The Spirit of Family, central to life at St George's, has ten aspects:

Politesse is the art of living appropriately in the world through respect and consideration for others. It aims to make people feel at ease in the presence of others and so it is the antithesis of bullying.

Douceur or firm gentleness requires all to be caring and compassionate towards others.

Mercy is forgiving love in action and actively works towards the promotion of a compassionate society.

Honesty was a fundamental principle of van Crombrugghe, therefore a commitment to truth and personal integrity remains integral to a Josephite school.

Zeal speaks of passionate enthusiasm and unwavering encouragement in all things, taking full advantage of everything our schools have to offer.

Happiness is about ‘Coming Home to School’ in a spirit of joy and works towards developing our well-being and capacity to be happy within ourselves.

Inclusiveness ensures that every person feels actively involved. All are encouraged to live their lives to the full and become the very best version of themselves.

Collaboration involves being of one mind and heart, emphasising the importance of teamwork.

Pastoral care is the active support and affirmation of others. No one should ever feel they are walking alone.

Hospitality is ensuring all feel welcome and valued within our Georgian community.
