India / Tamil Nadu / Chetpet / Chennai

It was established in the year 1715 by the British missionaries and it has got an orphanage within it. It was one of the best institutions across the country.. but slowly the glory fading. None believes this school has got an area of 27.5 acres that too in the heart of the Chennai city. But it does! What's the point having such a wide area in the city? does it benefit the children? Are they utilizing it? What does the management do?Everything has become a BIG Q??? We can proudly say it was a.. it had a.. they were a...there were a.. but all were only in the past. We still sing the GLORY OF THE PAST because there is nothing left now to be really sung!

Hi Noble,

My name is Geoffrey Fernandez, I spent 1961 to 1968 at this GREAT SCHOOL, some of the best teachers I've ever known, made me what I am today, my gratitude to them all. It was certainly a pleasure to read your article on St Georges' here. If anyone from my time at St Georges would like to catch up with me I would love to hear from them, especially any of Sgt. Tony Rodrigues family, Mrs Poorinalingams' family, Mrs Shackeltons' family, Michael Gallyot and my classmates from that era. I did write to Russell Stevenage, but did not receive any response, guess he is busy. Would love to hear from the class of '68. Cheers. Geoff. I could be reached at alexa1650@yahoo.com.au

  • Hey i am Vishu, i studied in this school, ita great school. Hey Priya do you remember me ? we are classmates.
  • As a past student of this school and when I say past it is PAST - 1965 to be precise I too have seen its deterioration for a good decade or so., however in 2003 I was back in school this time as an executive Committee member along with a dedicated team led by the dynamic educationist Dr.G.K. Francis, and since then have turned this school around with God's Grace. Today St.Georges' is excelling both academically & extra-curricular activity. We can be proud of our 90+% pass results something unheard of in yesteryears, improved infrastructure developments supported by dedicated teachers & non teaching staff. Feel free to contact the school which is on its way to celebrating 300 years in 2015.(91 44 26640768/ 91 9094443491/91 9840391671) to be a part of this celebration.
  • Hi, i'm from 96 passout. To pen about St. Georges AIHSS bring joy and tears. I was a happy anglo who paid bare minimum of Rs.75/ year. Teachers were amazing, esp. Soundrapandian sir. i pursued English major only because of him.(I loved the way he taught english). not to forget all the other teachers who moulded me. with regards to the commerical part of the school - it is a bad act although making money is not bad. but if it is used for the welfare of the students - then its ok. God bless the school and improve it. Wishing the school All the best on its 300 year. wish i can participate in the celebration along with my classmates who are scattered all over.

  • This school was started for poor Anglo Indian Students, today the total strength of the boarders are just 22 and vanishing, such a shame that the school is for rent in so many ways, television, cinema, prayer meetings, and all commercial promotional activities. The entire management is making money out of everything possible. I wish the government takes control of the school. Rather than have people loot and betray the moral cause and purpose it was started.
  • To add more, they charge around Rs.350 per month from the boarders, I hardly used to pay anything, I was well taken care of, good food, free education, free uniform, books, medication, extra activities and very good education, in line with the best people who considered and valued the rightfulness and the purpose it was started for. Shame on all those money makers managing the school. If you are looting and betraying the purpose, god will punish you a million times more. I did not mean to hurt those how are not part of this looting spree, however those part of it, karma will take it on your kids and grand kids, so watch out.........................
