Alongside his colleague Richard Browning, George is well known advocate, leader and voice in the field of service learning. 

George began teaching at Radford College in 1989 as an English teacher and through the years has also taught Drama, General Studies, RaVE and Support Based Learning. He is well known for a lengthy period as a Year Coordinator; director of Junior Drama - with his play Squares being staged 3 three times - as well as numerous irreverent School Musicals in the 90s and 00s; as a multiple premiership-winning soccer coach; a band mentor; and less predictably having been involved as announcer at School Carnivals, in Mock Trial, Friday Activity Reading Programs and Softball.

In 2007, with Rachael Bishop, he founded teamSUPPORT, a project designed to encourage young people to participate in and lead charitable work. The teamSUPPORT project was honoured with an Order of Australia Association Committee Award in 2010 and with a National Volunteer Award (Under 25 Team Award) from the Australian Government in 2011. 

This was all followed by George's deeply personal memoir, Little Life, which traced the formation of teamSUPPORT alongside caring for a mother with dementia. May 3 saw the publication of its sequel, Big Life, which details his service learning philosophy in light of a recent project working with Radford staff and students, as well as his rock band Junk Sculpture, in developing lasting relationships with people in Gamilaraay country of northern New South Wales. These nurtured relationships, the school programs developed and the raised awareness of indigenous issues, history and culture during these "G-trips" were recognised with an Order of Australia Association Committee Award in 2015. 

George was keynote speaker for the 2018 Transforming Service Conference presenting a piece on the Radford Gamilaraay Trips and he also received a nomination for the 2018 ACT Public Education Awards for his oversight of Radford College's Student Engagement Program with Cranleigh School.
