With summer break over, St George's students head back to school!

With over 700 students on the first day of a new school year at St George’s, 710 to be exact, Thursday morning's atmosphere was full of nervous excitement.

Parents hugged their children goodbye and wished them luck on their first day either of their new school, or their return for another year.

The corridors were filled with happy chattering students discussing the events that occurred over their six week summer break.

Over 100 of the students will be encountering a whole new experience, learning new faces and names, meeting new members of staff and finding their way for the first time around the school.

St George's staff will do their upmost to make their first days as enjoyable as possible and a spokesperson for the school is quoted with saying "we are looking forward to the challenges of the next academic year and are proud to be celebrating 25 years of "achieving potential through challenge and care".

Wort.lu wishes all St. George's students and teaching staff, a great year!
