All students are invited to join the Waverley College Choir. Rehearsals normally run on Friday mornings at 7:30am in the PAC Recital Room. However, due to current COVID-19 restrictions, rehearsals will be split into separate cohorts for the first five weeks of Term 1.
The College Choir is engaged throughout the year to sing at many College events, College liturgies, masses and concerts. Over the last 10 years, the Choir has participated in several overseas tours, performing in Germany and Italy. Students also have the opportunity to attend a Music Camp and to participate in performances across the wider community.
No audition or prior singing experience is required – all students are welcome to join.

In 2022, we are continuing to plan for the future, as we look to further develop and deliver projects for enhanced, 21st-century learning facilities. As part of that process, we need to understand how our students travel to school, so that infrastructure and facilities are appropriately scoped and planned.
To aid us with this, we ask Senior School parents to complete a short survey regarding travel to school habits, and what future measures the College could adopt. The survey will take only 5-10mins to complete, and I thank you in advance for taking part.

A big thank you to all parents who have generously donated their sons’ outgrown uniforms to the Secondhand Clothing Pool. This provides someone else with the opportunity to purchase a secondhand uniform well below the new price, whilst at the same time, raising funds for the College through the Parents’ Association.
We are slowly rebuilding stock levels, and are so pleased to be able to offer some more items for sale. Email clothingpool@waverley.nsw.edu.au to check on stock and for the next opening time.
The Secondhand Clothing Pool will gladly accept the donation of all clean and wearable current uniform items for resale. There is a $30 ‘buy back scheme’ for the donation of Blazers and All Weather Jackets in excellent condition.
Due to current restrictions for parents, we are still working mostly through email contact (see email details below) and over the phone.
We have a variety of sizes in each house colour, $10 each, ready for the College swimming carnival.

Waverley College Year 12 students have been given the opportunity to attend the award-winning RYDA Road Safety Education workshop (COVIDSafe measures will apply). RYDA is designed for 16-17 year olds as they begin to drive or ride in cars driven by their peers.
This workshop, which supports classroom learning as part of a broader program, provides students with the tools, habits and motivation to take action and stay safe on our roads, throughout their lives, as both drivers and passengers. Students do not need to have their license to take part in the workshop.
This is the perfect time in students’ lives to engage in this program, as it addresses, in a real and practical way, the many dangers and challenges young people face on our roads. In small groups, students work with facilitators to develop and practise personalised strategies and life skills, which will help them make positive choices, both as drivers and highly influential passengers.
The workshop combines personal stories, demonstrations and interactive activities to ensure that students are engaged during the sessions. Information regarding the RYDA excursion is detailed below.
Date: Monday, 7 February, 2022
Venue: Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre
Depart from school: 8:15am
Return to school: 3:10pm
Cost: $55.10 per student (charged to your account)
Yes. Please complete the permission slip below before Monday, 7 February.
