Description	Extracurricular activities added colour to the routine and rigour of daily life, both for students and staff. Societies and associations were established as a way of enabling students to realise their potential outside of the academic environment and develop a sense of belonging and identity associated with being part of a group of like-minded people. There was a wide range of societies at Wonersh catering for all tastes and interests, including religious confraternities and sodalities, sports societies and charity groups. Sport has always been an important component of seminary life, with the traditional football, cricket, and tennis games. The game of catte was also popular. Aside from societies and sporting events, students and staff produced and performed in plays and concerts which provided entertaining diversions for the participants and their fellow students.
