Activities |
 A
fundamental policy of Saint Georges School is the excessive
participation in the extra-curricular activities which are
considered an important aspect of a student's overall development.
Some of these are:
1) The Anglophone Day; which
reveals openness to and appreciation of the cultures related to the
target language.
2) The Francophone Day; which
reflects the French civilization.
3) The Historical Plays and Musicals;
performed by the students in one of the three languages Arabic,
English or French such as Petra, Sound of Music, Shakespearean
Plays.
4) Arabic Poetry Night (or Souk
Okaz); an activity that revives the old Arabian night and reflects
on the Arab civilization.
5) The Folklore Dance at AUB;
representing the folklore of different countries.
6) The Annual Film Festival; An
activity which is organized by the school and which absorbs more
than thirty participant schools from Lebanon and other countries.
The festival is embodied in a contest for Secondary students who are
to produce a fifteen- minute movie about a specific topic.
(Generation Gap, Human Rights, Deviation of Youths…) The films are
then evaluated by a committee of experts according to certain
criteria. The results of the content are usually announced during a
festival at UNESCO Palace.
7) Clubs and Societies; Clubs
and Societies meet after school and they include computer, school
choir, music, drama, drawing, fashion, football, volleyball,
basketball, and environment club.
8) School Publication; The
school magazine, ECHO SAINT GEORGES which is written in three
languages (English, French and Arabic) and includes all school
events, students' activities and publications.
9) Excursions and Educational trips;
the school organizes many recreational outings and two educational
trips per year for Grades 1 to 8, and one outing per month for
Kindergarten students. These trips are organized on the basis of the
integration of subjects. So in one trip a student can benefit in
geography, history, science, social studies and others.
