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.

These were St Charles Borromeo Monday 10 July, Chertsey High School Wednesday 12 July and Salesians School Tuesday 18 July. Luckily the temperatures were not as hot as last summer when they were here! The pupils really enjoy their Sports Days here and have lots of fun up on our Athletic track.

Please see feedback from the schools involved:

St Charles Borromeo:
I would like to express our thanks for this afternoon and for all of the great work that goes behind the scenes to make our sports day possible.
Thank you to the team of drivers and grounds staff who got everything prepared and thank you to you too.
Hopefully, we can book ourselves in again next year? It makes such a difference for the children and parents.
Have a good break when it comes.

Chertsey High School:
Hey,
Oh, it was great thanks! Your guys were so helpful 🙂
It started raining early in the day but thankfully didn't last long.
The kids loved it!
Thanks again for everything!

Relevé School of Ballet ran summer ballet workshops at the Activity Centre in August. Pupils ranged in age from 4-14 years old. Younger children enjoyed ‘Cinderella’ themed workshops where they learnt fun dances from the ballet Cinderella, re-enacted famous scenes from the ballet and dressed up as a ballerina or their favourite Disney princess. The children also made new friends, played games, puzzles and colouring.

Older pupils participated in “Back To School Workshops” which included a floor barre & stretch session, 1 hour ballet class and learning a solo from the ballet Giselle. Miss Grace was really impressed with everyone’s dancing and it was a wonderful way to get back into shape for the start of a new school year.

Classes were taught by Miss Grace, who is a qualified and registered Royal Academy of Dance teacher. She previously danced professional in ballet companies both in the UK and USA. Miss Grace loved sharing her knowledge and experience with the children and is looking forwards to running more workshops and holiday camps in the future, so be sure to keep an eye out for future dates!

Both current pupils of Relevé School of Ballet and new faces joined in the summer workshops and we had some really great feedback from parents.

Parent feedback
“Thanks to you and Jackie for a lovely workshop today. Lily was buzzing afterwards and keen to tell everyone about her new friends!”

“She said the ballet workshop was the most enjoyable summer camp and she wanted to take other ballet classes.”

“Poppy absolutely loved the workshop so hopefully there will be more for her to do in the future”

“She really did love The Cinderella Day”

“Gabriella really enjoyed your workshop day and would love to join any other workshop dates you have in the future so please let me know.”

Relevé School of Ballet also runs ballet classes from children age 4+ during term-time in Weybridge. If you would like more information or to book a FREE trial class please email Grace at office@releveschoolofballet.co.uk
