St George's headmaster Anton Buy has one aim ... to see each and every one of his students do well.
He encourages them right across the educational spectrum from being involved in sporting activities to achieving academically and enjoying all things cultural.
He knows each and every one of them
and follows their progress with interest and pride.
This small, private, co-educational, Anglican primary school for Years 4-8 has not only traditional pastoral and spiritual values but also an academic emphasis that is innovative and with the times.
These students are well spoken, well mannered and confident.
They know who they are and where they are going, and they are encouraged every inch of the way.
It's something you do not need to be told, because it is in their demeanour, their open faces and clear eyes.
These are students destined to go far, whether their main love is cricket or singing. And they get every opportunity available. Mr Buy said that as well as keeping a close eye on his students' academic progress, he kept their sporting development in checktoo. He also feels that nowadays, it was no easy ask to keep a private preparatory school running.
``The parents are highly supportive here, which is quite wonderful.''
But the reality is there are parents who simply cannot afford to send their children to a private primary school these days, he said.
In fact, scholarships to the school are being discussed for sport.
So for any child who one day may be granted a scholarship to this prestigious small school, it would be the opportunity of a lifetime.
At St George's they are guaranteed small classes, teachers who are totally committed to their young charges and a headmaster who knows and cares about each and every child in his school-->-->-->
