Yesterday, we came together as a College community to celebrate International Women’s Day, embracing this year’s powerful theme, “Give To Gain.” Students from St Clare’s College and St Catherine’s School joined our Years 5–12 community for a meaningful assembly recognising the achievements and impact of women.
The assembly began with a Smoking Ceremony led by Billy Beetson (Year 10) with his sisters Ella, Brooklyn, Bobbi-Lee and Baylor, Brock Smith (Year 10) and his sister Chloe, and Malakai Quinlan (Year 11), followed by a moving Acknowledgement of Country from Ella Beetson and Ms Jade Sparks.
We were then privileged to hear from keynote speaker Lisa Sthalekar, one of the most accomplished players in women’s cricket history. Lisa shared her journey from being adopted in India to finding belonging in Australia through sport, reflecting on the strength, determination, and resilience required to succeed at the elite level.
Sthalekar also highlighted the often-overlooked contributions of women to cricket, reminding students that “history can be written in different ways. Women have always played an important role in the game – only now are we starting to see that recognised.”
Following the assembly, students from St Clare’s College and St Catherine’s School joined Waverley College Captains and Prefects for lunch, continuing the conversation with Lisa and reflecting on the significance of International Women’s Day- a vital occasion to celebrate women’s achievements while recognising that gender equality remains an ongoing challenge, both in Australia and around the world.
Thank you to the large number of parents and carers who attended the Year 10 Information Evening this week and were updated on our Wellbeing program and the HSC patterns of study, subject selection, post school options and Service Week.
All of the subject selection requirements and prerequisites are on the Waverley College website.
Further information on Student Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships can be found here and here.
As part of our PDHPE and student wellbeing program, all Year 9 students participated in the Ballroom Dancing program, led by the esteemed Joan Carmody Dance Academy.
Working alongside students from St Clare’s College, they attended a series of lessons in preparation for a special evening of dance on Wednesday. Congratulations to our Year 9 cohort for their outstanding presentation, exemplary manners, and enthusiastic participation. It was truly impressive to see 400 students listening attentively, observing carefully, and embracing this new challenge with such positivity.
We extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff from both schools who assisted in supervising this wonderful program, and to Mr Patrick Darvill for his excellent coordination of the experience.
NAPLAN
In 2026, students in Years 5, 7 and 9 will again participate in the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN), administered nationally by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority. NAPLAN is one part of Australia’s broader assessment framework and provides valuable information about how students are progressing in core literacy and numeracy skills. It complements classroom assessment and teacher judgment, offering a national snapshot of student achievement.
NAPLAN is conducted online between 11 and 23 March. Four tests will be completed: Reading, Writing, Numeracy and Conventions of Language (spelling, grammar and punctuation)
Year 7 students will sit their test in Periods 1-2 and Year 9 students will sit their test in Periods 3-4 on the following dates:
Year 5 students will follow a similar timetable.
There will be an opportunity for students, absent on those days, to do a catch up test between Friday 13 March and Monday 24 March.
Students must bring their fully charged laptops and headphones to each session.
We are excited to announce the save the date of our major fundraiser the Blue & Gold Ball, to be held on Saturday, 15 August 2026. Last year’s Blue & Gold Ball was a sell-out success, raising valuable funds for our building fund. This year we hope to inspire a new generation of families to contribute to the first step in our Master Plan, the Science and Innovation Centre. This inspiring appeal sees Waverley College embarking on the largest-scale construction project in its history.
Get set for a spectacular night at the 2026 Blue & Gold Ball with pre-dinner drinks and canapés under the stars followed by a formal gala dinner, drinks and dancing, live music and auction items.

Congratulations to Baxter Bishop on an outstanding performance at the recent NSW Combined Events Championships, where he proudly claimed a State silver medal in his age division.
Competing across six demanding events, Baxter delivered a remarkable series of performances, achieving personal bests in three disciplines across the weekend.
A highlight of the meet was Baxter’s 800m performance, which not only marked a two-second personal best but currently stands as the fastest time recorded by a 12-year-old in New South Wales this year. He also produced an impressive 26.4-second run in the 200m, securing qualification for the National Championships later this year.
Congratulations again to Baxter on this significant achievement, and best wishes as he prepares to compete at Nationals.

This week, our school community joined the global celebration of International Women’s Day, a time to reflect on progress, call for change, and celebrate acts of courage and determination by women who have played an extraordinary role in history, and in our own communities. To mark the occasion, we were incredibly honoured to host a true trailblazer, former Australian Cricket Captain and Hall of Famer, Lisa Sthalekar at our whole-school assembly.
Lisa’s story is one of profound resilience, beginning long before she ever picked up a bat. She shared her moving personal history, from being adopted from an orphanage in Pune, India, to finding her home and her passion for sport in Australia. The heart of her message centered on the courage it takes to be the “first” or the “only.” Lisa captivated the audience with stories of her early days on the pitch, where she was frequently the only girl in an all-boys cricket team. She spoke candidly about letting her talent do the talking and the sheer grit required to rise through the ranks, eventually leading her country to victory and lifting the Cricket World Cup in the West Indies.
Perhaps the most impactful moment of the morning was seeing the reaction from across the room. It was particularly heartening to see our boys so deeply engaged and inspired by Lisa’s journey. They weren’t just hearing about ‘women’s cricket’; they were hearing a masterclass in leadership, mental toughness, and overcoming adversity.
International Women’s Day reminds us that a more inclusive world is a more successful world. By hearing from leaders like Lisa, our students see firsthand that boundaries are meant to be pushed and that every student at our school has the potential to rewrite the record books. We are grateful to Lisa for sharing her time and her story with us, and we wish a happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women in our community.
Our campus was buzzing with energy this week as we opened our doors to prospective families for the Junior School Open Day. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our vibrant learning environment, but the true stars of the day weren’t the classrooms or the curriculum, they were our students.
Leading the way were our Year 6 students, who took on the vital role of official tour guides. Stepping into a leadership position can be daunting, yet these students handled it with remarkable poise. They didn’t just show guests where the Learning Hub was, they shared personal stories of their favourite projects, answered questions from parents, and navigated the campus with the confidence of seasoned professionals. Their ability to articulate what makes our school special was a testament to their growth and maturity.
At the front gates, our Year 5 helpers provided the first impression of the day. With bright smiles and “can-do” attitudes, they greeted every visitor, handed out programs, and made sure our guests felt at home from the moment they stepped onto the grounds. Their warmth and enthusiasm set the perfect tone for the entire event.
One prospective parent noted that they were incredibly impressed by the students, mentioning that they didn’t just seem to be reciting a script, but truly loved their school. A huge thank you to all the staff who helped coordinate the day, and a special round of applause for our student leaders.
Our Junior School is looking a little greener and a lot cleaner lately, thanks to a dedicated group of environmental stewards! Every Wednesday afternoon, members of our SOTWEG (Students of the World Ecology Group) gather for the ‘Caring for Country’ after-school club.
These students aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. From meticulously weeding our garden beds to ensuring our playgrounds are free of rubbish, their hard work is visible across the entire campus. However, their impact goes far beyond physical labor. They are the creative engines behind our school’s future sustainability. While you might see them with gloves and bags, the team is also busy brainstorming innovative ideas to improve our Junior School environment, looking for fresh ways to reduce waste and encourage biodiversity.
We want to extend a massive thank you to the students involved. Your time, commitment, and genuine passion for the environment are truly inspiring. You are leading by example and showing us all what it means to be responsible global citizens. We also share our sincere gratitude for Mr. Burns, whose leadership and guidance drive this group forward. Thank you for empowering our students to take ownership of their world!
We were delighted to host our very first Lunchtime Talk for 2026 with Talia Gusen, a Genetic Counsellor and Mum to Aaron, Year 6. Talia shared fascinating insights into her career, explaining how she helps families understand and navigate genetic risks and conditions. The boys learned about the intersection of science, communication, and empathy in this field. Talia also shared what makes us unique and how our family genes make up different aspects of us.
Talia also highlighted the unique aspects of each individual and how our inherited family genes contribute to various parts of who we are. Thank you for sharing your expertise and inspiring the next generation of scientists!
We offer all students in Years 5 and 6 the opportunity to attend Home Learning Club, a free after-school program designed to support the completion of home learning tasks.

NSW Cricket Team Selection
This week, Jack Buxton (6 Gold) competed at the NSWPSSA Cricket Championships, representing CIS on the outstanding grounds of the Campbelltown Ghosts Premier Cricket Club. CIS played tough, tenacious cricket throughout the tournament, and, from a highly competitive field of 168 players from across the state, Jack earned selection to represent NSW at the School Sport Australia Cricket Championships in Newcastle in October.
Swimming
Congratulations to our IPSHA Swim Team, who represented Waverley with pride at Tuesday’s IPSHA Swimming and Diving Carnival. 12 students from Years 5 and 6 attended Sydney Olympic Park on Tuesday and swam in several races and relays. Many ribbons were won and spirits were high as we competed against other IPSHA schools. Thank you to the parents and staff who supported them on the day and Go Waves!
After some practice competing at the Cranbrook Invitational and Brothers Invitational (hosted by Riverview), we couldn’t be prouder of how the boys showed up for IPSHA on the day. And thank you to the boys who stepped in to gain experience at the Invitationals.
Around the Grounds
In Round 3 of our Summer Sport Season, our teams are beginning to bond as a squad and develop their skills further after a few weeks of training under their coaches’ directions. Unfortunately the weather interrupted some sessions and games this week, but our boys did their best. Go Waves!
Recently, a few Waverley boys competed at the State Nippers carnival at Swansea yesterday (Friday 20th Feb). The day was a huge success and we are thrilled to share that Hugo Baumgartner won the under 10s boys relay, second year in a row! Jasper Close was also in his team of 4. So proud of these boys as they train 3 times a week and delivered the results for their club, Coogee Minnows.
Reminders
Today, students from Years 7 to 12 took part in our House Swimming and Activities Day.

The second gathering of the Social Cohesion Roundtable, an initiative spearheaded by Allegra Spender and the Together for Humanity Foundation, was recently hosted at Cranbrook School. The event was designed as a crucial forum for building understanding and collaborative action across Sydney’s diverse student body, following up on initial discussions from the 2025 session. The roundtable offered a vital opportunity for a broad range of participants, including boys and girls from various schools, diverse faith backgrounds, and different schooling sectors, to come together in a spirit of shared purpose.
A primary objective of the gathering was to discuss the outcomes of the first session. This review ensured that the new cohort of participants could leverage the insights and groundwork established previously. Crucially, the focus quickly shifted to collaborative group projects aimed at generating practical, student-led strategies for strengthening social harmony within their school and the broader community.
The group projects were strategically designed around key themes essential for a cohesive society. These included Being an Upstander, Building Connection and Support, and Practical Ways of Dealing with Difference, Conflict, and Stigma. This project equipped participants with conflict resolution skills and communication techniques to navigate disagreements respectfully and combat social stigma. The collective work from the roundtable is intended to produce actionable frameworks that can be implemented across participating schools, fostering a more inclusive and resilient student environment. These initiatives will be shared with principals at a roundtable event in May.
The following Year 12 students attended the event with Mr Allen:
Cy Preketes, Will Solomon, Lachlan Jones, William Elliott (as pictured left to right)
On behalf of our school community, I had the privilege of attending the official opening of the Lifeguards for Life 24-Hour Run/Swim Lifeline event at Clovelly Surf Life Saving Club today.
The opening ceremony commenced at 8:30am and brought together ministers, Members of Parliament, community leaders and other distinguished guests in support of this important initiative. The event highlights the vital connection between surf lifesaving, community wellbeing and the lifesaving work of Lifeline.
I was especially proud of our Walawaani students, who played a significant role in the ceremony. They respectfully supported the Smoking Ceremony and performed two of our cultural dances with confidence and pride. Their presence added great meaning to the occasion and was warmly received by all in attendance.
Thank you to the following Walawaani students for their involvement and representing the College;
Buddy Ross(Y8), Kai Mahoney(Y8), Aiden Matarangas(Y8), Brock Smith(Y10), Billy Beatson(Y10),
Joshua Raymond(Y10), Malakai Quinlan(Y11), Stirling Quinn(Y11), Aaron Hodge (Y12), Kai Towns(Y12),
This was a wonderful opportunity to showcase Waverley spirit and celebrate the strength of our Cultural Program on an important community stage. Our students represented the College with maturity, respect and enthusiasm, and they should be commended for the way they conducted themselves throughout the morning.
Over the weekend, the Commanding Officer of the Waverley College Army Cadet Unit Julie-Ann de Kantzow was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel (AAC), making her the first woman ever promoted to this rank in the New South Wales 2nd AAC Brigade within the Australian Army Cadets.
This well-deserved recognition reflects LTCOL (AAC) de Kantzow’s outstanding leadership, professionalism and unwavering commitment to developing young people through the Cadet program.
We congratulate LTCOL (AAC) de Kantzow on this significant achievement and thank her for the exceptional impact she continues to have on our cadet community.
This week on the Today show, rising Athletics star Lachlan Chappell (Y8) captured the nation’s attention with his extraordinary achievements on the track. The 13 year old powerhouse has stunned coaches and competitors alike after clocking an eye-catching 100 m time of 11.10 seconds, a mark recognised as a world age record in his category.
Lachlan’s journey to the spotlight hasn’t stopped there. In addition to his blistering sprint, he also made headlines for breaking a 47 year-old 400 m record in his age group, showcasing his versatility and endurance across sprint distances.
During his Today show appearance, Lachlan spoke with enthusiasm about his love for running, the support of his coaches and family, and his goals for the future.
For athletics fans and aspiring young athletes alike, Lachlan Chappell is quickly becoming a name to watch in Australian sport.
Watch Lachlan’s full interview here.

It has been an inspiring week at Waverley Junior School, marked by a sense of community and the formal recognition of our student leaders.
The highlight of the week was our special assembly to induct the 2026 Class Captains and Vice Captains. This event served as a formal recognition of you as leaders in the Junior School. It was a proud moment for the students and their families, acknowledging their commitment to the school spirit.
We were honoured to have College Captain Ben Cromer join us to share his reflections on leadership. Ben offered a grounded and relatable perspective, reminding students that “you do not need a badge to be a leader”. He emphasised that leadership is found in daily actions, noting that “every single one of you is a leader simply because you have an impact on the people around you, every day, even when you don’t intend it”.
Ben also spoke about the Year 12 motto for the year: Show Up. Stand Up. Lift Up and explained what these pillars mean for a Waverley student:
Perhaps the most resonant part of Ben’s speech was his reminder that life doesn’t start later in high school or university. Instead, “real life starts now… It starts with the choices you make today”. He encouraged the boys to focus on “how you treat people, the effort you put in and of course having fun along the way”.
He concluded with a simple but powerful lesson for our community: leadership can be as easy as saying “Hi” to someone. As Ben put it, “Kindness is free. It costs nothing, but changes everything and builds a great community”.
Congratulations again to our new leaders. We look forward to seeing how you choose to lead our school this year!

This week, our school community gathered for a moving Ash Wednesday Liturgy, marking the beginning of the Lenten season. It was a time of quiet contemplation as we reflected on our journey toward Easter and the ways we can grow in character and spirit over the next forty days.
A huge thank you to the students and staff who stepped forward to lead us in prayer and share their personal Lenten commitments. It takes courage to speak from the heart, and their reflections provided us all with much-needed inspiration:
Before our Lenten fast began, the campus was buzzing with the energy of Shrove Tuesday! A massive thank you to O’Connor House for their incredibly successful pancake sale.
Thanks to their hard work and our students’ appetites, they raised over $1,200 for the Caritas Compassion Project. This is an outstanding achievement that will go a long way in supporting those in need. Thank you to everyone who flipped, served, and donated!
It was wonderful to see so many families on campus and online for our Meet & Greet Interviews. The opportunity for parents to connect with teachers, share insights, and set collaborative goals for the term ahead ensures that every student is supported in reaching their full potential. Thank you for your continued partnership in making our school a thriving community.

Congratulations to all the Waverley students who recently competed in the NSW Oztag State Championships. Jackson Glenn (Year 5) and Walker Leondis (Year 6) represented the Souths 11 Boys Rep Team. After co captaining their team together to victory last year, they both returned this year with the same determination. Their efforts were phenomenal, and they both hugely contributed to their team being successful in securing their third consecutive NSW State Title. Winning three years in a row at such a competitive level with 35 rep teams in the age group is amazing! Well done boys.

Athletes will be timed and notified of their selection in our College team in the days following our carnival.
When: Wednesday 25th February (Week 5A)
Where: Waverley Park – meet at grass area between Birrell Street and synthetic field
Time: 7:15 am
Dress: Students participating may wear their sports uniform for the entire day
As with Run Club, students can eat their lunch upon returning to school.
Parents are more than welcome to attend and support their sons. Please complete this Google form to authorise your son to race in our invitational event.

Under 11’s – 3 laps or 3km
Under 12’s – 3 laps or 3km
At this week’s whole College Ash Wednesday Liturgy, Acting Director of Identity & Global Advocacy – Mr Tom Kennedy reflected on what Lent is to him.
Lent is not just a date on the Church calendar. It is an invitation to pause, to reflect, and to start again.
Today, each of us heard the words: “Repent, and believe in the Gospel.”
Those words are not meant to make us feel guilty. They are meant to wake us up. Lent is not about guilt, it is about growth. It is about asking ourselves honestly: Who am I called to be? Where is God guiding me?
Throughout Lent, we focus on three key pillars: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
First Pillar: Prayer
In a world full of noise – notifications, sport, study pressures, expectations, assessments, emails, and social media. Lent invites us to slow down.
We heard in today’s Psalm: “A clean heart create for me, and a steadfast spirit renew within me”
Prayer is about creating space in our hearts. It might be three minutes in the morning like it is for me. It might be a moment of gratitude for your loved ones before bed, like it is for me. It might be recognising the Holy Spirit going for a swim, or a jog outside in the sun, like it is for me. If you look, you’ll find your space, you’ll find your moments in the day, and you’ll be better for it.
Second Pillar: Fasting
Lent asks something deep, and vulnerable, and honest of us. What do I rely on too much? What distracts me? What habits don’t bring out the best in me? Fasting might mean giving up complaining, or talking negatively about people. We have a screen free week starting this week. Maybe that’s an opportunity to let go of something that we hold on to too tightly. Myself included. It is about learning self-discipline, choosing what truly matters.
Third Pillar, Almsgiving – Service.
Jesus tells us in Matthew’s Gospel, “When you pray… when you fast… when you give alms…” (Matthew 6:1–18) Notice He says when, not if. Service is not optional for Christians. It is part of who we are. Faith is not something we keep to ourselves. It moves us outward.
The 40 days of Lent mirrors Jesus’ 40 days in the desert. He stepped away from what was comfortable, faced temptation, and trusted in God. Sometimes our own challenges feel like deserts. Pressure, uncertainty, illness or injuries, friendship struggles, family stress, loss of a loved one or loneliness.
But we do not walk through Lent to stay in the desert. We walk through Lent towards Easter; towards new life and light.
That is why Lent matters. Reflection leads to growth. Sacrifice leads to freedom. The journey through the cross leads to light.
As a Waverley community, this is a time to reset our priorities. To strengthen our character. To live our faith in action. To become people who choose compassion over comparison; courage over comfort; and hope over fear.
On Shrove Tuesday, O’Connor House raised $1,250 for Project Compassion through the Senior School pancake fundraiser. Project Compassion is run by Caritas Australia and seeks to transform lives by bringing clean water, education, healthcare and opportunities to communities facing poverty and injustice.
Project Compassion donation boxes are also available at Reception, the Wellbeing Centre, and the Canteen for students to contribute throughout Lent.
Congratulations to our students who we celebrated at our Academic Reception last night to recognise significant achievements from Semester 2 last year. We welcomed guest speaker Chris Tembeleski, Founder of Rubix Learning. After starting his career in corporate finance at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Chris chose to pursue his passion for business and education instead.
He is a highly regarded educator and academic mentor who has guided over 850 students toward success in the HSC and beyond. Having also taught at the University of Sydney, Chris brings a unique perspective on the bridge between secondary school and tertiary success.
Reminder, Year 7-12 Parent/Student/Mentor meetings are on next Monday afternoon, 1.30-3.30pm. Senior school students finish at 1pm as they are expected where possible to join their parents for the zoom interviews.
The Waverley Youth Art Prize is open to youths aged between 9 and 18 who are living, studying and playing in Sydney’s East. Each year, artists are asked to respond to a theme, with broad artistic interpretation of this theme encouraged. Entrants may utilise ideas relating to popular culture, science fiction, sustainability or something else. All mediums and interpretations are welcome.
There are multiple prize categories, and the work of finalists is exhibited at the Waverley Library Galleries.
In 2026, we invite young creators to create artworks inspired by the theme ‘Dreaming Future Worlds’. This theme encourages innovation and creative freedom, with young artists envisaging surreal new realms that defy the rules of reality, devising fantastical inventions that change the way we live, or depicting their dreams for the future.
Applications must be submitted via their online application form by 5pm on Friday, 1 May 2026, with artworks delivered to Waverley Library between 9:30am–5pm on Friday, 22 May 2026. View terms and conditions here.
We are very proud of the following students who elected to spend part of their Summer holidays volunteering to help provide over 5,000 meals, snack packs, care packages and wrote heartfelt messages to support 15 charities across Sydney. Their kindness, empathy and willingness to show up for others made a real and tangible difference to vulnerable communities across Sydney.

If you would also like your son/s to experience meaningful opportunities to give back to disadvantaged people in our community, consider the Kids Giving Back Community Programs www.kidsgivingback.org.
Today, our Students of the World Ecology Group (SOTWEG) and Walawaani students hosted a heart-warming “Intergenerational Literacy & Sustainability” morning with 4-year-olds from St Mary’s Childcare. This vibrant and courageous expression of ethical citizenship saw our seniors reading ecology books to the children, who in turn sang a song to us in Dharawal language. During a colouring activity, our students explained the Walawaani Journey, fostering deep partnerships with the community.
The senior students were deeply engaged with the children, demonstrated through smiles, questions and conversations. By acting as mentors and inspired advocates, they helped model the “Justice and Solidarity” core to our mission. Our students reflected on how rewarding and meaningful the experience was, noting the profound impact that direct community action has on their perspective.
Parents and carers are reminded that they are able to access their child’s Canvas account as observers. This is to ensure that they have the most up-to-date information about assessment notifications, results and Learning Checkpoints feedback on an ongoing basis.
Please click on this link for a quick guide on how to access Canvas, how to manage notifications and how to navigate the system.
Year 11 students stepped away from their textbooks to tackle a different kind of challenge this week: navigating the confusing world of social media nutrition. We were pleased to host “The Biting Truth”, a session designed to help students dismantle the “filtered” and often misleading health trends that dominate their digital feeds.
Between viral “What I Eat in a Day” videos and conflicting influencer advice, it has never been harder for young people to identify what is actually healthy. This constant stream of mixed messages often leads to unnecessary stress, energy crashes, and a strained relationship with food. “The biting Truth” stripped away the jargon and provided Year 11 with practical tools grounded in science rather than aesthetics.
Students explored the “Power Pair” combining protein and complex carbohydrates to avoid the 3PM study slump and developed the media literacy needed to spot “red flag” advice online. Crucially, the session highlighted how stable nutrition directly supports mental health and stress management during the demanding senior years.
Our students walked away not with a “diet,” but with agency. By focusing on sustainable habits rather than restrictive trends, Year 11 is now better equipped to fuel their bodies for high performance, consistent moods, and long-term wellbeing.
We are excited to announce the save the date of our major fundraiser the Blue & Gold Ball, to be held on Saturday, 15 August 2026.
Last year’s Blue & Gold Ball was a sell-out success, raising valuable funds for our building fund. This year we hope to inspire a new generation of families to contribute to the first step in our Master Plan, the Science and Innovation Centre. This inspiring appeal sees Waverley College embarking on the largest-scale construction project in its history.
Get set for a spectacular night at the 2026 Blue & Gold Ball with pre-dinner drinks and canapés under the stars followed by a formal gala dinner, drinks and dancing, live music and auction items.
We are looking for event sponsors, raffle donations and auction items, please reach out to: foundation@waverley.nsw.edu.au if you would like to get involved.
Students are invited to take part in Learning to Be Heard, a global public speaking challenge launching alongside the new TED Summer School in partnership with Immerse Education.
Open to students aged 14-18, the challenge invites participants to submit a one-minute video responding to the thought-provoking question:
“If everyone in the world were listening to you for one minute, what idea would you share, and why?”
Designed as a structured super-curricular opportunity, the challenge encourages students to develop and communicate an original idea with clarity, purpose and confidence. The focus is not on prior public speaking experience, but on clarity of thought, strong structure and sound judgement.
Outstanding submissions will be considered for full or partial scholarships to attend the TED Summer School, with programmes available in London, New York, Singapore or online.
Why take part
Deadline: 26 February 2026
Students can register to receive the challenge guide and full submission details HERE.
This is a wonderful opportunity for students to explore their voice, engage with big ideas and develop valuable skills in communication and critical thinking.
It was a great pleasure to welcome back so many Old Boys for our annual Old Boys Muster, a celebration of the generations of Waverlians who have shaped the life and spirit of our College.
From our most senior alumnus in attendance from the Class of 1955 to our newest graduates of the Class of 2025, the evening reflected the enduring bonds and shared pride that unite our community. With more than 100 Old Boys gathered on the rooftop of the Centenary Building, it was wonderful to see both familiar faces and those attending for the first time.
I had the opportunity to provide an update on the College’s progress, including our entry into the Top 100 HSC rankings at 83rd in the state, along with recent successes in debating and athletics. These achievements are built upon the strong foundations laid by those who came before us.
Importantly, I also shared plans for our new Science & Innovation Centre, a transformational project that will enhance contemporary teaching and learning at Waverley. Through the leadership of our Foundation Manager, Billy Nicolas, the Foundation is working closely with our community to secure the philanthropic support needed to bring this vision to life. It is encouraging to see Old Boys taking an active interest in shaping the College’s future.
I thank WCOBU President Salvatore Riolo and his executive for their continued partnership, and we look forward to welcoming our community again at Back to Queens Park Day in May.

What a day at the pool! Today’s swimming carnival wasn’t just about the fastest times or the cleanest dives, it was a powerful display of what our students are made of. From the first whistle to the final relay, the energy was electric.
Throughout the day, we saw our values in action as students displayed incredible resilience, compassion for others and perseverance. Whether it was diving back in after a difficult heat or pushing through those grueling final meters, the mental toughness on display was inspiring.
Beyond the physical effort, the respect and sportsmanship on display were second to none. From cheering loudly for teammates to offering a hand to rivals in the next lane, the mutual respect between houses was the true highlight of the event. It was a reminder that while we compete hard, we remain a supportive and unified community.
A big congratulations to Quinn House for winning the carnival, and to every boy who attended the carnival today, be proud of yourself. You represented your house and your school with heart. To the staff who made the day run smoothly, thank you for your tireless support, and thank you to our parents who attended too. Dry off, rest up, and let’s carry this same momentum into the rest of the term.
Next week, we will be holding 10 minute parent/student/teacher interviews. This will provide you with the opportunity to meet your son’s classroom teacher and discuss any questions you may have and/or set goals for the year.
Year 6 will be held between 12 pm – 4:30 pm on Thursday 19 February
Year 5 will be held between 12 pm – 4:30 pm on Friday 20 February
Please remember to book a time with your class teacher via the Parent Lounge. Everyone will be sent a Zoom link closer to the interview date, however you have the option to have your interview via Zoom or face-to-face.
We offer all students in Years 5 and 6 the opportunity to attend Home Learning Club, a free after-school program designed to support the completion of home learning tasks. These afternoon sessions also provide a quiet, supervised environment for students who wish to complete their home learning activities.
Home Learning Club runs from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm, Monday to Thursday, during school term time. Please note that the club will not operate on days when a scheduled Professional Development meeting is taking place.
Procedures

Reminders
Junior School Cross Country Trials from Mr McKimm
Dear Parents and Carers,
The Waverley College Junior School holds an internal Cross Country race. This is to help select our long-distance runners to represent Waverley at a higher level.
This invitation-only race is not a ‘carnival’, and boys should only consider entering if they have aspirations to be selected to race at representative carnivals. This would require students to know they can run competitive times for the set distances.
Athletes will be timed and notified of their selection in our College team in the days following our carnival.
When: Wednesday 25th February (Week 5A)
Time: 7:15 am
Dress: Students participating may wear their sports uniform for the entire day
As with Run Club, students can eat their lunch upon returning to school.
Parents are more than welcome to attend and support their sons. Please complete this Google form to authorise your son to race in our invitational event.
Under 10’s – 2 laps or 2km
Under 11’s – 3 laps or 3km
Under 12’s – 3 laps or 3km

Congratulations to our Year 7s who navigated their first Senior School outdoor education experience to Somerset Outdoor Learning Centre. Somerset is located about 90 minutes North-West of Sydney on the Colo River (known as the last pristine river in NSW). The Centre operates from a central Base Camp which services over 40km of the Colo Valley.
The boys participated in a number of activities including canoeing, rafting, abseiling, hiking, cooking, obstacle course, rock climbing and the wombat hole challenge. It is a wonderful opportunity for our year 7s to connect with nature, each other and challenge themselves in an outdoor environment.
Last week we launched our reading program in Year 7 and Year 8. We are very excited to welcome all classes to the library once a cycle to experience the luxury of reading a great book of their choice in this beautiful space. Everyone knows the positive effects: improved brain power, memory and creativity, building vocabulary, and developing empathy.
We encourage you to take time to chat with your sons about the books they are reading and encourage even ten minutes of reading at home as part of a healthy reading diet. All students also have access to the platform Beanstack, designed to make reading fun!
Beanstack uses competition, recognition, and proven gamification principles to motivate students to read and develop a life-long love of reading. By tracking their daily reading, students build healthy reading habits and become more confident readers. Building on last year’s success with Beanstack challenges, we will continue to run our Reading Challenges throughout the year where students can earn points and win prizes.
Here is our 2026 Recommended Reading List Our fiction and non-fiction recommendations aim to inspire, engage, and spark curiosity. We have also included suggestions for staff and parents to enjoy. Together, let’s commit to encouraging just 10 minutes a day immersed in a wonderful book.
Everybody Has a Book Campaign
As you know, ‘Screen-Free Week’ will take place from 19th to 25th February, spanning Weeks 4 and 5 of Term 1. In conjunction, we will be running our Everybody Has a Book Campaign. All students will be required to carry a reading book with them throughout the school day. This campaign reinforces the importance of having constant access to quality literature and encourages students to use any free moments for reading. We will provide students with the opportunity to visit the school library to borrow a book, or students can bring a book from home.
How Can You Support This Initiative?
Parents and carers exert the single most powerful influence on their son’s reading habits. Here’s how you can help:
This campaign represents our commitment to providing a balanced, research-informed education that prepares students not just for digital literacy, but for deep thinking and creativity. We believe that by temporarily stepping away from screens and into the world of books, our students will gain valuable skills and perspectives that will enhance their overall educational experience.
We appreciate your support in making the ‘Everybody Has a Book’ campaign a success.

Important reminders for students:
Opal Card Compliance
It is important that students ‘tap on and off with their School Opal Card or Child/Youth Opal Card every time when using public transport. This is so that Transport for NSW can understand customer travel patterns and adjust the services provided, if necessary. It is also a condition of the Student Code of Conduct.
If students do not meet these criteria for a School Opal Card, click here for details, they will need to carry a Child/Youth Opal card with funds loaded onto it. If a student’s School Opal Card has expired or been damaged, lost or stolen, please visit transportnsw.info/school-travel-apply to reapply.
Transport NSW will continue to conduct random visits to school bus stops to reinforce this message to students throughout the year.
Waverley Old Boy and Foundation Patron Sir Peter Cosgrove and Lady Lynne Cosgrove, alongside Wallaby legends and Old Boys Owen Finegan and Morgan Turinui, recently celebrated their generous support of the Waverley College Foundation by hosting the exclusive lunch awarded to last year’s Blue & Gold Ball winning bidders.
Held at an exclusive Sydney club and thoughtfully organised by Sir Peter, the gathering offered guests a rare opportunity to spend quality time with these respected members of the Waverley community, hearing reflections on their years at the College and the journeys that shaped their successful careers. Rugby naturally featured in the conversation, alongside many memorable behind-the-scenes stories. Adding to the occasion, Morgan generously gifted a jersey signed by all Wallaby players from the recent Lions series – a special surprise that was greatly appreciated by the winners.
We also extend our sincere thanks to current parents Domenic Welfare and Nadia Kemp for their valued support. Every contribution helps advance the much-needed construction of the new Science & Innovation Centre.
With $2.8 million raised towards our $10 million target, we encourage our community to continue supporting this transformative project as we move closer to laying the first brick. To learn how you can help, please contact Foundation Manager Billy Nicolas – bnicolas@waverley.nsw.edu.au
Premier’s Anzac Memorial Scholarship 2026
It has recently been announced that the Premier’s Anzac Memorial Scholarship (PAMS) will once again be offered this year to some exceptional high school history students in NSW. Up to 18 NSW high school students will be selected to take part in a study tour of Greece and Crete, visiting historic sites linked to Australia’s military service during the Second World War.
The Premier’s Anzac Memorial Scholarship (PAMS) offers History and Modern History students a unique opportunity to deepen their understanding of Australia’s wartime experiences and reflect on the courage and sacrifice of Australian servicemen and servicewomen. The tour will include significant locations such as the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery at Phaleron, the Hellenic War Museum, and the battlefields of Thermopylae and Thebes, as well as key sites in Crete including the 6th Australian Division Memorial, Rethymno, and Souda Bay War Cemetery.
Previous scholarship recipients have described the experience as life changing, highlighting the strong sense of connection felt while visiting historic battlefields and memorials.
The 2026 tour will take place during the Term 3 school holidays, departing on 26 September and returning on 8 October 2026.
Applications close on Monday, 9 March 2026, with students required to submit a five-minute multimedia presentation, a school recommendation, and parent consent.
For more information and to apply, visit the Premier’s Anzac Memorial Scholarship page.
As we begin a new school year, we would like to re-share information about the Therapy Dogs who occasionally join our School Psychology team to support the health and wellbeing of students within the Waverley College community.
Waverley College is fortunate to have two Therapy Dogs:
Both Koda and Mabel are approved Therapy Dogs who have demonstrated a suitable temperament, high levels of manners, and strong impulse control, making them appropriate to work with children within a school environment. Their handlers have demonstrated appropriate animal handling skills and a strong awareness of animal welfare, supporting safe and positive interactions within the College setting.
Research continues to acknowledge the positive impact animals have on our health and wellbeing. Through the development of the human animal bond (HAB), we can experience reductions in blood pressure, increased oxytocin levels (associated with love and bonding), a reduction in cortisol levels (stress hormone) among many other beneficial physiological and emotional responses.
The presence of Koda and Mabel within the school environment is intended to support student engagement, assist with social skill development, and aid with self-regulation and calming, among many other benefits.
Interacting with Koda and/or Mabel is completely voluntary. A Risk Management Plan is in place, however we appreciate that some parents/carers may still have concerns about their child’s interaction with an animal within the Waverley College environment. Accordingly, we have prepared a ‘Meeting Waverley Therapy Dogs – Opt Out’ form for parents/carers who would like to exercise this choice.
We encourage you to take the time to:
Body Safe Parent Workshop – FREE
Waverley council will be hosting an interactive Body Safe Workshop that will give you the tools and language to help children foster healthy relationships, build their self-esteem and keep them safe. Tools that guide us about consent are important and something that can be used in our everyday lives. This can help kids learn about personal boundaries, body autonomy, and respecting others’ choices.
Date: Tuesday, March 10
Venue: Online
Time: 6 – 8 pm
Cost: Free register here
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.
