Pope Francis’ encyclical letter, ‘Laudato Si’, on Care of our Common Home, is a theological response to the environmental crisis. He is calling not only the Church but the entire world to respond to the “urgent challenge to protect our common home” (LD#13), a home that is “falling into serious disrepair” (LD#61). He invites all of us to enter into new dialogue on “how we are shaping the future of our planet” (LD#14). He is seeking input and action inclusive of everyone, “since the environmental challenge we are undergoing, and its human roots, concern and affect us all” (LD#14).
Pope Francis names our “throwaway culture” as a root cause of the ecological crisis. We face pollution and waste, scarcity of water, loss of biodiversity, decline in the quality of life and breakdown of society, and extreme consumerism with global inequality.
In response to Laudato Si, EREA calls for school communities to demonstrate leadership and proactivity to address key challenges which relate to the sustainability of the entire planet. This requires a strategic approach to creating a sustainable community, integrating ecological goals and outcomes into the intent of our planning, and developing partnerships with organisations committed to ecological and sustainable practices. (EREA Principal’s Ecology and Sustainability Statement)
So what are we doing at Waverley College in response to this call to action?
Under the skilful and energetic guidance of Ms Silvia Baylie, Waverley has a group of passionate students who meet once a week to plan and implement initiatives that aim to preserve our land and sea, and eradicate social injustice and inequalities. This group is called Students of the World Ecology Group, known as SOTWEG.
It was with great pleasure to present the following students with their badge pins at assembly last week: Luca Cornelius, Bertie Cottell, Tomas Crosson, Praman Gandhi, Lachlan Isaac, Oliver Isaac, Ethan Khatib, Oliver Lorimer, Taj Lynn, Max Sheehy, Axel Stapleton, Fox Stapleton, Oscar Wilson, James Peate and Kayden Baker.

Aligning with SOTWEG’s values around sustainability, the badge pins have been designed by the group and manufactured from wood, onsite at the College.

Axel Stapleton spoke with purpose and passion to the assembly, appealing to our collective responsibility to find ways to look after our environment, highlighting that “if we choose to ignore it, then we choose not to care.” He outlined some of the focus areas for SOTWEG.
Recycling – Be thoughtful in correctly using the clearly labelled recycling bins around the school.
Eliminating Littering – Take pride in your environment and remember that rubbish left on the ground ends up in stormwater drains and ultimately, our oceans.
Soft Plastics – Working with the canteen to find alternative packaging to eliminate single use plastic.
Reducing our water consumption – Sydney Water will complete an audit of the school’s water usage to find ways to reduce the amount of water use.
Increasing native gardens – Building on the existing gardens in the Centenary Quad to have more native plants in our local area to attract bees and wildlife.
Edmund Rice Education Beyond Borders (EREBB) Global Classrooms – Connecting with Edmund Rice schools in other countries to learn from each other and working towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development goals.
Ms Baylie reminded us that creating a sustainable future is not one person’s job, nor up to a few individuals, but rather, we all have a part to play. She challenged us to make one change to support the initiatives of SOTWEG.
I admire the passion, dedication and innovation of SOTWEG and look forward to the Waverley community supporting the group with their integral ecology and sustainability initiatives.
A reminder that SOTWEG meet weekly on Tuesday during lunch in C13. New members are most welcome!
Waverley College School TV has is a very useful resource for parents, carers and students in a range of important areas, including youth mental health.
Parents and carers can play a crucial role in their children’s mental health. As a result, staying informed on the current state of youth mental health is vital, as it not only affects individuals, but also families and communities. According to recent research, the frequency of mental health disorders among young people is increasing, with anxiety, depression and self-harm being among the most common challenges.
One of the reasons being attributed to this rise is the heightened stress and anxiety that many young people face in today’s society. Academic success, social media, and family issues are all influencing factors. Many young people are still suffering the long-term consequences of the pandemic, such as social isolation, uncertainty, and loss.
Parents/carers can play an important role in their children’s mental health. Creating a safe and open environment for your children to talk about their emotions, thoughts, and feelings is vital. Encouraging healthy habits like regular exercise, a balanced diet, and proper sleep can help reduce their stress levels and boost your child’s overall mental health.
There are also many resources and services available to children, adolescents, and their families, such as school counsellors, various mental health organisations, support lines, and of course, mental health professionals. It is important to remember that seeking help is a show of strength, not weakness, and that early intervention is critical in addressing young people’s mental health difficulties.
This edition of SchoolTV, discusses some of the major mental health issues affecting young people and how to support a child experiencing them. We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered in this month’s edition, and we always welcome your feedback.
If you do have any concerns about the wellbeing of your child, please contact our College for further information or seek medical or professional help.

After some promising results in Round 1, especially in the Years 7/8 age group, Waverley College embarked on their first ever ‘Home Round’ at Pioneers Park in front of an adoring audience. Six out of seven of our Senior School Teams played between 8am and 5pm at the venue, with the 7/8 Division 3 team, being the travellers to Northbridge Oval, being hosted by Shore.
The trip to Northbridge Oval was a success with the boys taking out a comprehensive 52-point victory. The boys and their families were treated to a lovely afternoon tea after the match by Shore, and were grateful for their hospitality.
Our 7/8 Division 2 began the day with an emphatic victory over St Augustine’s 123-7, with Liam Gardiner and Ned Wilson starring for the home team.
Our 7/8 Division 1 team then graced the field and continued the strong form against St Augustine’s, registering a 97-0 victory. The skill level and ball movement was at a high standard in the sunny conditions. Hayden McAusland and Dom Dametto were unstoppable.
Our 9/10 Division team were up next, against Barker. This was a competitive match as the breeze started to pick up. Kicking against the breeze in the final quarter, the boys ran away with the game, recording a 32-point victory, thanks to a dominant Oscar Wilson.
Up next, was the showcase 1st XVIII match vs Trinity. As the breeze was starting to influence the game, Waverley took a 9-point lead into quarter time, whilst kicking against it. After this, the boys were dominant, and ran out 119-41, winners. Andrew Moloney starred in the midfield and James O’Loughlin was electric up forward with 4 goals. A great confidence booster leading into a huge CAS game against Knox this week.
Our 2nds were the next to take the field, against a strong Trinity 2nds outfit. The boys battled hard throughout the day, registering 3 majors in the 98-20 loss. Tom Park and Will Pearce were strong contributors throughout the match.
The final match of the day was played by our 9/10 Division 2 team against a strong St Aloysius’ side. Unfortunately, we had a few key players out, making it a difficult day at the office, Aloys’ running out 119-7, victors. For the second week in a row, Sam Jasczyk was best for the team.
The day itself was a great success with players and families coming together to play and support the AFL community. I would like to thank the Supporters’ Group for putting on a fantastic BBQ, whilst selling merchandise and helping to build the inclusive social nature that we are striving for each week. The countless hours and will to help one another for the benefit of our boys, is inspiring and greatly appreciated.
Good luck to all teams this weekend. We have some huge fixtures against Knox (Acron Oval), Shore, St Augustine’s (North Narrabeen) and Barker (Rofe Park).
I hope to see you all next weekend for Friday Night Football (19 May) at Pioneer’s Park against Cranbrook. This will be the first of our Indigenous Round celebrations. We will be conducting a ceremony, running a BBQ and selling raffle tickets for some great prizes.

Deep amongst the monstrous flytraps and ferns in Sebastian’s garden, tendrils of a sordid family secret are beginning to unfurl.
Sebastian Venable died mysteriously last summer, and his mother Violet will do anything in her power to protect his memory – and her own reputation. Young cousin Catharine was the only witness to this nightmarish event. She is desperate to reveal what really happened, but Violet will go to any lengths to stop the ugly truth from seeing the light of day.
Tennessee Williams’ gothic masterpiece, ‘Suddenly Last Summer’, led by Shaun Rennie, who also directed Ensemble’s 2019 BABY DOLL, is as relevant today as it was when written over 60-years ago.
Vibrant, funny, beautiful, Tennessee Williams takes us into the poetic world of redemption and love, shadowed by the dark secrets a family can hold. – Synopsis: courtesy Ensemble Theatre website.
First edition of ‘Suddenly Last Summer’ by playwright Tennessee Williams
Our St Catherine’s cadets have been busy promoting Cadets as a co-curricular activity to the Year 8 girls this past week. Cadets is still a relatively new phenomenon at the school, and explaining what it is about and the benefits it affords was so well displayed during an activity afternoon on Wednesday.
Planned and executed completely by the cadets, the girls were involved in lessons in Camouflage and Concealment, Cooking Ration Packs, Ratel Battleship and the Obstacle Course and Mine Sweep activities. Each session was run by the rank and their professionalism, confidence and expertise made them excellent ambassadors for the Cadet Unit.
The afternoon was followed up with a Parent Information Evening on Monday with many parents/carers and girls attending, excited to be involved in such a different activity.
Today, we are conducting the first of our Passing Out Parade rehearsals as we prepare to farewell our Year 12 cadets on Sunday, 4 June. The next rehearsal will be on Friday, 2 June.
All parents/carers are welcome to come and view the Annual Parade and Cadet Awards Ceremony. Please view the invitation below.
A reminder that the Promotions Courses for JLC, SLC and CUO candidates will be held from Monday, 26 June – Saturday, 1 July at Winbourne Conference Centre, Mulgoa. Further information will be sent out next week.
Please find below the schedule for the Year 12 Tutorials in Term 2, Week 4. Topics covered during the tutorials include content revision, study skills, exam preparation and practice papers. These tutorials have proven extremely valuable and, while not compulsory, are strongly encouraged.

After last week’s muddy sprint relays, the boys were relieved to have some dry weather and track for a fast race. This year’s first cross-country meeting of official distances commenced at Centennial Park.
The start featured a sharp bottleneck over uneven tree roots, before quickly tapering into a long 1km straight along the white fence, a relatively flat, wide gravel track with multiple hairpin corners, provided for some fast, intelligent and strategic racing.
Commencing at 9am the boys were eager to race, with many of the boys debuting at new distances. It was a strong start to the season.
After a strong start from our boys, they quickly settled into a rhythm. Towards the end of the first 2km lap, there were some definite surges in pace, particularly from Jake McEvoy, as he passed through the tunnel of spectators. Even after tripping over, earlier in the race, he was not phased and quickly gained momentum and positions.
It’s great to see the boys incorporating some risks into their race tactics. This will only make for better runners.
Within the Juniors, we had Joshua Peters leading the field for the Waverley boys, finishing 32nd out of 181 runners.
This group commenced soon after, demanding three laps of hard running from the boys (6km). With the temperature heating up, our Waverley boys rose to the challenge. As the other age groups watched the race eagerly, it was hard not to take note of how comfortable the pace looked for Asher Thomasyu, as he rolled through the field, finishing 12th out of 149 runners.
It is also important to note the performance of Jack Richardson, who turned up to Centennial Park eager to race, prior to his 14As rugby game just a few hours later. This really highlights the true Waverley spirit instilled within him. Great job, Jack.
With the weather even warmer, the final event took to the course – the 8km seniors race (17s-18s). With a fast start from all of our boys, we all settled into our respective rhythms. Early into the race, a small group of three Waverley boys running together settled into the front pack, working together to help one another.
Two laps into the race, a definite move from Mackenzie Palmer saw him to the front of the Waverley boys. Mackenzie ended up with a strong place of 17th out of 139 runners.
Overall, Waverley’s runners continued the strong start to the season with some very respectable results across the board. With all boys seeing improvement in training, the Waverley College Cross Country team is looking very strong. We’re looking forward to St Ives Showground next week, to tackle the hills.

Last weekend, Waverley College enjoyed a challenging day of rugby against St Ignatius’ College, Riverview in which our young men were really tested. Again, this was very much a trial round to allow for coaches to continue to monitor player performance. This included some modified matches in which some of our teams played mixed opponents.
Not only was the day a good opportunity for our students to continue to improve on their match fitness and skills, being our second fixture of the season, but it also allowed us to review aspects of our program which we need to improve on – such as ensuring students are provided with equal game time to their peers on the playing field.
Please know, we are continuing to try to improve our standards to ensure our young men have an enjoyable experience. I thank the community for all your support of our coaches and players.

A special mention must be given to one of our young referees, Hunter Eldridge, who stepped in to referee a number of matches on Saturday, due to some of our referees falling ill. Hunter handled each match with skill and expertise – thank you Hunter!
Furthermore, a big thanks must also go to one of our parents, Peter Tate, who stepped in to coach the mighty 15Bs when the regular coach was also unable to make the game due to an illness. Thank you Mr Tate!

Thank you to all players and families who made the journey to away venues over the weekend. I particularly thank our mighty 13Es team, who made the long journey to Pittwater to play against St Augustine’s, in the very early hours of Saturday morning (and enjoyed a great win!).
*A reminder that if a student is unable to attend a fixture due to an illness, we request that the student absence be notified through appropriate channels (as indicated in the 2023 Rugby Season Guide) and a medical certificate provided to the Director of Co-Curricular.
In the very unlikely case that a student may decide to simply not show up to a match, a fair consequence will be issued by the College.
We do place a great deal of emphasis in ensuring players are in attendance at Saturday Sport, as ultimately, in selecting to play rugby, students are making the commitment to a team sport as well as a commitment to the opposition schools we play each week.
Furthermore, I know that in many cases, opposition schools who are made up of boarding students (such as Riverview), will have families travelling long distances from country areas to watch the games played, which is something we all need to be mindful of.
This weekend, Waverley College meets an ISA (Independent Sporting Association) competition school in Oakhill College. Oakhill College, located at Castle Hill, is a very talented school on the rugby field, with a similar number of teams that we have at Waverley. The fixture should again be a good test for all our teams, as we really begin to take shape ahead of the CAS competition.
Our 13s, 16s and Opens teams all play at Oakhill College, while our 14s and 15s teams all get to enjoy another fixture at Queens Park.
For those travelling to Oakhill (Castle Hill), please ensure you leave plenty of time to get to the games, as the traffic can certainly build up on Saturday mornings. All fields at Oakhill are located within the school grounds.
On the weekend following the Oakhill fixture, I am pleased to announce that all age groups are scheduled to play at Queens Park against St Augustine’s College. This should be an entertaining day of rugby, as we are looking to schedule all our A teams on the famous QP1 ground, from the 13As right through to the 1st XV.
It should be a great atmosphere, and we encourage all members of the community to come along to support the day.
Thank you to all those wonderfully supportive members of the community who are happy to help assist on the canteen each weekend. We are again looking for parents/carers in the 14s and 15s age group to assist on the canteen this weekend, Saturday, 13 May 2023, between the hours of 8am-12pm (canteen only).
Furthermore, we do need interested parents/carers (from all age groups) to assist on the ‘Super Saturday’ of rugby at Queens Park on Saturday, 20 May 2023, when all teams will be playing at our home ground. Both the BBQ and canteen will be in operation.
Can you help? If so, please register your name onto the Online Roster by clicking the button below:

I have no doubts that among the very talented rugby players at Waverley College, we also have incredible writers! Please read the following note which has been sent through to Waverley College from the NSW Waratahs:
Dear Waverley College students,
Over the last couple of years we’ve had some fantastic student reporters that contribute by writing reports about School Rugby and in particular the 1st XV fixtures.
We host these on the NSW Waratahs website and it is a great opportunity to give students a tangible thing they can put on their resume or digital portfolio.
An example of what we’ve done previously is here.
If there may be any interested students at Waverley College who would like to be a School Rugby Reporter (particularly for Waverley matches) they are welcome to contact Mr Andrew Hill (Andrew.hill@nsw.rugby)
Thanks for your help!

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to wish all the wonderful mothers in our community, a very Happy Mother’s Day for this coming Sunday. We appreciate all the love, care and support you constantly provide to our students (as well as our coaches and staff!). We hope you have a terrific day and we are sure the boys will shower you with love and gifts. Happy Days!
Good luck to all teams this weekend against Oakhill College.
Waverley to win!
