We are delighted to announce the launch of the eighth edition of Labor Amoris, St George’s Sixth Form student-led academic journal.

This latest edition, themed around imperfection, explores one of the most relevant and thought-provoking ideas facing young people today: the pressure to achieve perfection, and the value of embracing individuality, creativity and growth. As Editor Georgia Barrett reflects, the pursuit of perfection can often overshadow the richness of learning and the diversity of student thought.

Featuring a wide range of essays, from philosophy and art to geopolitics and sustainability, Labor Amoris continues to showcase the intellectual curiosity and academic ambition of our Sixth Form students. Highlights include the annual essay competition on “The search for perfection is a flawed pursuit”, alongside pieces exploring artificial intelligence, language, and modern society.

This edition is particularly special as it marks the final publication edited by Georgia Barrett, Upper Sixth, who has led the journal across two editions. Her leadership has helped further shape Labor Amoris as a platform that celebrates student voice, originality and academic exploration.

Printed copies are available in limited supply, alongside a digital edition, which you can find here:

Congratulations to all student contributors, editors and artists involved in bringing this publication to life.
