Our Best St George’s Girls’ School is one of Penang’s most cherished institutions. Starting from a single classroom run by the Anglican mission, St George’s became a modern government school celebrated for its distinctive ‘white dress, red belt’ look. Today it is the first school in Penang to achieve national-level high performance status. Giving
Our Best looks at 125 years of tradition in which pioneering
women educators transformed St George’s into an innovative establishment
which, in turn, produced generations of brave young girls inculcated
with a positive love of learning and a determination to succeed.
Drawing on archival materials, local histories, school yearbooks
and personal reminiscences, this richly illustrated study traces
the considerable achievements of the school, combining it with
a collective biography of women who, both as teachers and students,
gave their best to school and society. This highly readable and
engaging book will appeal to all those interested in the history
of education and the development of Penang.
