Co-Curricular
Waverley has a tradition of setting goals for its students and helping them to strive for excellence, whether it is in the academic or sporting spheres. We encourage and offer opportunities to our students, at all levels of ability, to explore and fulfil their maximum potential.
Our popular Co-curricular Program includes collaborative experiences that complement learning in the classroom so that students can develop their skills and pursue their passions and talents. If a student is gifted in any sport or activity he is expected to share and develop that talent within and for the College.
The Co-Curricular Program at Waverley Comprises:
- Co-Curricular Sport
- Co-Curricular Culture
- Outdoor Learning
- Cadets
Co-Curricular Sport
Students in the Senior School can participate in either a Co-curricular Sport or Co-curricular Culture activity each summer and winter. Students in the Junior School must participate in one Co-curricular Sport activity each summer and winter.

Outdoor Learning
Our celebrated Outdoor Learning Programs includes the Duke of Edinburgh Award providing students with opportunities to explore their potential as they commit to regular participation in skill development, physical activity and service.
In Years 5 to 10, all students attend several annual outdoor education camps which deliver social and developmental experiences, and rich opportunities for students to grow in tenacity, responsibility and character in an outdoor environment.

Cadets
The Waverley College Cadet Unit has been empowering students to become active and responsible citizens and leaders for over 100 years. Through our partnership with St Catherine’s School, students learn the value of collaboration, teamwork and leadership as they work together in service to the Unit, participating in a dynamic and unique outdoor educational program.
Cadets commences in Year 7, Term 3 and continues weekly until Year 8, Term 1, culminating in the Annual Field Exercise (AFX), a week-long camp at a military base, providing a unique context in which to put newly honed skills into practice. Many students choose to continue their development as servant leaders in the Cadet Unit into their senior years.
