St.George`s Girls School Details and History
St. George’s Girls’ School is an all-girls secondary school in George Town, Penand, Malaysia. An Anglican school established in 1885, it is notable for its academic achievements, leading to its inclusion in the Malaysian Ministry of Education’s Cluster School and High-Performance school systems.
The school, originally founded by St. George’s Church, was first located at Farquhar Street in the city center. It was relocated several times before finally arriving at its present grounds at Macalister Road in 1954.
St. George’s Girls Secondary School is a Public Provincial Girls’ Boarding School located along Denis Pritt Road, Kilimani in Nairobi county. The school started in 1986 as a Mixed Day School but later converted to a Girls’ Boarding School when the boys were relocated to Nairobi Milimani Secondary School.
The school population stands at 984 girls currently with 5 classes each. Our girls are mainly from Nairobi Province but about one-tenth of them are picked from the other 7 provinces. We are also hosting the UNICEF girls and Affirmative Action girls from marginalized districts. Our performance through the years has been very good in the KCSE KNEC Examinations.
St. George’s Girls school stretches back to 1884. The school was formally established in the following year, R.A. Shackleford becoming the school’s first principal. The school was named St. George, the patron saint of England and principally funded by St. George’s Church.
The school started off with an intake of 40 students. In 1888, increasing student enrollment led to classes being moved into the newly constructed bungalow.
In 1909, the British authorities took over the administration of St. George’s Girls school and renamed it the Government Girls School. Efforts were made to address the shortage of qualified teachers and the relocation of the school accommodate more students.
In 1911, the government Girls’ school was moved to Northam Road, and further expansion occurred with the acquisition of two bungalows. The British authorities also proposed in 1916 to turn the all-girls school into a co-educational school, but this idea id not materialize.
The administration of Government Girls, school was handed back to St. George’s Church in 1920, at which point the school’s name was reverted to its original name, St. George’s Girls School.
In 1954, the school was shifted once more to Macalister Road. The school has since been renowned for the consistent academic achievements of its students.
