Weekends

Every Term at St George's there is a Half Term holiday and there are two Exeat Weekends. Exeat Weekends are when everyone goes home from 4.30pm on Friday until 8.30pm on Sunday. The Half Term holiday is usually a week. The dates for Half Term and the Exeats are published in the School Calendar.

Apart from this, all boarders must spend four weekends in school. These weekends are called 'closed' weekends and they are always the first and last weekends of term, and the weekends on either side of Half Term. As everyone is in school, we organise lots of activities and special outings for these weekends. Day girls are welcome to join these outings - in fact we are delighted when they do - and may stay overnight if this is arranged beforehand with the Housemistress.

All the other weekend are 'optional' weekends and you may, if you wish, go home from Saturday noon until Sunday Chapel - usually 8.00pm. You will be asked about your weekend arrangements by your Housemistress and you should tell her what your plans are - whether you are going home or staying in school. During the 'optional' weekends there are always lots of activities and girls often choose to stay in.
