Code Camp returned to St. George's College last month with another of their successful tech camps! Children could choose between Video Game Creation (each child walked away with their own game, playable on any device) or Minecraft Engineers (each child created and built a rollercoaster within Minecraft Education). Over thirty children attended the camp for 2 days and feedback from children and parents has been fantastic. Here is what Chloe thought about her time at Code Camp:

"It is the best camp I have been to in my 9 years of life, I loved it!!"

Code Camp will be back at St. George's College this month (27th and 28th August) and there are still a few places remaining in the Coding, Minecraft and Design camps! To book please go to www.codecamp.co.uk/camps

GETSET – Elite girls camp (cricket)

A girl’s cricket camp took place here on the 22-24 July using our main field, outdoor nets and pavilion. This is the first time we have held a girl’s cricket camp. Luckily the weather was good.

This is one of the numerous clubs and camps we have had here at the College this summer. It is good to be able to utilise our facilities in the holidays when the students are on summer break.

If you are thinking of what your children can do in the holidays please check out our holiday club website or email events@stgeorgesweybridge.com for more information.

We had a tennis holiday club here last week (30th July – 1 August) for 6-17 year olds from 10-4pm each of the three days. The weather was hot! They had use of the outside chapel courts and also played indoors from 2-4pm due to the heat – not the rain! The children all had an enjoyable time, and four tennis coaches were on hand showing them lots of tennis techniques and tips. They were able to have lunch in the shade and be ready again for the afternoon sessions. The tennis club will be back here again on 13-15th August and 27-29th August.

Once again we welcomed schools to host their sports day here at the College using our athletic track and surrounding areas. The weather was kind and good fun was had by all. This is an annual event we hold for three schools in the local area – St Charles Borromeo, Chertsey High and Salesians. They are able to use our facility as the College is on summer break. They had many games and races and also a tug of war! Look forward to next year!

Surrey Hockey

Surrey Hockey hosted the first DC camp of the cycle at St George's College Weybridge 19-21st July with U13 and U14 boys and girls participating. The players are taking part in the first stage of the Development Cycle. Successful players will be invited to an assessment training session in September from where the Age group squads will be selected.
Surrey Hockey chose to use St George's college as a venue due to its central location and excellent facilities attracting players from the northwest of the county.

Last season 22 St George’s College students represented Surrey Academy squads in the 2022/23 Cycle with 10 receiving Southern Counties Championship medals with Boys U13 and Girls U14.

Surrey Academy is a training program of five training sessions ending with four match days playing triangular tournaments with counties in the Southeast of England.

Surrey Hockey hope to be back at St George's soon.
