Co-Curricular Culture

Pursuing Passions

Waverley College has an extensive Co-Curricular Program that caters for all levels and abilities. We will actively encourage your son to strive for excellence and pursue his interests – both inside and outside of the classroom. We believe that cultural pursuits assist to develop creativity, confidence, expression, cognitive dimension and communication skills.

Students in the Junior School must participate in one sport co-curricular activity each summer and winter. And in the Senior School students can participate in either a sport or culture co-curricular activity each summer and winter.

Band Practice with St Clare’s College

Creative and Performing Arts

Students from St Clare’s College and Waverley have the opportunity to come together to be involved in large-scale musical productions performed in the NIDA Parade Theatre. Recent performances include Guys and Dolls (2019) and High School Musical (2016). These rich performance, music, singing and production experiences are frequently the catalyst for students to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
