Let the friend-raising begin! 

As one of the important initiatives of our Towards 2030 Strategic Plan, launching Friends of St George’s is a significant milestone. Last Thursday (20 March) was a momentous occasion as an excited Management Committee of the inaugural Friends of St George’s assembled for the first time to introduce themselves and discuss their roles and plans for this fantastic new initiative at the school. Along with our Principal Mrs Campbell, the Dean of School Operations Mrs Allen, Business Manager Mr Thatcher and Marketing and Community Engagement Manager Mrs Quartermain, the Friends of St George’s is a passionate, creative and supportive new addition to our school community. 

Friends of St George’s is primarily a ‘friendraising’ group, serving as a support for the families of the school beyond the classroom. This includes being a point of contact for all new families, helping them to navigate the St George’s way and co-ordinating social events to bring families together, fostering connectedness and support networks within year groups. Friends of St George’s has big plans to bring a number of new initiates to the school community that will help build our culture and that special sense of family that we so genuinely value at St George’s.

With the initial meeting of the Management Committee completed, we are so excited to see the Friends of St George’s taking shape. Stay tuned for further updates from the members of the group as they reach out in their different roles to starting planning connections and events.
