The school production, Tartuffe, is coming up next Term and the cast have been rehearsing all Term in preparation for this hilarious play. Actors Luke Crosson, Matt Frost and Michaela Chamberlain share some of their thoughts on their characters and the rehearsal process:
“My character, Orgon, is having a mid-life crisis and seeking a new path of meaning, however this is negatively impacting on everyone he loves. I like how Orgon believes everything he’s doing is right, but with hindsight he’s destroying his family. The most memorable part of our rehearsals are building new skills, meeting new people, making new friendships.” Luke Crosson
“I like playing Tartuffe, because who doesn’t like playing a villain? Everything Tartuffe does is wrong but no one can do anything about it. I can just be totally repellent and its fun to be playing a manipulative character who gets a lot of laughs. I just finished performing in a production from another school and now it’s really fun to be a part of a production at Waverley.” Matt Frost
“Elmire really wants to do the right thing. She sees Tartuffe is trying to manipulate everyone and turning Orgon against his children. She really wants to amend things and get the family back. I enjoy the experience of being in this play. It’s very fun to do productions at other schools and great to be part of a cast and see how the play develops.” Michaela Chamberlain
Last week our Student Leadership group met with 20 other students from a variety of schools for our annual Prefect Afternoon Tea. We were privileged to have Ms Kate Miranda the NSW Director of Red Cross, address the students outlining her leadership journey. Kate stressed the importance of learning throughout the different leadership opportunities you may be presented with and having a passion to make a difference.
Students then shared their leadership initiatives and challenges in groups and enjoyed hearing the experiences and opportunities presented. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to engage with many different schools and to hear about their leadership journeys.
“Everyone is a leader all the time, whether they know it or not.”
Now that our Year 7 cohort have settled into Waverley, we will be holding our SRC Elections for 2024/25 the second week of Term 2.
Students will be voting in their Wellbeing groups and will be able to elect one student from Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 to represent their cohort, whilst the Year 11 students will be able to elect two students as their representatives.
If elected, students would be required to attend an SRC meeting with the College and House Captains once every two weeks.

This is a wonderful service opportunity for students to engage with the different Year groups and to develop their leadership potential. All students will receive an email today outlining the procedure of applying for these positions:
Servant leadership is at the heart of all we do here at Waverley. I look forward to working with the young men who are willing to put themselves into the service of others.

Dear Parents, Staff and Students,
For those of you who don’t know, Waverley College’s ‘Worlds Greatest Shave’ Campaign was recently launched at the CAS Swimming Assembly and was given a very warm reception by those who attended, which we are all very grateful for. This cause is held very close to the hearts of the Waverley College community and has been at the forefront of our many Social Justice initiatives for a long time.
The World’s Greatest Shave Foundation is one that I know many in our community cherish and support graciously every year and one that has directly supported some of our past and present families at the College. While our Campaign is led by Lacey House – the Lacey students, families and staff showing unwavering support since its inception at the College – the Lacey Leadership Team would like to thank you for your support. Almost $14,000 has been raised for this charity.
Thank you for your support and if you would still like to make a donation please click HERE.

By the end of this Term, most students will have received feedback and results for at least one task in most of their subjects. It is really important that students use this feedback to reflect and consider the focus of their Term 2 2024 Academic SMART goals. Our Parent Teacher Student interviews at the start of Term 2 provide an opportune time for students to share and refine these goals with their teachers and parents/carers.
How students respond to results and feedback is just as important as completing the task itself. Sometimes results meet expectations and sometimes students can experience a situation where they have found aspects of an assessment task challenging. Dr Carol Dweck’s seminal work on the Growth Mindset can really help parents/carers to support their children during these times.
Ms Helen Barrie’s article below outlines some further information on this topic from a professional learning session that she attended last week.
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
The process of drafting written work is a complex endeavour. In the drafting phase of an assessment, students value teacher feedback, in which teachers read drafted work and offer advice on how the student can improve their writing in preparation for formal submission. It is common to define feedback as any actions taken by a teacher or coach to provide individuals with information regarding some aspect of their performance. Yet as the demands of the academic year multiply, teachers and coaches must ask themselves, ‘how do I give feedback successfully so students will use it to improve their performance?’.
Author/consultant James Nottingham, creator of The Learning Pit, argues that to successfully support students to review, apply and adapt meaningful feedback, students must focus on three questions to maximise their learning potential.
This last question is particularly important as it gives the student an opportunity to “look forward” and plan for their next steps to achieve their ultimate goal.
In keeping with our focus at Waverley on unlocking student potential, the Head of Science, Ms Gemma Brown and I recently attended Organisational Psychologist, Professor Adam Grant’s Sydney event, complimenting the release of his book, Hidden Potential, which in its myriad of applications included educators and people responsible for unlocking the potential in students. When discussing optimal feedback to drive growth, he referred to Dr Carol Dweck’s work on adopting a growth mindset, encouraging learners to be aware of our reactive and ego-driven desires for a quick fix which short-circuits true learning,
“Learning is more likely when students are reactive to feedback and growth oriented, and the sweet spot is when students are proactive and growth oriented. They consistently take the initiative to expand themselves and adapt,” he argues in his latest book, Hidden Potential.
Nottingham’s three questions are a great strategy for parents/carers to keep in mind when supporting their children to successfully use feedback to drive their growth. Psychologists suggest that procrastination may be a result of discomfort and anxiety related to a task. Yet, as Grant shows in a plethora of examples in his book, seeking out discomfort by reviewing and applying feedback can be a way to learn faster and more effectively.

With the holidays approaching, here are a number of exciting literary competitions to keep our students interested in writing busy. Please share this information with your sons.
Poetry Competition: “Poem Forest”
The website link is HERE.
Created by Red Room Poetry, in partnership with Wollongong City Council, Poem Forest invites students and teachers to use their words to make positive climate action. For every nature poem received, a tree is planted to help heal habitats and create a Poem Forest for future generations. Since 2021, over 17,100 poem trees have been planted.
All Poem Forest Prize entries are published in our digital library and have the chance to win $5,000 in prizes, including $500 cash for each category, book packs, garden tours, plants, journals and more.
The website link is HERE.
Stories are being judged on two key things:
CRAFT: Is your story well written and descriptive? Have you shown a strong command of language, structure, and vocabulary? Is it clear that you understand what key elements go into making a good story?
IDEA: How original and unique is your idea? Has your story got something interesting to share? Does it affect the reader emotionally? Does your story grab the reader and make them want to read more?
We encourage all students to enter the competition! We are judging based on ideas and passion for storytelling, just as heavily as on technical craft and command of language.
Entries are now open
Entries close Friday, 31 May 2024.

Our emotions are physical and mental states that communicate with us a range of information which naturally guides our behaviours and reactions. We all feel a range of different emotions each day and sometimes these emotions are more obvious or heightened than other days. Despite the intensity, our emotions are extremely important for our survival and wellbeing. But what happens when our emotions seem to get the better of us – or our children?
Worry Stacking is a term used by Dr Justin Coulson from Happy Families, a parenting expert from ‘Parental Guidance’. According to Justin, worry stacking happens when a seemingly trivial or small incident results in a huge emotional reaction from our children. In the moment, we may be alarmed and confused by our child’s emotional reaction, but in retrospect, the reaction may not be excessive as once perceived. Namely, our children may have experienced multiple worries that have added up to the crisis point – the straw that broke the camel’s back! “A lost school hat can quite literally feel like life or death”.
Image 1 – reference: Dr Justin Coulson, Worry Stacking, Happy Families
Justin goes onto say that to help our children (and ourselves), we can intervene sooner when the smaller issues arise to avoid this seemingly quick escalation. It may look a little something like this:
Image 2 – reference: Dr Justin Coulson, Worry Stacking, Happy Families
How can we help our children to learn to help themselves? Lots of ways! Arguably, the most important way is spending time building and maintaining a secure connection with your child, which is much easier to action when they are feeling calm and more like their usual self.
We all want to be heard and listened to, especially when we are having a hard day. However, often when our children are in distress, we want to ‘fix’ the situation for them sooner rather than later – this is a natural response! This approach however devalues the importance of listening actively and validating what is going on in your child’s internal world.
A strong connection requires judgemental-free listening as well as acknowledging your child’s feelings; this shows them that you know what they are upset about and are here to be with them during tricky times.
Practically, this may look like spending time together frequently in a distraction-free setting, saying ‘I love you’ often, creating fun and regular parent-child traditions, and even eating breakfast or dinner together. The more positive time spent together, the more your child will feel safe to share the not-so-fun parts about life and the more fruitful and trusting the relationship becomes.
Dr Justin Coulson recommends further tips on how to push the reset button to help our children. His e-book, Worry Stacking, is available free of charge on the HappyFamilies website for a limited time.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter long weekend and enjoyed a well earned break from such a busy Term. We jumped straight into an exciting week here in the Junior School.
Our students engaged in a live theatre show ‘Cyberkindness’ on Wednesday. This performance addressed crucial topics such as online safety, cyberbullying, seeking help, and making informed decisions in the digital world in a fun and interactive way.
Some feedback from students;
“I learnt that if someone says something unkind, don’t text back.” – Jack Saliba
“I have learned some websites you can go to if you are getting bullied online like Kids Help Line and e-safety.” – Alfie Deal
“I learnt that if someone sends a mean comment, don’t be shy to tell a guardian.” – Romeo Bryen
“I learnt that you must be kind on the Internet and that the Internet can cause big problems. We are all so lucky that we got to go to that event.” – Elton Loveday
I would like to thank the families who were able to come to Open Classrooms today. There was a buzz in the air with how excited and proud our students were to showcase their classroom and the work they have created this Term. We are so grateful that you were able to share in this experience.

NO Home Learning Wednesday and Thursday
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.

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.
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.
If you require any further information, feel free to contact us.
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.

It was a privilege to have Brett Covell as our last guest speaker for Term 1.
Brett is a Waverley Old Boy and Dad of Lachlan in Year 5. Brett is the Head of APAC Media Electronic Arts. He gave the Junior School boys an insight into the world of advertising.
Brett had the boys captivated with his wealth of knowledge about the industry and the game trivia with prizes to win was so much fun.
The Junior School extends its sincere gratitude to Brett Covell for his invaluable contribution to our Term 1 Lunchtime Talk guest speaker series. His passion and dedication to inspiring the next generation of advertisers and innovators is truly appreciated.
When boys are given the opportunity to choose the books and texts they read, they tend to be more attentive and invested in the reading material. This aligns with research showing that allowing students to have a voice in their learning can boost motivation and engagement.
Empowering boys to have a say in their reading not only engages them more effectively but also helps build their confidence and sense of agency as learners. The Learning Hub’s priority is to source books that students want to read.
Jesse Araujo – Sneaker Obsession
“Reading books is not really my thing, but when I’m reading about something I love, I just can’t stop. Have fun reading and always read what you like in life.”
Fergus Samba Hoare – Pipe Dreams: A Surfer’s Journey
“I’ve been trying to read more and I have been so excited to get this book and start reading. I struggle to find books that interest me, but Miss Zivanovic helps me get the best book for me that I will enjoy.”

In Maths Enrichment classes this Term, boys have been tasked with the responsibility of designing the ‘perfect’ school from the very beginning of such a process. As we progress we are discovering that such a project requires knowledge across a broad range of mathematical concepts.
At the moment, boys are in the design phase using their knowledge of Area, Length and Scale to design the layout of our ‘perfect’ school.

5 Orange has been learning this Term about the Four Touchstones of Edmund Rice Schools Australia in Religion lessons. The Four Touchstones that we value deeply at Waverley College are Liberating Education, Inclusive Community, Gospel Spirituality and Justice & Solidarity. Boys have reflected deeply on what Touchstone they value the most.
On Harmony Day we celebrated each other’s culture and heritage by sharing food.
At our Judaism Incursion we made Matzah Bread and learned all about the story of Passover. Both of these events were a shining example to 5 Orange of what an Inclusive Community looks like.
A special mention must also be extended to Leo Murphy from 5 Orange who recently represented NSW in the Australian Youth Beach Volleyball Championships at Coolangatta.
