During Men's Health Week communities across Australia reach out to men, boys and their families to promote health and wellbeing.
Waverley College Men’s Health Week aims to get our students to reflect on their health and identify ways it can be improved. We need to acknowledge that there is a significant gap between the health of men and women in Australia – at Waverley College, we are doing something about that!

We would like to acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation who are the traditional Custodians of the land on which Waverley College is located. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We are committed to honouring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual connections to the land, waters, seas and sky and their rich contribution to society.
