The European Day of Languages is 26 September. It was set up by the Council of Europe and was first celebrated in 2001. It’s getting bigger every year, with 45 countries now involved.

Our celebrations will run from Monday 27th September-Friday 1st October.


We will be holding a Teach a Friend a Language Week in our Junior and Lower schools (from P3-S1) and a series of lunchtime language tasters in languages not normally at taught at St George's in Upper School (S2-S6) delivered by a combination of staff from all parts of the school, and some students. On Friday 1st October we are hoping to hold a 'Chatterbox' session in our Upper School Hall with a series of stations where students can sit and chat in a number of different languages with other students and staff. We will hopefully kick the week off with an assembly on the Monday morning.
