Please note that the Annual General Meeting of the St. George’s Parents’ Association (SGPA) will take place on Tuesday, December 10, 2024 at 9:00 am in McLean Hall at the Senior School. All parents and guardians are members of the SGPA and are encouraged to attend.
 

AGENDA: The Annual General Meeting will be held for the following purposes: to receive the report of the directors; to review the financial statements of the SGPA for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, together with the report of the auditors; to appoint auditors and to authorize the directors to fix their remuneration; to elect directors for the ensuing year; and to transact on other business that may properly come before the meeting.


The St. George’s Parents' Association (SGPA) includes all parents and guardians of boys attending the School 

The SGPA Board works on behalf of the St. George’s Community to facilitate and coordinate parent engagement. Through its many events, its role is to create a vibrant community where parents participate through volunteering their time and talent for the betterment of our boys, the School, and parents themselves.
 
As a wonderful by-product of many SGPA events, substantial funds are raised to support the School. Important examples of the impact of SGPA fundraising efforts include:
  • support for the Head of School’s Fund, which allows for immediate financial intervention for Saints families experiencing loss or difficulty; and
  • enhancement of programs with new equipment and/or amenities

What we do...

Saints Fair

This year marks the 72nd edition of the St. George's School Fair. 

The Saints Fair will take place on Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 10:00 am–4:00 pm at the Junior School Campus. 





Boy-O-Boy Speaker Series

Boy-O-Boy is a parent education speaker series event which is run by the SGPA in partnership with the School. The goal of this series is to provide insights and generate conversations within our community on various topics.

Sessions are conducted as panel discussions and include a featured expert along with faculty members and a parent Q&A section. 


Saints Spirit Run

This 4.5 km run is led by Grade 12 students. The route begins at the Junior School and proceeds through Pacific Spirit Park, with participants crossing the finish line back in front of the Junior School. Volunteer cheer squads line the route making this a loud and “spirited” event. Each participant is awarded a student-designed medal. The event welcomes all members of the Saints Community: you can walk, run, cheer, or volunteer!

Staff Appreciation

Because nothing is too good for our faculty and staff, the SGPA brought “Yoda Best” to the Junior and Senior School campuses. We host a well-deserved luncheon annually to show appreciation for our outstanding staff and faculty. 

Grade Parent Events

Each grade at St. George's School has a creative team of parents who plan parent and student events. The Grade Parents are the social hub for each grade and the communications connector between parents and the SGPA. They organize activities and events for parents and boys and are often called upon to support teacher and School initiatives.  

This year, we heard about fun online events where the community cooked, saw magic shows, were provided out-of-the-box tutorials, and so much more. We are so grateful to these extended members of the SGPA for all their work.

...And More!
