St Catherine’s Muscial Moana

The students were absolutely outstanding and performed at a high level. It was a wonderful co-educational experience for our students as well as preparing them for our own musical.

They were able to see the finished product of a musical and all that it entails. Our students represented Waverley so well and were a wonderful audience.

Congratulations Oliver Simpkin!

Oliver’s work is currently on exhibition on level 2 of Customs House, Circular Quay.

Well done to Charlie and Marley who can be very proud of this wonderful achievement.

Athletics Carnival

Our 2024 Junior School Athletics Carnival will be held on Friday, 16 August. Students will be bussed to and from Sylvania Waters Athletics Track for an exciting day of track and field events.

Parents are welcome to spectate and can take their sons home at the conclusion of the carnival by signing out with his classroom teacher.

Please read all the information in Parent Lounge > Events and Payments > JS: 2024 Athletics Carnival and action the permission slip here too.

We are looking forward to an exciting day of Athletics house spirit, races and field events!

Year 6 Camp

We held a student meeting last Thursday, 1 August to explain the ins and outs of Year 6 Camp 2024 and can see how excited Year 6 is becoming for our camp on Monday, 19 August – Wednesday, 21 August.

While we are so enthusiastic about Camp and all the joys it brings, we understand that there can be some anxiety around it.

Please ensure your sons that we will have a fun, safe Camp where they can enjoy getting to know others in the grade, face challenges in the activities, have fun outdoors, and spend quality time with their Waverley mates.

Please access the Parent Lounge to action the permission slip and remember to respond to the Collaroy Centre email with any dietary requirements (even if there are none for your son, you still need to submit the form).

FunRun

We have launched our Junior School FunRun this week and boy, are our students excited! We are fundraising for 4 special charities: Educating the Future, RUOK?, Indigenous Literacy Foundation and Edmund Rice Camps. In 2022, the Junior School raised over $100,000 for the FunRun and Educating the Future was one of our charities. They have since built their fifth pre-school in Timor Leste with the funds.

Please help your son sign up to the FunRun and set up his fundraising page HERE here.

Please mark your calendars – we will be holding our Big Show Colour Run on Wednesday, 25 September at Waverley Park!

Home Learning Week 4

We offer all students in Year 5 and Year 6 the opportunity to receive free additional support after school for the completion of home learning tasks.

The afternoon sessions also provide a quiet, supervised study space for students who want to complete their assigned tasks.

Home Learning Club operates in the Learning Hub from 3pm until 4pm – Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays – during school term unless there is a scheduled Professional Development meeting and the club will be closed.

Procedures

Only register his name once to allow other students the opportunity to attend. The session is limited to 20 spots. There will be a roll call to ensure attendance.

Students are required to stay for the full session unless there is a message in the student diary requesting early leave, a parent’s signature will be required.

Behaviour

As it is important to respect the rights of others to learn and work, all students are expected to settle to work in the Learning Hub and not cause a disturbance for others.

Teachers

An important note to remember, if afternoon training sessions are cancelled, unfortunately you cannot send your son to Home Learning as an alternative plan, students are registered for the afternoon sessions in advance and the capacity is always reached.

All ICAS exams will be sat before school in the Learning Hub. Please ensure that your son has a charged laptop and he is on time for each ICAS exam.

LEGO Club

The LEGO Club’s Olympic-themed session was a success, sparking enthusiasm, critical thinking and creativity among the boys. The boys constructed various Olympic-inspired builds, from miniature stadiums to athlete figures & podiums.

The Olympic theme provided a perfect setting for collaborative building and friendly competition. The boys recreated iconic Olympic sports like diving, soccer, rock climbing, shooting and tennis using LEGO bricks. Some even attempted to build intricate structures like the Olympic rings & Eiffel Tower.

LEGO club not only fosters collaboration among the boys but also new friendships. The photos speak for themselves!

Book Week 2024

In Week 5 we will be celebrating Book Week at the Junior School. The theme this year is Reading is Magic.

Writing Workshop

Your son will take part in a fun and engaging writing workshop that will encourage critical and creative thinking while working collaboratively in a small group to produce part of an imaginative text, which in turn will be part of a book.

I am looking forward to working with Year 5 on Wednesday, 21 August and Year 6 on Thursday, 22 August.

Book Week Guest Author Reece Carter

Reece Carter will be Waverley’s guest author for Book Week on Friday, 23 August.

Reece is an up-and-coming author who fell in love with writing stories when he was a young reader himself, Reece wants to help the next generation of storytellers reach into the quirkiest corners of their imaginations, so they might dream up characters and larger-than-life stories of their own.

Reece’s visit aims to inspire students to grow their imaginations – and to think big!

Pre-loved, Pop-up Bookshop

An essential aspect of supporting your son with his reading is to allow him to make his own book choices. The Pop-up Bookshop will be running in Week 4 on Thursday, 15 August and on Monday, 19 August.

This year I would like to continue with a sustainable and cost-effective Pop-up Bookshop.

If you would like to help with this initiative I would like you to donate pre-loved books that will be sold a very reduced amount. The amounts raised will be donated to one of the Edmund Rice foundations.

Geography Excursion to Chinatown

On Monday, Year 6 went to Chinatown in the city. After walking through the plaza in Dixon Street, we visited The Chinese Garden of Friendship at Darling Harbour.

We learnt a lot on things about Chinese culture, including that green is known as a colour of protection and red is known as a colour of luck. We also learned that the green roofs on buildings protect us from bad spirits.

We all had lots of fun looking at all the trees, buildings, art, and even the Koi fish. We are appreciative of our tour guide George for teaching and engaging with us on the day.

At the assembly I congratulated them on facing their challenges head-on, working through doubts and setbacks, and demonstrating an unwavering commitment to their goals.

Their achievements are not just about the accolades they have received but about the effort, resilience, and courage they have shown along the way.

NAPLAN results

Parents of Year 5, 7 and 9 students should have received your son’s NAPLAN results in the post. The results have been set to four new band levels this year: Needs Additional Support, Developing, Strong and Exceeding.

Science Week Next Week!

Our Science department has organised two special guest speakers who will be sharing their experiences with students at lunchtime next week.

Waverley’s Winter Appeal Supporting Matthew Talbot Hostel and Homelessness

The winter period is particularly difficult for those in our society experiencing homelessness. Waverley is having a Winter donation drive during Weeks 3, 4 and 5 from 5-29 August to support the Matthew Talbot Hostel in Woolloomooloo. You can get behind this appeal by donating toiletry items, home starter kit items and warm clothing.

2024 Non-Government Schools Census

The Australian Government requires certain information about non-government schools, staff and students to ensure that funding is calculated and managed correctly.

Academic Awards Years 7-9 Assembly

This week we continued our celebration of our high achieving students in our Academic Awards Assembly for students in Years 7-9 who have ranked highly in their courses. Congratulations to all award winners!

We were also privileged to be an audience for performances in Drama and Music. We were treated to a performance from some of our Year 7 Drama students who shared the excellent work that they are currently refining on James and the Giant Peach.

Performing his own arrangement of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’, composed by John Powell on the piano, we congratulate Aidan Murray in Year 12 for his amazing recital.

As students are settling into Term 3, over the next few weeks they will have opportunities across many of their subjects to engage in feedback from formative tasks in their Learning Checkpoints.

The reflection and goal-setting activities in these tasks are designed to assist our students to tighten their Term 3 SMART goals, be aware of their progress and understand where to adjust their approach in future tasks.

We challenge our students to reflect on this feedback and strive to walk across the stage at the end of Semester 2 for their academic growth, performance and effort.

Authentic Experiences

Throughout the year, our teachers work hard to organise and provide real-world excursions and activities to engage our students in authentic learning experiences.

Just in the last two weeks our Year 10 Visual Arts students have had a session on mixed media with Jody Graham, Year 11 Drama students have been to the Roslyn Packer Theatre to watch a production of Dracula, our Year 8 Spanish students had an authentic Spanish food experience, and some of our Year 9 students competed at the Stretch and Challenge competition at Ascham School to name but a few.

Next week sees the launch of Science Week. Please read Ms Emily Pace’s article HERE for further details.

Year 11 Atomi Presentation

For students in Year 11 who are building up their study notes leading up to their Yearly Examinations at the end of this Term, a representative from Atomi – a valuable online resource to support the HSC across a range of subjects – offered training this week to help our students use the platform well.

Whilst many courses embed Atomi modules in their online content on CANVAS, the platform also offers resources to assist students in building effective study notes, managing work overload and preparing for assessment periods.

For example, the presentation this week drew our students’ attention to an online lesson on how to build effective Cornell Study notes.

As I mentioned in our assembly last week, getting an early start on note-taking as students go, rather than waiting until the last minute, is an effective way to ensure the effective repetition and retrieval of key course material.

For additional study advice, please head to Dr Prue Salter’s Study Skills website, which is constantly updated with relevant resources to support students and parents.

Sidgwick Prize

Waverley College students have been invited to submit an entry to The Sidgwick Prize.

The Sidgwick Prize, Cambridge is an annual essay competition for high-school aged students from around the world. Each year students can choose to respond to an essay question from a list of three questions in eight disciplines: Philosophy, Politics, Economics, History, Law, Theology, Psychology, and Art History.

Every submission receives substantive feedback from academic specialists, including Faculty at the University of Cambridge.

A prize is awarded for the best essay in each discipline and The Sidgwick Prize is awarded to the best essay in all disciplines.

The Sidgwick Prize supports the work of The Sidgwick Trust, a campaign to expand access to the humanities and social sciences.

Last week we posted the Year 5, Year 7 and Year 9 students’ NAPLAN results to parents and carers.

These results provide great information about areas in which the students performed well and those items where additional work is needed.

Feedback to parents and students is an opportunity to reflect on student success.

During this Term, Heads of Department and key staff from the Curriculum Team will be analysing these results in detail to further develop our programming in the areas of Literacy and Numeracy.

Some highlights this year include a trend upwards in Year 5 students’ average scores in Reading, Grammar and Numeracy. The Waverley College Year 9 Inferential Reading Program, focusing on metacognition and self-regulation to strengthen inferential reading, is showing pleasing student growth indicated in the highest average Reading scores in a number of years. Average Reading Scores are sitting above State average: 35 – 36 score points above average in Year 5 and Year 7 and 18 score points above average in Year 9.

Since 2019, Writing scores at Waverley have increased and the move to the Writer’s Toolbox program has shown students’ writing develop exceptionally well. With the benefit of AI real-time feedback, students’ sentence and paragraph writing is more sophisticated as they have the ability to progress at their own pace. Writing is trending upwards and, this year, each Waverley cohort has performed at 16 score points or more above State average across Years 5, 7 and 9.

Spelling has been identified as an area for development. Students are entering Year 5 with weaker spelling ability than in prior years; a trend that is consistent across the State. To start turning this trend around, streamed spelling lessons and tailored programs, including Spelling Mastery, are timetabled for all Year 7 students to instil a more sophisticated knowledge of word morphology.

Grammar and Punctuation scores are trending upwards in Year 7 and are steady in Year 9, with a healthy 20 score points above average.

Numeracy Scores are 31 score points above average in Year 7 and Year 9. Programs, such as Strength in Numbers and Learning Support in-class assistance help to continue sound results in Numeracy.

On Wednesday, 31 July, Year 11 Drama students were lucky enough to attend a showing of the Sydney Theatre Company’s newly adapted depiction of Bram Stoker’s much-adapted 1897 novel, “Dracula”.

Dracula, which debuted in early July to rave reviews, is whatSTC Artistic Director Kip Williams likes to call ‘cine-theatre’, an ambitious mash-up of live performance and live and pre-recorded video. This style of self-proclaimed ‘cine-theatre’ is Kip Williams’ speciality, as he previously utilised the same attributes of theatre and film in his productions The Picture of Dorian Gray and Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

These productions astounded audiences and critics alike with their innovative cine-theatre live video techniques that closely engaged audience members.

Dracula was a phenomenal production that was incredibly engaging and entertaining. Actress Zahra Newman performs all 23 roles in the play, from the vampire-hunter, Professor Van Helsing, to the mysterious titular count of the play. She puts on an incredibly transformative performance as she employs a variety of techniques to differentiate the varied characters she portrays, her subtle acting choices allow her to shape-shift between all roles
using only wigs, costumes and her extraordinary voice and physicality.

Newman carries this production on her back as she adapts spectacularly to the intense requirements of the show. It is a masterclass of acting within the two-hour runtime of the production. Assisting Zahra Newman in bringing these characters to life is the fabulous costume department which provides intricate appearances that add to the play’s gothic atmosphere. However, despite all the wonderful costumes seen, I felt the costume and look of the titular character felt off and disconnected from the rest of the play.

For example, the red wig that Dracula wears felt somehow incongruous in the interactions between he and other characters, and ended up being quite distracting. However, elements such as this are easy to forgive.

Alongside the acting chops put on display by Zahra Newman, are the spectacular technical elements of the play. The so-called ‘cine-theatre’ is performed expertly, as Williams takes you through the harrowing tale of Count Dracula and his hunters. The different elements of production, namely the live and pre-recorded film are incredible to witness and immerse you immediately.

The play achieves a captivating degree of world-building with minimal props and items on stage. The narrative voice often shifts from character to character to progress the story. Whilst this effect is effective for a majority of the time, it does become difficult at times to stay on track, as Newman weaves in between different character perspective.

The technical aspects of the moving screens and the implementation of their recording is unlike anything that you’ve seen before. The pre-recorded film is used with live vision as Newman interacts with herself playing multiple characters, conversing and exchanging, building the tension. The musical soundscape provided by the composer is always present, always evocative and menacing.

Overall, the Drama students thoroughly enjoyed the excursion and were grateful for the opportunity to watch both an intriguing interpretation of a classic novel and a style of theatre that is unique.

Term 3

Beyond

Weekly Careers Newsletter – Term 3 Week 2 2024

Last week our Year 8 boys were taken on a culinary journey to Spain without leaving school! All students took part in an exciting Spanish incursion as students start their new module – Food and eating out – and it wouldn’t be fair to do a unit on food without trying some ourselves!

As the students gathered in the school courts, the air was filled with the irresistible aroma of traditional Spanish cuisine. Students had fun brainstorming session together and raced to complete their Spanish trivia in small groups. Competition was rife to say the least! All while Spanish chefs prepared their plato principal and postre for the day.

After a small delay due to cyclonic winds, the iconic paella, (a dish so colourful and flavorful it could only be described as a feast for both the eyes and the palate) was ready. The excitement was palpable, with many exclaiming how they had never tried paella before. The combination of flavours was a hit, and requests for a second plate came hard and fast, even before students had finished.

The students quickly inhaled the vibrant hues of saffron-infused rice, succulent pieces of chicken, seafood, and a medley of fresh vegetables. The paella was served in a traditional large, shallow pan – paellera, roughly the diameter of your average Year 8 student. Each serving was accompanied by a sprinkling of fresh herbs and a generous squeeze of lemon, adding the perfect finishing touch.

The students were then treated to churros. Watching the churros being made right before their eyes was a real treat. And of course, no churro would be complete without a velvety chocolate dipping sauce.

Throughout the incursion, it was clear that the students were not just enjoying the food, but also learning about the cultural significance behind each dish. The Spanish presenters shared interesting anecdotes and insights into how these traditional foods are enjoyed in Spain whilst students waited to be served, adding depth to the students’ appreciation of the cuisine.

The Year 8 Spanish incursion was a resounding success. The boys left with full bellies and happy hearts, having not only sampled delicious Spanish fare but also gained a greater understanding of Spanish culture. ¡Olé!

It is an expectation that all students will complete their Year 12 studies at Waverley College.

When a student leaves Waverley in Year 12, they are expected to return all Waverley College equipment including laptop, charger and textbooks. In previous years we have had a significant number of students who fail to return laptop devices or other items of school issued equipment and as such we hold a Continuation Deposit to offset the cost to the College.

Textbooks are recycled at the College and returned laptops are shipped back to the leasing company at the end of Year 12. Unreturned laptops are unusable as they become locked after leaving in Year 12. All students who return all equipment will receive their deposit back in full.

Continuing deposits vary depending on the student start date, or when the Enrolment Contract was signed. Some of our Year 10 cohort will have paid the Continuation Deposit at the time of enrolment, others have been recently notified that the payment is going to be applied to their Term 3, 2024 Fees.

If the student is studying VET courses and is expected to leave before the end of Year 12, or if the student has planned on leaving the College before the end of Year 12, they are still able to receive the deposit back by notifying the Finance Department at schoolfees@waverley.nsw.edu.au and returning all College equipment on departure.

Walawaani x Waverley Council Reconciliation Week Art Project – Art Exhibition

On Thursday 1 August, our Walawaani students visited the Waverley Council Library to view their artworks on display at the gallery. This was a wonderful morning for Parents, Carers, our College Leadership Team and Council members to view these incredible artworks.

These artworks displayed the theme of Reconciliation Week ‘Now, More Than Ever’, our students’ Country and our local community & area.

These artworks will still be on display for the weekend and then will be returning to school for display.

Year 12 Formal – Tickets on Sale tonight 6pm

The Year 12 Formal will take place on Thursday, 22 August 2024 at The Australian Turf Club, Randwick.

You are invited to attend an evening with Digital Resilience Expert, Yasmin London. She will be presenting on the latest online trends, social media dynamics, gaming landscapes, and pertinent research and legislation affecting children and families in the digital world. Yasmin’s insights promise to be both enlightening and essential for understanding the digital environment our children navigate daily.

Ask Izzy – Resource for Young People

Ask Izzy is an interactive website run by a not-for-profit organisation, Infoxchange.

The website is aimed specifically at providing young people with customised resources if they need help with support/counselling, food, housing, money, domestic/family violence, everyday needs, health, advice/advocacy and work/learning. It is free and anonymous, with thousands of services listed across Australia. And if a young person is on the Telstra or Vodafone mobile networks, they can access Ask Izzy on their phone even if they don’t have credit or access to wifi.

It is regularly updated and seeks to provide access to resources that are local to the young person engaging with their website.

Student-Led Information Evening, Tuesday 3 September

On Tuesday, 3 September from 6:30pm-7:30pm, our Year 12 College Leaders are welcoming students from Years 8-10 and their parents/carers to attend an information evening about Alcohol and Addiction, Healthy Habits, Positive Relationships and Technology Usage.

Raising Teenage boys

Today, instead of sharing content on how to deal with anxiety or discussing some other psychological viewpoints, we’d like to offer a friendly and non-judgmental reminder: spend more quality 1:1 time with your teenage son.

Raising a teenage boy often involves a tug-of-war between their desire for more freedom and your (often justified) concerns about their maturity to handle it. This conflict usually leads to interactions centred around guiding them, setting boundaries, and establishing rules. Over the years, these interactions can overshadow the precious moments spent simply enjoying each other’s company without any agenda.

It’s also challenging with teenage boys, as they often claim they don’t want to spend time with you. Despite their efforts to appear independent, they do appreciate these moments together.

If you’re open to this reminder, consider finding an activity you both might enjoy—whether it’s a dinner, movie, exhibition, sporting event, or something more active. Ask him openly if he would like to join you, explaining that you just want to spend some 1:1 time together with no strings attached. If he says no, don’t take it personally; it’s not a reflection on you. Simply accept it and try again in a week or two. If he agrees, cherish this time together and resist the urge to bring up any concerns when his guard is down. Remember, parenting is a long game. By consistently creating these opportunities for trust and connection, you’ll likely find him more willing to engage with you in the future.
