Societies
At Ewell Castle, there are dozens of organisations known as societies, in many of which pupils come together to discuss a particular topic, presided over by a Master, the pupils fulfilling the role of 'Padowan'. The clubs range from Design, Sciences and Politics to Sports and recreation (e.g. Sailing, Duke of Edinburgh Award). In late 2008 a team from the school won first prize in the Epsom, Ewell and Banstead Schools’ Enterprise Challenge 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word societies:
“All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“All that remains to the mother in modern consumer society is the role of scapegoat; psychoanalysis uses huge amounts of money and time to persuade analysands to foist their problems on to the absent mother, who has no opportunity to utter a word in her own defence. Hostility to the mother in our societies is an index of mental health.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
