Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

St George's College was founded in 1896 in Bulawayo by Fr Marc Barthelemy SJ. It relocated to Harare (Salisbury) in 1927 because expansion was not possible on the Bulawayo site. The campus now occupies around forty hectares beside the National Botanical Gardens. It is a Roman Catholic school rooted in the Jesuit ethos. It offers Cambridge International Examinations with a wide range of IGCSE and A Level subjects.

Community

St George's College offers more than fifteen sporting disciplines each season, including athletics, water polo, rugby and volleyball. Its Boat Club is based at the Mazowe Dam and golfers may use Royal Harare. The cultural life features over sixty clubs and a range of activities. The campus life is rooted in its Jesuit ethos.

Parent-Teacher Association

The school has a Parents Programme to impart the Ignatian ethos to parents. The involvement of parents is part of the collaboration between parents and schools to bring up the young men in our care according to the defined aims. The programmes include presentations at the induction of new parents into the community. Other presentations are made at parent gatherings such as SDC meetings, assemblies and parents' evenings organized by age group. The school provides Staff Programmes and Student Programmes that share Ignatian values through staff forums and retreats, chapel services and related activities. The Parents Programme is a core aspect of family involvement in St George's College.
