second language, but also triggers some of the most amazing lifelong friendships between teenagers with different cultures and even, many times, gives their families the opportunity to open themselves to a new adventure. We are very proud of our school’s Ambassadors.

Trips & Tours
E
n el Academic History & Geography Tour 2018 los alumnos de ES4 y ES5 visitaron junto a 5 docentes del Departamento de Humanidades sitios históricos de dos países de Europa: Alemania y Polonia. El viaje comenzó en la capital alemana, Berlín, en donde los alumnos tuvieron la oportunidad de apreciar la historia reciente tanto en los diferentes museos que visitaron, así como también en sus calles, las cuales son un vívido recuerdo del pasado doloroso de la última mitad del siglo XX. Luego de ahondar en la historia de la 2da Guerra Mundial y sus consecuencias, los alumnos pudieron apreciar la historia de la Guerra Fría de Berlín, dividida y separada por el muro de Berlín durante 28 años. Ya desde el inicio del viaje, los alumnos experimentaron las tradiciones propias de cada ciudad, probando sus platos típícos. La llegada a Cracovia estuvo marcada por la visita a la Fábrica de Schindler y por el inicio del recorrido de dos campos de concentración, Auschwitz y Treblinka, en donde los alumnos pudieron transitar por uno de los momentos más dolorosos de la historia de Europa del siglo XX. Como parte del tour, los alumnos realizaron la visita a la ciudad de Zakopane donde hicieron trekking de montaña. Para finalizar el tour los alumnos visitaron Varsovia, capital de Polonia, dando un cierre a este increíble viaje, repleto de visitas a museos históricos y experiencias únicas.

Creative Arts
A
nother year and another set of challenges for the students and staff of the Creative Arts department. Every year we have a calendar full of quality events to prepare for, but for me the most fulfilling part of the job is to see all the hard work going on in the classrooms, corridors and gardens. Students are constantly working and rehearsing together to give the best of themselves in every presentation, concert and performance. St George’s is a very busy school seven days a week and students have many activities to occupy their time. Despite their busy schedule, they are always willing to get involved in the wide range of artistic activities offered by the department and do their very best in each and every one. Again, as every year, I must thank all the Creative Arts teachers in all sections of the school who work so hard to make sure our standards keep improving. One of the main objectives of the music department is to develop choral singing in the College and Prep school. This year the College choir performed at the Holy Cross choir festival and performed notably in all the important events in the school calendar. The Prep choir performed in choir festivals at St George´s North, Quilmes University and Barker College and a highlight of the year was the joint choir performance at the remembrance service at the Chacarita Cemetery in November. This was a historic occasion that celebrated opening the wall between British and German cemeteries and it was a privilege to have been involved. I would like to say a big thank you to Damian Moragas (College) and Laura D’Arcangelo (Prep School) for their hard work.
Miss Cecilia Gil had her most successful year to date in the dance department. After the success of her Dance Showcases in recent years, we decided to take a group of dedicated student dancers to Toronto, Canada to spend 10 days taking dance classes from the best teachers and dance studios in the country. The tour group visited Lakefield School and Havergal College, sharing classes with the Canadian students and spending time together. This was a wonderful trip for the department and an unforgettable experience for those students who attended. Sebastian Kalhat and his fantastic drama department entertained us all again with two high quality performances and a superb inter house competition. This year the Senior play was an impeccable performance of ‘Antigona’ and again it seems hard to imagine that this performance can be bettered. Students excelled in every aspect of this performance and I congratulate everyone involved. The Junior play this year ‘Las Cuatro Estaciones’, performed by ES1 and ES2 students, was an acerbic comedy, created by the students themselves. As we have come to expect, the performances, costume and stage design was first class and between the laughs there was a serious message about the way the planet is being treated. Congratulations again to the drama department!

Our Art department students worked very hard to produce challenging works of Art in a variety of styles and methods. If you were fortunate enough to have seen the IB Art exhibition in the Centenary Theatre on Founders day, you will have seen some incredible work. Daniel Gluzmann and Gabriela Rachmil really know how to inspire students into creating imaginative and technically advanced art work. I would strongly recommend anyone visiting the school to spend a moment visiting the Art rooms which are situated on the first floor above the Lecture Theatre. The end of the school year is always a busy time with popular events such as Woodstock, the Carol Service and the Inter House competitions. Students prepared tirelessly for all these events and it is wonderful to see an activity take over the school for a day with groups preparing anywhere and everywhere around the site. The Prep school also had another busy and successful year. I have already mentioned the excellent work of Laura D’ Arcangelo with the Prep Choir and we had more success stories this year! For the first time the St George’s orchestra played the national anthem in whole school assemblies and this is a remarkable achievement and the result of a lot of hard work! I would like to congratulate all the Prep Instrument teachers on this wonderful success. Mariana Alouie excelled again as director of the Junior Prep production ‘Peter Pan’. The students and the theatre looked fantastic and there wasn’t a spare seat anywhere to be found. Congratulations on an excellent play! Sonia Bertorello returned to write and direct ‘SOS’ (Save our songs) for the Senior Prep Play and a packed Theatre enjoyed an uplifting show of singing and dancing of the highest quality. Each year the Prep shows get bigger and better and both directors are going to have a big job on their hands next year to keep improving the spectacle! Congratulations to all the students who took part in ‘Joseph’, the musical. It was a wonderful production expertly directed by Mr Alan Mellor. Thank you to all the cast for their hard work and dedication. Last but not least, a big thank you to our staff and students in the Kinder section for their production of ‘Let’s Play a Game Again’. The show was a trip down memory lane for all the adults present, as songs and games from yesteryear were presented so beautifully by students from the Kindergarten. It was a very uplifting show with fabulous costumes and scenery. 2018 has been another successful year for Creative Arts. James Thomas Head of Creative Arts

El 23 de noviembre, la Camerata Bariloche realizó un concierto inolvidable cuyo magnífico escenario fue la capilla del colegio construida en 1913. Los virtuosos músicos deleitaron a la audiencia con composiciones de Bach, Vivaldi y Mozart. Más de 100 personas disfrutaron de la presentación, que tuvo también como fin recaudar fondos para el New Boarding House.
Ciclo de charlas Durante 2018 se realizaron en ambas sedes diferentes charlas a cargo de expertos profesionales. En North se brindaron las conferencias Padres que sostienen hijos que se afianzan, a cargo de Matías Muñoz, y Uso responsable de Internet y Redes Sociales, dictada por la Lic. M. Elena Prenafita de Fundación Padres. En Quilmes, por su parte, se dictó la charla Mindfulness y Paternidad, cuya oradora fue la Lic. Paula Tripicchio.
Asados Nuestros Asados de Camadas llevados a cabo en ambas sedes, nos permiten rememorar viejos tiempos, compartir novedades y estrechar vínculos con nuestro Alumni, en pos de seguir celebrando la amistad. Las Camadas que pasaron por Quilmes fueron: 1998 (20 años de egresados), 1993 (25 años de egresados), 1988 (30 años de egresados), 1987 (31 años de egresados), 1968 (50 años de egresados), 1958 (60 años de egresados). Por su lado, en North, durante el Asado abierto a todos los Old Georgians de esa sede, las camadas 2008 y 1998 celebraron sus 10 y 20 años de egresados respectivamente.
Climatización y cerramiento de la pileta En diciembre, con mucha alegría, se concluyó nuestra Campaña Anual, la Climatización y Cerramiento de la Pileta. La inauguración oficial se realizó en Speech Day y asistieron Miembros del Board of Governors y donantes. Durante 2018 se llevaron a cabo diversas acciones para recaudar fondos que tuvieron una muy buena recepción. Fue así que realizamos una entretenida Cata de Té y una elegante Cata de Vino a cargo de expertos. También, durante Steeplechase, se vendieron remeras donadas por una de nuestras familias.
Torneos de Golf Martindale y Ranelagh Tal como todos los años, se realizaron los torneos de Golf de Ranelagh y Martindale, con la participación de más de 100 jugadores en cada uno. Alumnos, padres, staff, ex-alumnos e invitados disfrutaron de jornadas a pleno sol y deporte seguido de un cocktail y entrega de premios.
Promociones A lo largo del año y con el fin de llevar novedades e información sobre Fundraising y Promotions, se realizaron diversos viajes tanto al interior del país como al extranjero, en los que se invitó a los Old Georgians del lugar y a sus amigos. Algunos de los destinos elegidos fueron Asunción (Paraguay), Concordia, Mar del Plata y General Villegas.

Headmaster´s Introduction Mr Proctor´s words during the Speech Day Celebrations Guest of honour, Mr Martín Migoya, Mr Chairman, Honoured Guests and Colleagues, Members of the Board of Governors, Executive Committee, General Manager, Teachers, Families, Students. One percent. What does that number mean to you? Not much probably. Well what if I tell you that a few years ago, around the time many of our secondary students were being born the England rugby team were approaching a World Cup in Australia. Their coach, Sir Clive Woodward was trying to work out how his team were going to be able to beat the mighty All Blacks and Springboks who were at least 10 to 15 % stronger, faster and more skilled that his players. Around the same time the British cycling director, Sir Dave Brailsford, was also wondering how his cycling team were ever going to compete in the Olympic Games or even in the Tour de France, with other teams being some distance more talented. Also around the same time the British based Formula 1 teams Mclaren and Mercedes-Benz were trying to figure out how they were ever going to beat the might and speed of Ferrari and Red Bull. The leaders of these sporting teams knew that they didn’t have the definitive answer to instant success, a lightning bolt moment of inspiration and genius is afforded to very few. They each however shared the belief that by making small improvements in a number of different areas then the distance between them and their opponents could be caught up. They called it the theory of Marginal Gains. Put in everyday language success was to be found not by waiting for genious or complete transformation but by doing a hundred things, one percent better. They changed diets, sportswear, sleeping patterns, training schedules, tyres amongst many others and improved them all by one percent. Putting all these one percent improvements together, what happened? England won the Rugby World Cup, the British cycling team win gold after gold medal at each Olympics and have won the Tour de France for 6 of the last 7 years. And Lewis Hamilton has now won 4 of the last F1 seasons. Trying to do everything that we do, just a little bit better, and continuing to do it at that level. Can that recipe for success be used at St George’s College North? Well let’s look back at the year and see where we can find some of those 1% improvements: This year we collaboratively built our new school project: The Future of Learning at St George’s College North. We now have a very clear direction of where the school is heading. And we have four key drivers to power us to our goals. 1%
Mr Oliver Proctor Headmaster Driver 1: Student Centred Learning
This year we welcomed a collection of exceptional new teachers and staff members to our team, all role models of a student centred and 21st century approach to learning. We welcomed ex head girl Mercedes del Rincon +1% and experienced British educator Jessica Lawson +1% to our Science department, Bruno Martellota +1% as our first specialist drama teacher and play director, Judi Zoudi +1% as our first native Mandarin teacher, Carlos Mich +1% as our IB Economics teacher, Norma Faitini +1% as our IB Environmental Studies teacher, ex Quilmes head girl Mary Campbell +1% to our Languages department, Noelia Zago +1% to help lead us academically into the future, and Gaby Barbeito +1% to transform our community relations. We also say farewell to Miles Johnson, Will Beckingsdale and Jennifer Vernshoor today as they head off to new chapters in their careers. We thank them for their commitment to English, to cricket, to the International Award and to IT and all the positive learning experiences they have given our students. As Dr Follet has already said we wish a happy retirement to Paulina Meza Llano, a much loved and dedicated member of our team and someone who will be sorely missed. We wish you well Paulina. And to Lally Barr, retiring as General Manager, but fortunately staying in the team to keep giving her constant support and guidance. Thank you Lally. In the Arts this year we set out on our journey to create original, multi-disciplinary, theatre productions, built by collaborating teams of student actors, dancers, musicians, film-makers and visual artists. In June Annette Lauzao led a magnificent multi-age cast in their production of “A Million Dreams” and in November we were given a glimpse of next year’s piece “The Fall”. +1% We introduced two new IB Diploma courses based on the needs and interests of our students. Spanish Language and Literature which has been so popular that almost everyone has chosen to study it next year! +1% IB Theatre opened with a first cohort of 11 young men who had never step foot on a stage and who have already presented a night of their own original pieces. +1%

DAY
CAS this year focussed on metaphorically breaking through the wall which separates us from the town we are situated in. Students led a number of interactive learning projects with the children of Escuela 33 in Los Polvorines, the highlight being when 47 of these children came for a day of activities and interaction with our students on our beautiful green campus. The smiles will live long in everyone’s memory. +1% CAS students fundraised $56,000 and were able to build two houses alongside the families that were to live in them in collaboration with the NGO Techo para mi pais. +1% Our S2 students worked all year on an interdisciplinary TED Ed talks project. Eloquent, dynamic and thought-provoking presentations were given, in English to the community, filmed and uploaded to the official TED Ed website. +1%
we didn’t just give them a great game of rugby, we engaged them in two days of cultural interaction within our homes and classrooms. +1% We built the Learner’s Space. A fresh environment in which to practice our new student centred learning paradigm. +1% We committed to approach technology as a positive disruptor to the learning process. To do so state of the art wifi technology was installed. +1% We purchased Managebac, the very best digital planning, assessment and reporting platform for the IB. So far students have used it to enhance their CAS and Extended Essay performance. +1% Driver 2: Student Centred Leadership
To help students make more informed decisions the first IB Fair was held. Students rotated around interactive, informative meetings given by teachers sharing key information. Making the right individual choice and not following the crowd is the first step to a student centred approach to learning. +1% To increase our students chances of being able to study at universities abroad after their IB we have joined the International University Alliance and welcomed them here this year to speak with our students. +1% We also for the first time, and as the only school in Argentina, put forward 10 students for the Stanford Pre Collegiate Studies Programme, all of whom excelled. +1% We welcomed two international touring schools to play rugby but on both occasions we took the opportunity to deepen the learning process. Led by our headboy and captain Pedro Mastroizi, for St George’s Canada’s visit we prepared a carnival atmosphere, getting the whole school out to cheer the teams on. The aim: to build our core values of Belonging, Community and Pride. +1% Then for Haileybury’s visit from the UK
8 2 _ ST G E O R G E ’ S COLLEGE NO RTH
This year 54 members of our teaching staff underwent personalised professional development training in response to meeting the needs of our students, with a total of 110 courses taken. +1% I want to take a moment at this point in the report to thank our teaching staff for their dedication, hard work and commitment, which they show each and every day. Students, let’s give them a warm round of applause. Our Model United Nations programme had three students chosen to chair committees at EMUN, Margarita Oribe, Juan Martín Munuce Coates and Josefina Argagni and two, Fiorella Taraborelli y Sofía Ghilotti, to represent Argentina on the upcoming conference in The Hague. We also won the competition to host the 2020 and 2021 EMUN conferences which will bring over 600 delegates and visitors to our campus. +1% Our Maths Olympics Team this year enjoyed great success with Tomás Laje reaching the Provincial finals in Mar del Plata and Agustín Sorondo, Nicole Stewart, Juan Cruz Assad y Matías Morey reaching the Regional finals. Tomás de Felice
became something of folklore by not only qualifying for the National Finals but also scoring an incredible 800/800 points in the SAT maths exam applying to MIT University in the United States. We wish him all the best. +1% Driver 3: Student Centred Wellbeing
The new Wellbeing Programme has been in full development this year, seeking to give every student a place of belonging in our school. The Restorative Justice Programme has accompanied students on their journey towards self-regulation of their emotions and actions. +1% The Wellbeing Experiences have given cross peer-group learning experiences building relationships around collaborative projects, such as a vegetable garden, a mime group, and a computer programming team. +1% The student and family Wellbeing Day exploring “the culture of fun and decision making” had students and families exploring emotional and social issues relevant to them in practical, reflective and symbolic workshops. +1% Driver 4: Student Centred School Development
We committed to make our communication fit for purpose in the 21st century: visual, responsive, up-to-date and above all with an improved user experience. Everyone’s email account now has their school photo attached +1% ; The “Weekly News” bulletin keeps all staff well informed of school activity +1% ; The “Daily News” is delivered to all students and staff each morning and includes key information as well as a daily wellbeing activity +1% ; Each section of school now has a customised institutional digital communication template +1% ; Events are now always promoted on a digital flyer with homogeneous styling +1% ; Finally we have exponentially grown our social media output and our Facebook campaign has increased its reach by 2000% this year to 150,000 people +1% Over 100 parents enjoyed the new interactive Welcome Mornings for families where they were able to learn about and come closer to the programmes their children were about to embark on. +1% We started to make the school more visually attractive, relevant and inspiring. The Arts Department ran an inter-house mural competition painting the walls of the car park, an activity which will continue each year. +1% We displayed our core IB Learner Profile attributes on our entrance doors to help our learners remember the real reason they are coming here each day. +1% The PE Department have been working with a UK based sports consultant all year and have as a result redesigned their philosophy, their objectives and their working structure to align with our new School Project. From 2019 inclusion, physical literacy and wellness will be at the core of their work to drive high sporting performance. Their team structure will open up to embrace their interests, expertise and the needs of our students with new roles for Learning and Development, Psychomotricity, PE Support and Multi-Sport alongside the traditional pillars of rugby and hockey. +1%

Our IGCSE results were very positive. Of the 221 exams taken, students attained a passing A*-C grade in 73% of them. Our IB results were likewise very positive. The 19 students that obtained the full IB Diploma did so at an average points score of 28 which sits at the world average. Considering our students sit these courses in their second language this is all the more impressive. To maintain international examination improvement Secondary School has spent this year designing a very exciting new project to launch in 2019. Students will have 40 rather than 35 periods in the week opening up numerous benefits: more double periods, more learning time for the IB and IGCSE courses, more PE and Maths time, hours of Drama, Music and Visual Art, Mandarin from S1-S6, more IGCSE options and preIB courses to better prepare students over 4 years for their Diploma, There will be more CAS time and S6 will have personal study periods for extended essay and internal assessment preparation. Also: an experiment focused General Sciences programme for S1&2. Wellbeing Experience hours for everyone. A new programme called SEL - Socioemotional Learning, combining the best of the Argentine and International PSE curriculums, delivered by a specialised team. Tutors will have one-to-one time with their tutees in bi-weekly personalised interviews. A brand new hour called The Georgian Project where students will get involved in outward facing activities such as a Secondary Choir, which will travel the country, Model United Nations, Maths and Chemistry Olympics, a Dance 8 4 _ ST G E O R G E ’ S COLLEGE NO RTH
Team, a TED Talk Team. The aim of this plan is to deepen the learning, give the student centred paradigm the best chance to flourish, and ultimately to further improve the national and international grades of our students. +1% Finally I want to publicly thank the students and families of the current S6 for organising their leavers trip for after the IB exams. This enabled them to prepare for their final exams without the distraction of a holiday in the middle and were able to celebrate the end of a challenging process with dignity. We look forward to seeing their results in January as we are confident their decision will have not only have improved their enjoyment of the last stage of the IB process but also improved their final scores. +1% If we add these marginal gains together, and my maths are correct, we should today be 40% stronger as a school than where we were a year ago. That’s a huge leap forward and it has taken a lot of work. The key thing now is to consolidate these gains. The All Blacks and Ferrari cars are in sight but it will be our stamina and our ability to keep learning that will see us overtake them. Have a wonderful summer everyone, recharge your batteries and see you for another exciting year of learning in February.

DAY
Head of Junior School Speech Muy buenos días a todos. Doctor Francisco Follett, Mr. Oliver Proctor, Mr Alejandro Flores, Mr Ian Tate, Members of the Board of Governors, Familias, Docentes y alumnos. Chicos, Este año recibieron a Anacleto, realizaron compras en el supermercado, fueron de paseo en bicicleta, celebraron el Día de la Tradición con sus familias, visitaron museos, fueron de campamento, hicieron experimentos en el laboratorio, cantaron, actuaron, programaron, se presentaron en la Muestra Distrital sobre Medio Ambiente, fueron excelentes anfitriones en el Choir festival, participaron en Olimpiadas, viajaron a Córdoba y a Mar del Plata; solamente para mencionar algunas de las variadas y numerosas actividades y propuestas que realizaron dentro y fuera del aula. Benjamin Franklin, uno de los padres de los Estados Unidos dijo: “Dime y olvidaré. Enséñame y recordaré. Involúcrame y aprenderé”. En las experiencias que mencionamos estuvieron involucrados y por ello -como dice Franklin- aprendieron. Para nosotros, sus maestros, es muy importante que aprendan con alegría y disfrutando de lo que hacen. Las sonrisas y el entusiasmo de ustedes son un regalo y un reconocimiento a nuestra tarea. ¡Muchas gracias chicos! Una merecida mención especial para la Head Girl Clementina Storni y el Head Boy Simón Díaz Alberdi, al igual que para los House Captains que trabajaron durante todo el año con Matías Milano (Haxell House), Julia Argibay Molina (Haxell House); compromiso, dedicación y espíritu de equipo: Rocío Aguzín (Jackson House), Ignacio Trivelloni (Jackson House). Ustedes fueron verdaderos ejemplos para el resto de sus compañeros: Lucca Torlasco (Roberts House), Fionna De Cesare Sastre (Roberts House). ¡Felicitaciones! ¡Estamos muy agradecidos por toda la colaboración! Malena Reilly Zeni (Stevenson House), Tobías Nakazato (Stevenson House). St George’s College North is “A Student Centred School” and the PYP provides a framework for our Junior School’s strategies and methodologies to focus on students as protagonists of their own learning. Our actions are based on values which together with classroom resources, specific training for teachers and School infrastructure enable us to put into practice avant-garde pedagogical mechanisms and strategies. In order to develop a Student Centred Education, we need creativity and innovation to offer new opportunities both in the academic field (Languages, PE, STEM subjects and Creative Arts)

and Wellbeing area (House system, Learning Centre, CAS and Education for Sustainability). After the 2017 PYP revision carried out by representatives from IB, we move forward to: Integration of all essential elements in the Units of Inquiry. We focused mainly on integrating action. As an example, while planning their PYP Exhibition, each team of Year 6 students presented their own action plan for their lines of inquiry. One of those actions is Fundraising for our future Art Centre. Today, thanks to their work, we are $4000 closer to making it real. We optimized the use of digital resources through SeeSaw as a pedagogical tool in the classroom and as a communication platform which allows students to share their portfolio with their families. We began to use ManageBac, an online platform to plan collaboratively under the PYP requirements. Wellbeing School is a place where families and teachers coordinate actions together to the benefit of the children’s education. Conferences such as “Padres que sostienen hijos que se afianzan” led by Matías Muñoz, aim at bringing together teachers and families to agree on a common language. At the same time we cultivate our care and empathy for others, we have the possibility of improving our ability to resolve conflicts and to understand that each one of us may have different points of view. This year, we added “Festejos Solidarios” to our CAS projects on a monthly basis, Junior School and Secondary students organizing together a birthday celebration for the children who attend Apoyo Escolar at Parroquia María Auxiliadora. We are very grateful to families for their cooperation and in particular to Miss Cecilia Stagnaro and Miss Sonia Caselli for coordinating these activities across the Junior School. Sustainable Education fosters the essential values of respect and care for the environment. In 2018 we started with the Vegetable Garden Project -an experience by which students learnt how to plant, take care of and harvest vegetables-. Our Green Patrol displayed their productions at the District Exhibition and show their skills as good Communicators -one of the attributes of the IB Learner Profile-.
Thank you, Ms Marina Ulloa, for the love and dedication you put into this project. Our students’ full development and their social-emotional wellbeing is a priority. The Learning Centre team, together with Dr Juan Pablo Zorza, worked on a Personalized Education Plan (PEP). Our aim is to develop an action plan for each student, according to his or her own needs, based on the student’s records throughout school. We began, this year, with Kinder and Year 1 and will continue progressively in 2019. Thank you to the Learning Centre Team for facing new challenges. Houses are excellent opportunities to cultivate friendship and companionship among students from different year groups. In 2018 we inducted Kinder students into our House system and celebrated our first interhouse with our little ones. “Observa a la naturaleza en profundidad, y luego comprenderás mejor lo que te rodea.” Albert Einstein The STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) help to develop skills which are common to other areas of knowledge. We continued to strengthen our work in Maths, Science and IT. In Kinder and First Cycle we use concrete materials to help represent the abstract steps that lead to coding. For this reason, we purchased 10 robots as pedagogical resources.
At the same time, we added two Smartboards in Kinder. We encourage our students to participate in academic Olympiads, such as Olimpíada de Matemática Charito, OMA-Ñandú and Junior Science, as these are great opportunities to take on new challenges, get to know different environments and contributes to deeper learning. For this reason, all students in Year 6 took part in the inter-schools classification stage of the National Junior Science Olympiads. Thank you Ms Gabriela Chekherdemian, Ms Silvina Kiryk and Ms Alicia Sastre for pushing this project forward. Congratulations to the students who were involved in the Maths Olympiads Workshop and thank you Miss Paola Torrisi for training them. Arts are a hallmark of St George’s College North, an area where we make a difference we are proud of. Children find in the Visual Arts, Drama and Music a space to develop their creative potential and express themselves. The Choir Festival, Plays and Art Exhibitions are only some examples of all the thorough work we did during the year. This year we brought Visual Arts to Kinder, as a specific curricular field, to build on the continuity with Primary. We also added the contributions of the Arts to our School events in order to enrich the aesthetic aspects of our presentations. We want to thank Ms Agustina Caballero, Ms Mary Jaroslavsky, Ms Susan Perkins, Ms Delfina Perri and Ms Paulina Vicino for inspiring the creative power in children. In Kinder, with the purpose of stimulating in infants an awareness

of their own bodies and their motion capabilities, as well as acquiring different skills, we opened an adequate place for sensory motor activities. At the same time, the PE team received specific training in the area. Swimming is growing in the PE curriculum for Junior School. This year, Second Cycle joined and we have plans for growing this activity in 2019. The First Triathlon was organized as a closing activity for Year 6. The competition took place in teams of 3 students each and included athletics, swimming and cycling. Congratulations to our PE Department for teaching with such a broad and comprehensive perspective. HHRR Continuous teacher training and upgrading is fundamental to implement the PYP successfully and being “A Student Centred School”. Teacher trainings were distributed amongst the strategic areas of Wellbeing, PYP, pedagogical innovation and pedagogy of specific disciplinary fields with the involvement of all the Junior School Staff. We are also very proud of Ms Mary Jaroslavsky, Ms Florencia Olivieri and Mr John Cavernelis who were selected by ESSARP to share their good practices with an audience of teachers at the ESSARP Conference 2018 One School; Two Sites The interaction with Quilmes makes us stronger as a community and allows us to get organized efficiently as a single institution. We both benefit from sharing our own experiences with each other and capitalize of what we learnt in each site. During the current year, we organized two different PYP training courses. In Quilmes, our teachers from Kinder and First Cycle worked on “Play-based Learning”, while in the North we hosted a workshop on “Bilingual and Multilingual teaching and learning”. After the 2017 PYP revision, both Quilmes and North together updated the Special Needs and Language policies. In the context of the preparation for the PYP Exhibition, SGN Year 6 worked with their peers from Quilmes and, after spending a night at the Boarding House, the closing activity brought them together in an interhouse which took place in a friendly atmosphere.
Many thanks to Ms María Elena Ezcurra, Ms Sofía Magnasco and Ms Magalí Tardieu for accompanying our students in such a significant experience. En esta Ceremonia despedimos a Ms Jennifer Verschoor y a Mr Joe Paget quienes el año próximo emprenderán nuevos rumbos. Nuestro agradecimiento por todo sus aportes y les deseamos lo mejor en su desarrollo profesional y personal. Today marks the start of Ms Julia Grandi’s retirement. Ms Julia is a role model for all of us; she is always willing to help, with a smile and good humor. We will miss you, Julia! Our best wishes on your new projects! This is the last Speech Day in the North for Mrs Lally Barr in her role as General Manager of St George’s College. Lally is an example of commitment and dedication to work. Our appreciation to you for coming along with us, offering the right words at the proper time. The School Year is intense and with a diverse and busy agenda of activities. To make them happen, we rely on the Room Parents, the DCO, Mr José Rojo (IT) and the administration, maintenance and cleaning staff. Many thanks to you all! Finally, our deep gratitude to the whole Teaching Staff -the driving force behind everything we do- who work professionally, with dedication and love to help each student develop to his or her full potential. Personally, I would like to thank the Junior School Leadership Team and secretaries for their constant support. This report has been a small extract, a sort of 360° tour, of the many things we have worked on towards becoming a true “Student-Centred School”. It is now time for a well-deserved rest, to take time to reflect on what we liked most in 2018, to look at those things we did well and those we can still improve on, in order to keep on learning. Enjoy your holidays! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! St George´s College

ste largo viaje al que los voy a invitar a recorrer tendrá muchas paradas pero de todas formas nunca se desabrochen los cinturones por que será de alta intensidad! Como es ya tradicional en nuestro currículum de Educación Física, hemos participado en numerosos encuentros con otros colegios y también hemos realizado muchas otras actividades internas (torneos internos, interhouses, etc) que buscan afianzar valores y a la vez que sea un momento distendido pero...comencemos el viaje.
ADE Norte-Sur La asociación de colegios a la cual pertenecemos anualmente realiza un encuentro entre los colegios de la zona Norte y Sur, este año se realizó en el St Matthew’s. Los alumnos de que formaron parte fueron: S1 Marco Trivelloni y Abril Goldemberg y S5/6 Justina Strauss Mackenzie, Carolina Boullon, Bautista Follett y Tomás Peña. Todos ellos dejaron a nuestro colegio en lo más alto gracias al compromiso y esfuerzo demostrado en el encuentro. Felicitaciones.
Pumas 7’s En el mes de Febrero recibimos en nuestro colegio al seleccionado Argentino “Los Pumas” en su modalidad de 7 a side. Los mismos realizaron un entrenamiento en nuestra cancha 1 y finalizaron jugando con nuestros alumnos. Agradecemos a Alexis Kovacic (egresado 2010), quien es el manager del team, por hacer posible esta experiencia única. Natación Aprovechando el calor de Marzo nos metimos a la pileta por primera vez con 2do ciclo de Junior School completando así la práctica para alumnos de 4 a 12 años. Podemos confirmar que esta actividad año tras año va aumentando en intensidad y es gracias a la excelente predisposición de nuestros pequeños nadadores. Hablando de buena predisposición, a fin de año, se realizó el primer Triathlon para EP6. La actividad fue organizada por sus profesores pero toda la confección y planificación de los equipos fue hecho por los propios alumnos. En un marco hermoso nuestros alumnos/as demostraron que pueden correr, nadar y pedalear respetándose y ayudándose mutuamente. Intercambios Internacionales Este año se presentó con mucha actividad internacional para nuestros alumnos/as especialmente los que formaron parte del seleccionado de St George´s College. En Marzo recibimos la visita de St George´s College, Canada, en Agosto Exeter College y Haileybury College y también participamos de un partido con Edinburgh College de Escocia. Como si esto fuera poco el seleccionado arriba mencionado realizó una gira a Chile participando del torneo 90° aniversario del colegio The Grange School. Podemos remarcar que en los casos donde nuestros alumnos tuvieron que alojar a los visitantes el trato fue excelente en todo momento especialmente cuando las actividades planeadas no fueron deportivas sino académicas y de integración (Haileybury).

JJOO at Parque Sarmiento
JJOO at Parque Olímpico
Juegos Olímpicos de la juventud Bs As Son pocas las oportunidades que uno tiene de ver JJOO en vivo y en directo, pero esta vez siendo en Buenos Aires no podíamos dejar pasar la oportunidad. El 11 de Octubre con alumnos de EP6, S1 y S5 concurrimos a Parque Sarmiento y Parque Olímpico para formar parte de la historia deportiva de nuestro país. Allí pudimos observar diferentes disciplinas y experimentar nuevos deportes en los espacios predeportivos ofrecidos pero por sobre todo pudimos sentir ese tan hermoso sentimiento de confraternidad y paz que transmite sólo el movimiento olímpico. Si bien podemos destacar que en los JJOO existen muchos deportes, el Atletismo es “la madre de todos los deportes” y justo en ese deporte aprovechamos mencionar los hechos y atletas destacados de este año. Luego de muchos años par-
ticipamos del torneo ADE para EP6 en el colegio Northlands y también lo hicimos con secundaria en el torneo ADE ESSARP realizado en SASS en ambos casos el rendimiento fue muy bueno. Podemos destacar en la temporada a Sol Carbonetti, Bautista del Río, Justina Strauss Mackenzie, Micaela Álvarez Molina quienes batieron récords en Salto en Largo, 400mts y 1200 mts respectivamente. A los tres últimos debemos sumar a Francisco Sied ya que fueron los 4 atletas que obtuvieron, gracias al excelente rendimiento, el premio Victor/rix Ludorum que se entrega en nuestros Athletics Sports Day.

dad de desarrollarse en una forma más integral y divertida. La actividad fue desarrollada por el profesor Mariano Cannellotto junto con los profesores de Educación Física y el saldo de este primer año fue sumamente positivo y muy alentador para el futuro. Kinder Sports Day Si bien hace muchos años que realizamos este evento, este fue especial e inolvidable. Por primera vez, desfilaron, jugaron y se divirtieron representando a su House. Houses que los acompañaran por los próximos años y a los cuales aprenderán a querer y apreciar minuto a minuto. El evento estuvo buenísimo y el final con las familias mucho mejor. Felicitaciones. Para finalizar debo hacer dos menciones especiales. La primera es para nuestros egresados de S6 camada 2018 por ser un ejemplo y demostrar, los muchos atributos que debe tener un deportista, pasión, corrección y compañerismo en todo momento. Segundo agradecer a los profesores de Educación Física que, gracias a su vocación y profesionalismo, hacen posible hacer realidad cualquier sueño. Pablo Scarso Head of PE

Trips & Tours SAI LI N G CO U RS E Where? Dario Fernandez Sailing School @ Marina Puerto Norte, Costanera Norte, Av. Rafael Obligado 4899, C.A.B.A. What? Thirty Secondary 3 students travelled as part of our Wellbeing Program to the Dario Fernandez Sailing School on the Costanera Norte for the five consecutive days of 3rd - 7th September. Greeted by calm winds and smooth waters on day one, perfect for beginner sailing sessions, by the the final Friday things had escalated and the weather gods then brought sunny, blustery conditions that our week’s training had prepared us for. We enjoyed the teamwork necessary to make a sailing boat work as well as plenty of trial and error. There was a shared pleasure taken in reconnecting with our outdoor environment and harnessing only the natural energy of the wind for our fuel. The week reminded us that the four walls of a conventional classroom certainly do not represent the boundaries of where our learning happens.

PE N Í N S U L A VALD É S El viaje de estudios a Península Valdés está orientado hacia la toma de conciencia sobre el impacto de la actividad humana en una reserva natural mundial y nos propone reflexionar sobre el cuidado de la naturaleza. A lo largo de nuestra actividad de exploración, esta extraordinaria reserva natural nos muestra toda la magia y el encanto de su ecosistema, que se revela grandioso y conmovedor a cada momento.
PR E FEC T S C AM P 2 019 Se trata de una actividad que involucra a Prefects de ambas sedes con el objetivo de establecer un sólido equipo de líderes para 2019. En esta oportunidad el entrenamiento tuvo lugar en el Delta de Escobar. Los 3 ejes trabajados durante el campamento fueron: 1. Integración de ambos grupos 2. Liderazgo y comunicación 3. Objetivos para 2019 El primer día se desarrollaron talleres de formación en Comunicación, Primeros Auxilios, Acción (Palestra y Tirolesa) y Canotaje (Técnica) para que el segundo día, los propios alumnos fuesen capaces de organizar y liderar a sus compañeros en cada una de estas actividades. Además, estuvieron construyendo balsas, para finalizar navegándolas por el canal. En el fogón y en una reunión específica para cada grupo se trazaron objetivos para 2019. Reflexión final (En el muelle). ¿Qué me llevo de esta experiencia? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

ste año, algunos conceptos claves del PEP, fueron el punto de partida de los proyectos de Artes visuales. Utilizándolos como hilo conductor, los alumnos crearon puentes y buscaron la inspiración en sus propias experiencias, en sus dudas, en sus miedos, en sus creencias. Aplicaron conocimientos específicos del área, disfrutaron y aprendieron del proceso, fueron audaces y asumieron riesgos creativos. Pintura, cerámica, escultura, fotografía, dibujo, técnicas digitales... Soportes convencionales y otros no tanto... habilidades y herramientas utilizadas para nuestro principal objetivo: que los alumnos expresen sus ideas, sus emociones y sus sensaciones. Qué sean observadores críticos y constructores de pensamientos, que busquen sus propias imágenes y las técnicas y estilos que más los representen. Que se animen a mirar desde otras perspectivas, a transformar realidades, a imaginar hasta lo que podría parecer imposible. Para el interhouse de arte, nos inspiramos en el “pixel art”. Cada equipo, liderado por los alumnos de sexto grado, diseñó, planificó y realizó grandes obras que constaron de 1260 cuadraditos de papel cada una, demostrando una vez más, un excelente trabajo en equipo y creatividad.

esde la Música indagamos diferentes maneras de comunicación y expresión, a partir de la exploración de un universo sonoro en experiencias de creación individual y colectiva, de la incorporación de técnicas interpretativas y de la posibilidad de plasmar los sucesos sonoros en representaciones visuales. A través de la escucha atenta y del movimiento corporal, logramos conectarnos con el entorno y comprender contextos culturales e históricos diferentes. Intentamos construir un sentido crítico reflexionando sobre los procesos y producciones propias. Aprendemos a interactuar con otros asumiendo la propia responsabilidad en el éxito de la tarea. Este año hemos puesto énfasis en la intención del discurso musical, tanto en la interpretación como en la composición. Cuando nos apropiamos de una canción en el momento que comprendemos el valor del texto y su relación con la música, o seleccionamos el material sonoro y su modo de ejecución en una sonorización o composición, desarrollamos nuestra sensibilidad y exploramos múltiples canales de expresión. Este aspecto quedó manifiesto en las interpretaciones individuales y colectivas de los temas musicales del Play, en las múltiples presentaciones en la Competencia Interhouse de Música y en las interpretaciones del Coro del Colegio Primario. Cabe destacar el Festival de Coros desarrollado en octubre cuando recibimos a los coros de St. George’s College, St John’s School Pilar, Cardinal Newman College y Northlands School en el que presentamos nuestros respectivos repertorios y compartimos una canción final con todos los presentes. 14 0 _ ST G E O R G E ’ S CO LLEGE NO RTH

entro de las Artes Creativas un evento destacado fue nuestro Senior Drama Play titulado “A Millions Dreams” los alumnos tuvieron la oportunidad de desarrollar sus talentos personales y experimentar en la creación de gran parte de la obra, desde la construcción de los personajes hasta la propia escenografía. Teatro se incorporó este año al depto de las Artes Creativas y realizó exitosamente la primera muestra de los proyectos colaborativos de Theatre Ib. La noche de las Artes fue otra oportunidad en la que nuestros alumnos IB se lucieron, al explicar y mostrar todo el proceso de trabajo en las diferentes disciplinas artísticas, además de toda la obra realizada. Como cierre del interhouse de Música, en Agosto se realizó el
Gala Concert, una oportunidad para ver el desarrollo de las habilidades musicales de nuestros alumnos. S1 nos reunió una tarde de Octubre como público, para presenciar el trabajo en Música y Arte de los más pequeños de secundaria. Esu singing competition que se lleva a cabo en el Britsh Arts Centre, tuvo como nuestra representante a Victoria Sanucci, que participó interpretando “defying Gravity” del musical “Wicked”. Este año el interhouse de Arte tuvo como desafío la realización de Murales dentro del entorno escolar, estos se llevaron a cabo en los muros frente a nuestro estacionamiento. Se trató de una jornada intensa cargada de un espíritu de camaradería y liderazgo que dejó una huella en nuestro paisaje habitual de llegada al colegio.

A message from the President Dear Old Georgians, 2018 was a glorious year for the Old Georgian Club. Once again the Dragon spirit showed all it´s colors in every possible way. Boys in rugby did a tremendous job getting into first division in URBA. Hockey girls trained hard and finally we were able to sign up at the Asociación Argentina de Hockey for 2019. We have still much to do, but I am confident we will continue growing. I would like to thank the Board of Governors of St. George´s College for we have been, and hopefully continue doing so, working together for the greatness of our Institutions.

President´s Speech
Good Evening! Welcome the 110th Old Georgian Annual Dinner. It is with great pleasure that I find us all gathered here at St George’s College once again. I would like to thank the Board of Governors and Mr. Ian Tate, Headmaster of St George’s College Quilmes for allowing us to have such an important celebration here tonight. I also thank Mr. Alex Cherry for being our Master of Ceremonies tonight. 110 years is something to be proud of. Being an institution that has been able to survive and endure throughout so many years is not an easy task, I believe this only shows what we, Old Georgians, are truly made of, Honor and Braveness. I want to specially thank the Old Georgian Club Committee, a team that puts in endless effort for the Club to continue growing, thank you boys and girls, without you none of all we’ve achieved would be possible! I would like to welcome now our Guest of Honor, Mr. Eugenio Burzaco and his wife Daniela, our Floreat Domus Mr. Guido Giana and his wife Michelle, Members of the Board of Governors of St George’s College, especially Mr. Francisco Follett newly appointed Chairman, Members of the Board of Directors of Fundación Educacional San Jorge, Members of Staff of both sites, Quilmes and North. This has been an interesting year with many achievements. I would like to share a few of them with you. Algo importantísimo para compartir es que finalmente en diciembre pasado se firmó la escritura del edificio de la calle Juan María Gutiérrez, sede social de nuestro Club en Palermo, a nombre de la Asociación Civil Old Georgian Club. Oficialmente el edificio es nuestro! Gracias Fundación Educacional San Jorge por ayudarnos a lograr esto. En cuanto a lo deportivo debo decir que el Club no para de crecer y de enorgullecernos a todos! Los resultados que obtuvimos el año pasado fueron fabulosos. En Rugby, no sólo los chicos del Plantel
Superior salieron Campeones sino que ascendieron de categoría. Y este año vienen con un desempeño increíble que demuestra que todo el esfuerzo valió y vale la pena!! Pero cuando hablamos de deportes son muchas las novedades. Hemos logrado, gracias al excelente vínculo con el College, empezar con el Old Georgian Hockey Team. Esto era un pendiente importante en la lista del Club y gracias al apoyo del Colegio que nos ha permitido entrenar en la cancha de Hockey sintético, es que hoy tenemos a 40 entusiastas que conforman este equipo que si bien aún no está inscripto en la Asociación Argentina de Hockey, ya está dejando huella en los diferentes torneos amistosos en los que participa. Debo destacar algo… cuando comenzamos con este loco proyecto el año pasado en agosto, eran tan sólo 8 locas entusiastas las que conformaron el primer equipo bajo la capitanía de Clarita Bortot. Como todos los comienzos, fue duro ya que en ese momento no teníamos la cancha de entrenamiento que tenemos hoy, por lo tanto había que entrenar en donde fuera!!! Poco a poco el número de jugadoras se fue engrosando, el proyecto se fue ordenando y hoy podemos hablar de un equipo sólido y consolidado con objetivos y metas claras. También quiero compartir con Uds. que el equipo de fútbol masculino del Club está entrenando en las canchas del College, una vez más agradezco el esfuerzo conjunto que ambas instituciones estamos haciendo para lograr forjar un espíritu real de Community. En cuanto al Fútbol femenino, las chicas nos han dado una vez más un triunfo en el torneo que finalizó el año pasado. Este año no sólo continúa ese equipo ganador, sino que se han sumado más jugadoras y ahora tenemos dos equipos de fútbol femenino que nos representan con orgullo. Tenis, cricket y yachting también tuvieron sus muy buenos desempeños. Cuando hablo de deportes, no sólo les quiero contar sobre los resultados obtenidos por cada uno de nuestros equipos, también quiero compartir con Uds. lo que tenemos en mente. Sabemos todos que nuestra sede deportiva se encuentra aquí en Quilmes, en el Bajo, lugar que gentilmente el Colegio nos cede. Actualmente tenemos una cancha de Rugby y un quincho en donde los chicos hacen los terceros tiempos. Pero, tenemos planes, un Master Plan. Agradezco al Sr Gustavo Fernández por ser quien de manera impecable lleva esto adelante. Es nuestro objetivo convertir al Bajo no sólo en la sede deportiva de Rugby del Club, sino de todos los deportes. Y les cuento que ya hemos comenzado! Durante el mes de enero realizamos una obra hidráulica, que fue la etapa uno de este Master Plan. Este primer paso era fundamental para ahora poder continuar con las etapas dos y tres que con optimismo y aliento de todos pronto llegarán. Ahora debemos comenzar con la etapa dos que es la de rellenar la cancha dos de rugby y la cancha de football, y luego poder pasar a la etapa tres que es la construcción de una cancha de hockey sintético. También aspiramos a poder contar en algún momento con una confitería y tenis. Como verán, picamos alto, pero el que nunca nada intenta, a nada llega! También el año pasado mencionamos que el Club armaría una

red de beneficios para sus Socios y me es sumamente placentero anunciar que ya tenemos a la primera empresa en adherirse a esta red, y no sólo brindando un beneficio para los Old Georgians sino que además esta empresa se compromete a donar un porcentaje al Club por cada venta a un Old G. Gracias Guido Guidi! Y quiero contarles sobre el Dragon´s World Tour! Seguramente algunos cuantos ya han escuchado hablar de esto. Es una iniciativa para estar más cerca de los Old Georgians alrededor del mundo. El año pasado el Dragón visitó a los Georgians de Santa Cruz de la Sierra en Bolivia y a los de New York City en Estados Unidos. Este año el tour continúa, as we speak un Embajador del Dragón se encuentra en Chile con todos nuestros Old G´s de esa región! Gracias Horacio Buceta por ser nuestro representante de lujo!!! El Dragón tiene previsto varios destinos más a lo largo del año y como les mencioné antes esto es para fortalecer vínculos entre todos los Old Georgians en el mundo! As I’ve mentioned many times, I consider teamwork is the only way to carry things out. I believe we, the Old Georgian Club, St George’s College and Fundación Educacional San Jorge are a true Community doing a fabulous team work and this is why I would like you all here today to meet our new Headmaster for St George’s College North, for he has recently joined our Community. Mr. Oliver Proctor, would you like to step up and tell us about the North?
Para cerrar, quiero destacar algo que a mí me llegó profundamente y es algo que no puedo dejar de ligar a lo que significa la hermandad que todos los Old Georgians tenemos. Que habla por sí sólo de los vínculos que se forjan en este Colegio. El año pasado dos Old Georgians maravillosas fueron protagonistas de un acto, si bien privado y personal, enaltecedor, ejemplar y despojado de cualquier tipo de interés. Un verdadero ejemplo de vida! Una de ellas necesitó un trasplante de un órgano vital y la otra sin siquiera dudarlo un segundo se lo donó. Hoy nos acompaña Lola, María se encuentra de viaje y es por ello que no está aquí. Dolores Alves de Lima, me gustaría que recibas esta pequeña muestra de afecto de parte del Club y que se la hagas llegar también a María Chuburu. Gracias chicas por ser un ejemplo para todos nosotros!!! Gracias por mostrarnos lo que es un verdadero acto de amor, lleno de valores y respeto!!! No hay amor más grande que dar la vida por un amigo!! Gracias Lola. Thank you all for being here tonight! Enjoy the evening! Vestigia Nulla Retrorsum! Ann V. Foster Old Georgian Club - President
Thank you Mr. Proctor.

Interview of the month Lally Barr
Francisco Follet
When dod you start working for St. George´s College? I started working in 1992. With my husband we had chosen St Georgees as a school for our children in 1986. Nicholas started in 1987 and then each one of them in third grade. They did Kindergarten and the first grades of Primary in Ranelagh Community School town where we lived. Which is your best memory from your times at St. George´s College? My memories are lll related to school life and families. When I started working the School had only 380 students. The Board of Governors decided to create a new position which was Promotions oficer and my job was to promote the school and increase numbers. Ralph Kirby, the Chairman at that time, used to sell higher objectives every year, I was also in charge of Admissions. It was a fabolous jog as I knew all the families who were interestedin the School and the challenge was to convenice them that they were making the right decision by joining our Community. This has given me many joys and good memories in all these years. Can you tell us a funny anecdote at School? You can imagine in these 25 years I have loads of memories of every type. It is like in a family where you share happy, warm and also sad memories. It is not easy to give you one but I remember the Centenary year in 1998, when the Board of Governors asked for one event per month to celebrate the anniversary. One of them was a sports event and the First XV was playing St Andrew´s on a rainy day. We were all by the touch line and for the first time in many years, due to the small number of students, St. Georgeés managed to beat SASS and we found ourselves, Mike Roberts, Nigel Green, Peter Ashton and many others, jumping, hugging and crying under the rain. By the way, I am a St. Andrew´s former pupil. What do you wish for our Community for 2018? For 2018 and for the future I wish St.George´s to be loyal to the vision of our founders and continue to be a garrison of moral values. What do you value the moest about working in the Georgian Community? Can you tell us how this Community influences you every day? The Georgian Community has been for the last 30 years of my life, my family and the school, my second home. It does not influence my every day, it is my every day. Even the day I won´t be woking for the school it´ll be part of my life through mychildren and grandchildren and I thank every member of the Community for that.
What school house did you belong to? During my Prep School years Roberts, once in College School House (now Farran House). What did you study after you finished School? Where? Medicine at Universidad del Salvador, going onto Residency at Pediartics and Fellowship in Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Liver Transplantation. Which is your best memory from your times at St. George´s College? Wow, that.s a hard one! I really enjoyed almost every stage or aspect of life at school. A lot of the staff at that time were quite special and unique personas. Just to mention some Jimmy Cappanera, Miguel Cortese, John Harrison, Rick Baylis, Steve Hield and Bill Dweryhouse all contributed to create a special atmosphere at the school. Can you tell us about a funny anecdote at School? I could mention organizing a party on Saturday Night with a live band put together by staff, including the Anglican Priest at the time... I can still rememberhim on stage with a sleeveless MasterCard T-Shit playing the guitar. Quite extravagant for our traditional views of priests. All NC5 and prefects dressing up as “Little House on the Prairies” to run our last Steeplechase. We all ended up in the water jump! Where you a sports person? Can you tell us something you learned after practicing sports at School and which was yur favourite one? I don´t think I missed any possibility of sport, from rugby to badminton. I remember we spent quite a few week ends at school and this was always a chance to playing a “gana terreno” or a few sets of tennis. Most of us had to play all sports to make up the teams for inter school activities such as football and Hockey and I was swimming champion and Captain of the First XV. Teamwork and perseverance are attributes we acquired through individual and team sports. Rugby was and still is my favourite. What do you wish for our Community for 2018? Being a Georgian, or having gone to St. George´s College has given me tremendous sense of belonging, a fantastic group of friends probably a “band of brothers” and a certain sense of leadership. The sole mention of St. George´s somehow refers to something special, possibly difficult to define but certainly admired. I must confess I fell out from the community for some years. An intense medical career at first and bringing up three young boys, all now Georgians, kept me busy for some time! However, one always has second chances, and getting involved once again certainly makes you feel at home amongst peers. You recently became Chairman to the Board of Governos of St. George´s College, how do you feel about it? I take this appointment as a challenge, and honor and above all, as a possibility of leading a group of dedicated fellow Board members to contribute t the continued development of St. George´s College as a unique learning enviroment. Having to finish the conversion of the old Prep School into living quarters for girls and boys in Quilmes, develop the campus in Polvorines and wrking towards the integration of both sites are our main objectives at this time, and we will need plenty of support from the community!
Ralphie Goodliffe
Alejandro Williams
What school house did you belong to? Quilmes, Haxell and Lockwood House 1950 to 1957. What did you study after you finished School? Where? Studied at the Universidad Argentina de la Empresa, Comercio Exterior. Which is your best memory from your times at St. George´s College? Having been together with my friends sharing daily life activities as brothers. Can you tell us about a funny anecdote at School? I don´t know if it is funny, but one year we were assembled and were asked to stand up by alphabetical order and call out our names. So we started calling out our names starting with leter “A” when someone calls out his name and says “Zabala con zeta”. We all exploded in laughs!! Where you a sports person? Can you tell us something you learned after practicing sports at School and which was yur favourite one? Yes, I liked sports very much. I learned working as a team, rugby was my favourite and second athletics. You were in charge of the Club House for a long time, what can you tell us about those years? Being in charge of the Club House brought me in touch with former students of all ages and I was able to exchange memories of our school with them. What do you wish for our Community for 2018? The best in social and sports activities. What do you value the most about being a Georgian? Can you tell us how this Community influences you every day? The fraternal bonds which last forever, every day I am in touch with Old Georgians locally and around the world.
What school house did you belong to? Cutts House. What did you study after you finished School? Where? Economics in Universidad de Buenos Aires. Which is your best memory from your times at St. George´s College? The rugby match against Kearsney College from Southafrica. They were on a Southamerican Tour and had won every single match they´d played, including against Newman and different State Teams. Can you tell us about a funny anecdote at School? Funny anecdote! I have many of those! But I´m afraid none can be told in public!... I´m part of a Camada that always has been very creative in looking for different ways to have fun...! Where you a sports person? Can you tell us something you learned after practicing sports at School and which was yur favourite one? Sports person? In those days if you weren´t a sports person you did not exist!! What did I learn from it? Sports Teachers were real character builders! Rugby was my favourite sport but I enjoyed all of them. What do you wish for our Community for 2019? My desire for our Community for 2019 is that our institutions keep on strengthening their bonds in working together in a collaborative and sustainable way. What do you value the most about being a Georgian? Can you tell us how this Community influences you every day? Family comes in first and then Friends. Almost everyone in these two groups, Family and Friends are members of our Community, so we can say that this Community influences me every day and that is why I have dedicated a lot of my time in the past 15 years to it in trying to make a difference.
Alan Arnsten What school house did you belong to? Lockwood House. What did you study after you finished School? Where? Law at Universidad Católica Argentina, Cambridge University Faculty of Law and Harvard Law School. Which is your best memory from your times at St. George´s College? The place and the expedition club. Can you tell us about a funny anecdote at School? There are many many... Here goes one: Cooks on national strike for various days, Lockwood House to make lunch. I hand picked a team and over we went to dinning room kitchen. Took control. Distributed jobs. Mr Freiburg kitchen concessionaire was there. After adjusting my cook´s hat, I sat down with him and planned the menu. I decided to personally cook the “arroz con leche” dessert. Once my prized dessert was spooned in the metal fountains at the tables if you turned the fountain around it fell like one solid rock. Happily I recall a master and one secondary boy of the entire180 pupils (primary and secondary dinning rooms) liked my arowz con leche.
Where you a sports person? Can you tell us something you learned after practicing sports at School and which was yur favourite one? I was pretty hopeless at sports, the only ones which I could manage a little were swimming, where I would qualify (generally), and then hockey I played very well. In cricket I enjoyed very much. I was always in a House Team, never in a School Team. What do you wish for our Community for 2018? To keep pursing full integration with the College set up a strong unified institution. What do you value the most about being a Georgian? Can you tell us how this Community influences you every day? The look on another OG when you realize you have gone to the same educational establishment. The team spirit the Community quite successfully keeps alive does have an impact on my family, work and other activities I carry out.

No corta el mar sino vuela, mi velero bergantín ... “. No, no era el recordado profesor de Castellano Pepe García, sino Tony Devoto (‘84). Y sus palabras no resonaban en un aula sino en a bordo de un imponente crucero en la noche de Bahamas. Resulta que Gonzalo Avendaño convocó y generosamente invitó a varios de sus ex-compañeros a diez días de crucero y buceo en el Mar Caribe. A Tony y Gonzalo se le sumaron Kito Amos, Pablo Voinea Delast y Diego Llaneza y así se reencontraron cinco de esta Camada 84 que nunca pierde el contacto.
Un viaje lleno de amistad, buena comida, bastante bebida y muchas historias compartidas. Historias que fueron desde las anécdotas que ya todos habían oído decenas de veces a confesiones de cosas que habían pasado desapercibidas para algunas pero habrían marcado la vida de otros. Y fieles a la tradición Georgiana volvieron con anécdotas nuevas. Desde bucear con tiburones a comer el peor risotto de sus vidas, a alguna que otra que no nos quisieron compartir. El grupo entero dice que fue una experiencia inolvidable y que esperan que se repita el año que viene. Van a tratar de convencerlo al anfitrión. Hay tiempo!

Rugby
E
ste año que pasó significó mucho para nosotros, era nuestra oportunidad para demostrar todo lo que adquirimos a lo largo de los 5 años de sacrificio. Por fin llegó el momento de volver a competir oficialmente en el torneo de la URBA, de devolver al club de donde nunca se tendría que haber ido. El 2018 fue sin dudas el mejor año del rugby en el Club desde la vuelta a los torneos oficiales de la URBA. Fue el primer año que pudimos presentar equipos en las 4 divisiones de Juveniles( un logro compartido con nuestro Colegio que como siempre brinda todo el apoyo necesario).
La M15 tuvo una muy destacada actuación, peleando hasta el final su campeonato. M16 tuvo una muy buena primera mitad de año y lamentablemente por lesiones no repitió en el final. Las M17 y M19 tuvieron su alegría finalmente después de muchas penurias logrando ganar sus respectivos campeonatos. El plantel superior logró el tan ansiado ascenso a Primera C con mucho esfuerzo y demostrando que son un grupo increíble que siguen creciendo ,aprendiendo y buscando siempre mayores desafíos. Por Alejandro Williams, Coordinador General de Rugby.
Plantel Superior Sin dudas el 2018 va a ser un año que quedará en la historia del Club y en la memoria de todos. Después de mucho tiempo, el Old Georgian volvió a primera división. Fue un largo camino el que nos trajo hasta acá, 7 años de mucho esfuerzo y sacrificio, con momentos buenos y otros muy difíciles, pero siempre todos tirando hacia el mismo objetivo que teníamos muy en claro: revivir el rugby del Club. Aún nos queda mucho. Queremos que el Club siga creciendo, que se sumen más jugadores, seguir transmitiendo los valores que este deporte tan lindo nos brinda, y por sobre todo, que sea un lugar de encuentro para toda la comunidad. No queremos dejar de destacar también el gran año de las juveniles, con 2 equipos campeones y uno subcampeón. Los chicos son el futuro del club y su esfuerzo por seguir creciendo, aprendiendo y sumando jugadores es apreciado por todos. Agradecimientos en especial para Ale Williams, que sin su esfuerzo, compromiso y amor por el club nada de esto hubiese

sido posible. A todos los familiares, amigos, sponsors, ex alumnos, hinchas y comunidad Old Gee que nos acompañan y nos alientan desde el costado de la cancha. Esperamos seguir contando con todos ustedes. Menores de 19 Comenzamos el año 2018, entrenando durante el mes de febrero. Con mucho calor y con la firme premisa de seguir sumando jugadores, además de mejorar aspectos del juego. Varios nuevos se incorporaron, incluso de Salta, como consecuencia de la gira que se había planificado a Tigres Rugby Club de esa localidad al año anterior. El inicio fue en Grupo I, Zona Formativa, con una primera parte del año donde hubo victorias con Berisso RC, Ezeiza Rugby, Rivadavia (Lobos), Almafuerte, Marcos Paz, Lomas y La Plata Rugby; se perdió un sólo partido con Los Tilos por 15-7. Luego en la segunda rueda, ya con mejor clima, ganamos con La Plata Rugby, Ezeiza Rugby, Lomas, Municipalidad de Vicente López (VILO) y Municipalidad de Berazategui. El último partido jugamos de visitantes en Marcos Paz; y con mucha concentración se encaró el match donde en un lindo en-
cuentro ganamos 40 - 5, siendo considerados campeones dos fechas antes ya que las victorias nos favorecen. El festejo fue con las familias que siempre nos acompañaron. Incluso esta situación permitió que algunos jugadores se desempeñaran en Plantel Superior y hasta el Chino Sin debutó en primera.

Hockey

l 2018 fue un año donde el equipo se consolidó y tomó la decisión de no jugar ningún torneo sino concentrarse en entrenar para conocerse en la cancha y fortalecer el proyecto. Así fue como en septiembre de ese mismo año el club fue aceptado dentro de la Asociación Amateur de Hockey de Buenos Aires generando así la posibilidad de jugar el campeonato 2019 que dará comienzo el próximo 30 de marzo. El equipo finalmente jugará en la categoría Segunda del torneo metropolitano de la Asociación Amateur de Hockey de Buenos Aires: una categoría definida por el tipo de plantel superior de edades de 16 en adelante con posibilidad de ascensos y descensos. Inicialmente el equipo estaba conformado únicamente por ex alumnas del Colegio San Jorge. Sin embargo, en 2018, se abrieron las puertas para que jugadoras de otros colegios y clubes se puedan sumar. Hoy en día el equipo está compuesto por 27 integrantes. A lo largo de todo el año, el equipo entrenó siempre con un sistema de luces led que ellas mismas armaron. Además de entrenar las 2 horas diarias necesarias, las jugadoras cuelgan y descuelgan en todos los entrenamientos su sistema de luminarias. El historial y los esfuerzos de este equipo dejan en evidencia que

Basketball
E
l 2018 fue un excelente año para el equipo de básquet de Old Georgian. Empezó con la propuesta de un grupo de ex alumnos de juntarse y volver a jugar este deporte que nos apasiona. Comenzamos el año entrenando en las canchas del St. George’s College North. Al principio éramos unos pocos pero se fue corriendo la voz y se sumaron muchísimos jugadores. Ex alumnos, alumnos y amigos, todos fueron bienvenidos a sumarse al equipo. Pronto oficializamos nuestra representación como equipo de Old Georgian y nos inscribimos en el torneo de la Asociación de Básquetbol del Noroeste (ABN). Los primeros partidos fueron difíciles mientras nos íbamos acostumbrando a jugar como equipo. Pero partido tras partido fuimos mejorando y los resultados nos acompañaron. Además sumamos un entrenador que nos ayudó a identificar los puntos de mejora y organizar los entrenamientos consecuentemente. Con
mucho esfuerzo y compañerismo en la cancha coronamos el año como ¡saliendo subcampeones! Hoy tenemos 24 jugadores en el equipo, y un gran rango de edades: el más joven tiene 14 años y el más experimentado 35. El 83% estudió en St. George’s, y un cuarto de ellos aún son alumnos. ¡Estos últimos van a hacer sustentable al equipo en el tiempo! El nivel de convocatoria y el progreso en nuestro juego durante el año no podrían haberse logrado sin el apoyo del OG Club y el St. George’s College, a quienes expresamos nuestro agradecimiento. En 2019 tomamos un nuevo desafío: vamos a disputar un torneo de mayor categoría que sin dudas nos permitirá seguir creciendo como equipo. Ya estamos haciendo pretemporada para estar listos. ¡Vamos OGs!
Fútbol Femenino
E
l torneo empezó con un cambio de entrenador, lo que nació como un cambio de aire, super positivo. José no solo nos hizo concentrarnos més, sino que nos hizo entrenar tácticas específicas, llevando novedades a cada partido. Se sintió más compromiso y sed de fútbol, más actitud en la cancha. Cada victoria era una fiesta. El objetivo de las dragonas era claro: jugar en la final por el primer puesto de la categoría “A” (la categoría en la que jugamos). Lamentablemente el final no fue el esperado; salimos segundas. Solo significó la desilusión de levantar la gran copa y festejar, pero aun así pudimos ver que lo dejamos todo desde el principio. Aunque nos fuimos cabizbajas de la cancha, teníamos los brazos de familia y amigos esperándonos detrás del alambrado de la cancha, con palabras alentadoras.
Esperamos en este nuevo torneo del 2019 prender la flama del dragón una vez más, y ojalá ganar la gran final.

NUESTRA EMPRESA PETROLERA LOGRÓ EL ÁREA DE EXPLORACIÓN OFFSHORE Buscamos la solución de Transporte con Helicópteros a las plataformas. Con la experiencia de más de 2,500 horas anuales de vuelo Offshore, Modena Offshore nos dio la seguridad y eficiencia que necesitábamos.
EL ACCIDENTE DE TRÁNSITO DE MI FAMILIA FUE UN GOLPE TREMENDO Fueron transportados en un helicóptero al mejor Centro de Salud Especializado. En minutos estaban siendo atendidos por los mejores profesionales, cuando en ambulancia hubieran tardado horas en llegar a un hospital con medios limitados. Con la experiencia que le dan 800 vuelos anuales de emergencias médicas, Modena HEMS les salvó la vida
NO SABÍA QUÉ HACER PARA SORPRENDER A MI PAREJA PARA NUESTRO ANIVERSARIO Contratamos un helicóptero, despegamos desde Puerto Madero y en minutos volamos sobre la Ciudad. Finalmente aterrizamos en una estancia de ensueño. Fue una experiencia inolvidable, y el comfort del helipuerto y el helicóptero inmejorables.
LLEGÓ NUESTRO DIRECTORIO INTERNACIONAL PARA VISITAR NUESTRA PLANTA LOCAL El mismo día tenían que volver a su país. Contratamos un helicóptero desde Ezeiza, y nos tomó 30 minutos llegar. Por la tarde ya pudieron regresar para su vuelo de retorno internacional. Por tierra hubiera sido imposible, y además con el ahorro en hoteles y logística el costo fue muy conveniente.
3000 HORAS DE VUELO ANUALES – 9 HELICÓPTEROS PROPIOS – 4 BASES DE OPERACIONES
