Laila

Hey everyone! My name is Laila and I am fortunate enough to be one of the School Captains at St George’s for 2024/2025. I have only joined St George’s this year, so I feel truly privileged to play such an amazing role within our school community.

Since my first day at St George’s, I felt the warm inclusivity of the students. The unity of the students and the shared mindset of ‘Aiming Higher’ is reflected in all aspects of our school life. I hope that as a School Captain, I can continue to encourage this mentality, through working with Mirabel, Max and Mylo, as well as our House Captains & prefect teams.

Although my time at St George’s has not been very long, I am very grateful for all the opportunities & experiences that I have been offered. Being a part of many of the smaller societies has allowed me to meet new people & really become a part of our tight-knit community. It is an honour to be able to represent the school & dedicate my time in order to give back & have a positive impact on our student body. I hope to be able to become an approachable & familiar face to our students & do as much as I can for our community over the upcoming year!

Max

Hello, my name is Max and I am truly honoured to be one of your School Captains for the 2024/2025 academic year. I am studying Politics, Economics and Geography and I also thoroughly enjoy being part of our Senior Rugby Team. The privilege to represent you all is not one I take lightly and I’m really excited to be both a custodian and changemaker for a place that has given me so much over the last six years.

Along with Laila, Mylo, Mirabel, the House Captains and our Prefect team, we aim to realise the full potential of the St George’s community, blending tradition with change to develop and evolve everyone's experience with you, the students, at the very centre of all that we do. We hope to use our varied skill sets to serve our school community, inspiring and leading every step of the way to drive progression, standards and inclusion at every opportunity whilst being approachable faces for your ideas, suggestions, opinions or feedback.

The goal for any school captain is to leave both the role and the St George’s community in an even better way than it was gifted to you. This is something I will strive for throughout the next year and I am extremely excited to work with you all over the coming months.

Mirabel

Hi, my name is Mirabel! I have been given the great opportunity of being one of your St George’s School Captains for the 2024/25 academic year. I currently study History, Politics and Economics with the interest of studying Law at University.

I joined in year 9 as a first-time boarder. I was very scared at first but pushed myself to this new challenge. I have never felt more welcomed to a school than at St George’s. It is more than a school to me; it’s a family. A sense of unity and equal opportunity is present. Being put in a house makes you feel like you're in a smaller family where you feel closely aligned to your head of house. The competitive spirit in this school drives me to aim higher in personal development and academics.

I feel understood and valued as an individual. Boarding has made me more independent and disciplined. The training and ethos here align with my family upbringing and the philosophies of my parents. As a family, me and my siblings were challenged to be respectful, supportive, hardworking, morally and ethically upright. I see these attributes aligned with the expectations of St. George’s.

As School Captain, I understand the need for service beyond self, by serving my school and showing gratitude to the school that shaped me from a clueless year 9 to a well-rounded year 12 with goals and aims. The Christian values make it exciting to be part of a friendly, resilient, outstanding environment providing opportunities for all, no matter who you are. St George’s builds up not just an excellent student but a morally correct student.

As School Captain, I hope to make everyone feel welcomed and included. I hope to be the voice for students by introducing any change that needs to be made.  In my resilience,  I hope to encourage all students and be a role model to them.

Mylo

Hello everyone, my name is Mylo, and I am delighted to represent you and the school for the 2024/25 academic year. I am taking biology, chemistry, and geography A levels, and my ambition is to study medicine at university. Back when I was a year seven, I always thought the school captains were really cool. Now, stepping into the role as a year twelve, I feel privileged to be able to make a profound difference on the school and its students.

Being school captain is a great honour. I aim to be a ‘guardian’ of the St George’s family, not only upholding the core values of the school, but upholding its key constituent - the student body. Without its students, a school is just a building, so serving the needs of all pupils is my job. I’ll give you my best, doing a good and thorough job, whatever the weather. As much as I can, I’ll aim to put the student body first in decision making and hold its welfare with significant value.

To top it all off, I look forward to working with my fellow ‘guardians’, Max, Mirabel, and Laila. I’m sure we’ll smash it and make this year one to remember for the entire school community. Also, I hope our work with the house captains and wider prefect team runs smoothly and as issue-free as possible. I know we’ll make a fantastic team and have a real impact on our school.
