Congratulations to James Peate on his 4th place finish in the finals of the Sydney Catholic Schools Public Speaking. Waverley is really proud of you.
Last Thursday our Years 8, 11 and a number of Year 12 students attended the CAS Swimming and Diving Championships to support the Waverley squads. The support and behaviour of our students was exemplary and a huge thank you to the students, staff and parents/carers that attended to support on the night.
Waverley finished 5th in Swimming and 4th in the Diving. Special mention to James Wynyard and Darcy Dawson in the Diving who have both qualified for CIS as well as giving Waverley the most points we have ever secured at the Diving Championships.
Hugo Binder’s win in the U12 Freestyle was one of the performances on the night, as well as the excellent performances of our two Year 5 swimmers Kai Hess and Jack Forde.
We also held our Basketball, Cricket and Aquatics presentation evenings over the past week and a huge thank you to the various Supporters’ Groups and parents/carers for their efforts in making these evenings happen.
Well done also to all of those award winners. We will recognise all award winners in our summer co-curricular awards assembly on Thursday, 4 April 2024 and parents/carers are welcome to attend.
This week we commenced our winter season and all students are to be reminded of the following:
Good luck to all students and staff with the first round of trials this weekend.

In 2024 Waverley College is partnering with Guard Up Mouthguards as our provider from the commencement of the Winter Season. These mouthguards are worn by notable names in both professional Rugby, AFL, and US College Football.
The mouthguards are fitted using laser scanning technology and are 3D printed to ensure an exact and customisable fit, and can be produced and replaced in a much shorter timeframe and at a much lower cost when compared with a traditional fitted mouthguard. Those with Private Health cover may also receive a rebate on their purchase, dependent on their cover.
If you are interested in having a mouthguard fitted for the upcoming Winter Season, please complete the Expression of Interest form HERE.
Numbers will be finalised on Wednesday, 27 March 2024.

Happy St Patrick’s Day for this Sunday to all those with Irish heritage, and to Catholics and Christians who celebrate the feast day of Saint Patrick. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. The day is a significant day for Edmund Rice Schools, seeing our founder started his mission work in Waterford, Ireland.
On Friday lunch time, a game of Gaelic Football was played between the staff and students on the tennis courts and the spirit of celebrating the day was certainly on display. The staff team was stacked with Irish teachers and the student team was stacked with AFL players. Youth may have gotten up…
“May your troubles be less and your blessings be more, and nothing but happiness come through your door.”

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of attending the Waverley Council International Women’s Day Event held at the Bondi Pavilion. The keynote speaker for the event was Diana Olsberg, a dedicated financial equality advocate and esteemed resident of Bondi. She delivered an inspiring address centred around this year’s United Nations Australia International Women’s Day theme, “Count Her In: Accelerating gender equality through economic empowerment.”
Diana Olsberg, the recipient of the 2024 award, shared her remarkable journey and insights. Diana is a member of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Population Ageing Research and a passionate campaigner against social isolation.
Diana’s compelling story is showcased in the Waverley Council’s interactive digital exhibition, the Bondi Story Room. Delve deeper into her narrative HERE.
Next week we’ll celebrate Harmony Day, a celebration of cultural diversity and unity marked annually on 21 March. This day is about inclusiveness and ensuring that everyone feels that they belong.
Our DJ was such a hit at our 2023 Harmony Day, that they will return this year, as we enjoy a BBQ ($3) in the Senior School Centenary Quad with refreshments ($2). Junior School students will celebrate their cultural diversity by bringing in a plate of food from home that best represents their culture, to share with their fellow classmates.
Did you know that Harmony Day originated in Australia? As one of the world’s most successful multicultural countries, it was first celebrated here in 1999 to coincide with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It’s now celebrated globally.
The College for a number of years has run a Year 12 Mother/Son Luncheon and this year we are trialling a whole school event, which the Parents’ Association are organising – the Parents’ Association Mother/Carer & Son Dinner.
This will be held on Friday, 17 May 2024 at Randwick Racecourse, 6:30pm-10:30pm. Tickets are on sale at 9am on Monday, 18 March through TryBooking and seats are limited so act fast!

Congratulations to our Swimming and Diving Teams who performed admirably at the 93rd CAS Swimming and Diving Championships, held last night at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre (SOPAC).
Congratulations to Knox Grammar who won the swimming competition and Trinity Grammar, the Diving competition. We placed 5th in swimming and 4th in diving.
Competition was tough and close in both competitions and we’re very proud of all our competitors. Thank you to every one of our energetic supporters in the stands!
Congratulations to alumnus Noah Havard (2018) on being selected for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics where he’ll be competing in the K4 500m Flat Water Sprint Kayak Event. At last year’s World Championships, Noah’s team were 0.722 behind Germany who won the event and 0.448 off the bronze medal, so they are considered medal contenders.
Whilst training at an elite level, Noah has also managed to complete a project management degree (construction major) from the University of Sydney. He aims to work in mining or construction after his sporting career.
You can read more about Noah HERE.
Congratulations to the very talented Renato Rovacchi (Year 11) on his selection as a finalist in the 2024 Lester Prize, one of Australia’s most prestigious portraiture fine art prizes. This is his self-portrait.
Good luck, Renato!

Do you have a working laptop and charger that you no longer need?
Our friends in schools and communities in Fiji and Timor-Leste desperately need working laptops with chargers. As part of our 2024 Immersions to both these locations, we will take any donated working laptops with us.
Donations received until Friday, 12 April – the last day of Term 1 2024.

Vaccination Day for Year 10 students is fast approaching – Wednesday, 3 April 2024.
South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) has advised that we currently only have 30% of students consented for the Meningococcal ACWY vaccine. Meningococcal disease occurs worldwide, with the highest incidence of disease found in the ‘meningitis belt’ of sub-Saharan Africa. However, it does occur in other places like Europe, the Americas, and Australia. The highest incidence of the disease occurs in two age groups; 0-4 years, and 15-25 years.
Australia implemented conjugate meningococcal C immunization in 2003 with a single scheduled dose at age 12 months and catch-up for individuals aged 2-19 years. In 10 years, after adjusting for changes in diagnostic practices, population invasive serogroup C incidence declined 96%.
Having lost two students in 2001 to Meningococcal C within six weeks of each other, I have seen first hand the devastating effects of this disease and how quickly it can take hold. Both boys sadly passed away within hours of first feeling sick and noticing symptoms.
I would encourage you to consider seriously for your son to receive this nationally-recommended vaccine which is funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council. You can give your consent by viewing the article from our College Registered Nurses HERE.
On Tuesday 12 and Wednesday 13 March 2024, Year 11 students participated in the Galmatic Car Maintenance Workshops. Our senior students have been actively participating in these very practical car maintenance workshops for the past five years.
In one-to-one and group scenarios, students learned both theory and hands-on training, improving their knowledge, skills, confidence and safety awareness in a one-hour, outdoor session in Braidwood.
Students learned how to change a tyre, how to change the oil, wiper fluid or coolant and about the important parts of the engine. These workshops are important because they empower teenagers to feel confident about fixing a car safely, quickly and easily.
It is disappointing to receive regular complaints from members of the public about our students’ behaviour on public transport. Our students are reminded at almost every College Assembly and House meeting, about expectations on public transport and about their behaviour in the community when they are in school uniform and representing Waverley College.
Please remind your son about the expectations on public transport;
The College has also received numerous complaints about students riding e-bikes in the wrong direction up one way streets, at high speeds and without helmets. This not only puts the rider at risk of serious injury if they get hit by a car or fall off, but also to members of the public who cross their path.
As with all modes of transport to and from school, students need to comply with all traffic laws and remember that they are representatives of the College while travelling in public.

With no screening programs available and no means of prevention through lifestyle changes, blood cancer is Australia’s hidden cancer crisis. Every day, 53 Aussies are diagnosed with blood cancer, and 16 will lose their life.
It requires teamwork to stop blood cancer from wrecking lives. That’s why we’ve decided to team up to take part in the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave together.
We’ll be raising crucial funds that will give people facing blood cancer all the support and information they need, while driving breakthrough research projects discovering better ways to diagnose and treat blood cancer.
You have the power to help us make an extraordinary difference. Big or small, every donation counts. Will you help by sponsoring us?
Top fundraisers will be eligible to have their head shaved (minimum # 2 with parent/carer permission) on 4 April 2024.

Please find below some reminders about upcoming events. For all of Term 1 events, please refer to the College calendar.
As you are aware, our school will be participating in NAPLAN Online between 13 – 22 March 2024. The NAPLAN Writing went really well on Wednesday and we look forward to continuing NAPLAN next week. Please view the timetable HERE.
This year we will celebrate Harmony Day on Thursday, 21 March (Week 8). We are asking students to bring in a gold coin donation to support our CARITAS appeal.
We would also like to celebrate our diversity by asking students to bring in a plate of food from home that best represents their culture, that can be shared amongst the class.
*If you are making the food could you please list the ingredients on it, as we do have students with severe allergies.

For students who are part of Our Lady of the Rosary Parish in Kensington, the Sacrament of Confirmation will be administered at the Church by Bishop Umbers on Wednesday, 12 June 2024.
The parent enrolment night is Wednesday, 20 March at 6:30pm in Our Lady of the Rosary Church, 4 Roma Avenue, Kensington. Parents/carers will need to bring information about the child’s Baptism: date, name of the Church and Parish of Baptism.
Please note: Waverley College assists in preparing only the students who are part of Mary Immaculate Church or live within the parish boundaries for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Please ensure that you reach out to your local parish to check the dates of this Sacrament to ensure that you don’t miss out.

It was a big week in Junior School Sport – wrapping up our Summer Sport with our final week of training and beginning our first of three Winter Sport Trials. I am so proud of our Junior School boys for their efforts at the first trial. While trials can be nerve wracking, our students showed determination and resilience, knowing they will be soon placed into one of our great teams.
Congratulations to our Water Polo A team, who played a full match and worked so well as a team, passing and lining up the balls for each other to score goals. Well done!
We also had Man City trials for future students who want to be part of our esteemed Football program. Well done to all boys who trialled.
Finally, congratulations to our Junior School students who competed in the Surf Lifesaving NSW State Age Championships on Saturday, 9 March.
The U12 Male Surf Team took home the bronze medal on Saturday in the U12 Surf Team final.

*No Home Learning Tuesday, 19 March 2024
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-4pm – Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays – during school term unless there is a scheduled Professional Development meeting and the club will be closed.
Register your son HERE.
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.
Avoid messaging your son during this period, unless it is urgent.
On International Women’s Day, Simone Condon, an esteemed Executive Producer and Mum to Xavier Year 6, shared her inspiring journey with Junior School students. Renowned for her drive, passion, and storytelling, she has made a significant impact in the industry through her work on live events across 195 cities globally.
Her list of shows and events is long and impressive, with her most recent on the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 Australian Ceremonies. Thank you for taking the time out to inspire the future executive producers to dream big.
Debating season is around the corner and once again, I am astounded by the amount of interest and enthusiasm of the boys at the Junior School.
I would like to congratulate Flynn Rigby, Thomas Taylor, Ellis Cario, Zachary Hickman, Luke Haddock, Ethan Uncle, Xavier Burns, Hugh Rachel and Finn Constable who have been selected to represent the Junior School forming our IPSHA Debating team.
The Waverley Youth Art Prize returns for 2024 and the drawing club students have been busy working on their artistic interpretations of the theme ‘Mysteries of the Deep.’
Embark on a captivating journey through Australia’s past as we explore the Federation era and the crucial development of Indigenous rights. In 6 Orange History classes, students have immersed themselves in the transformative Freedom Ride, led by Charles Perkins and University of Sydney students at the time.
Guided by curiosity, our students investigated the significance of the Freedom Rides, tracing the footsteps of those who challenged injustice across the country. Inspired, they assumed the role of journalists, crafting newspaper articles that echoed the call for justice and equality.
Here are a few examples of the articles created by some of our future journalists. These are some of our first drafts for the newspaper articles.

Exciting changes are underway in the educational landscape of New South Wales, as the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA) embraces a knowledge-rich approach to curriculum development. As part of the NSW Curriculum Reform program, NESA has shifted its focus from general skills to a knowledge-explicit approach in the development of new syllabuses.
The Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) released a report last week that outlines the evidence-based considerations that underpin this knowledge-and skills-explicit approach to syllabus development.
You can access the report in this LINK.
The report not only sheds light on the benefits of a knowledge-rich curriculum but also addresses common misconceptions surrounding its implementation in schools. Particularly, the report foregrounds the importance of instilling a robust foundation of knowledge in students, preparing them for the challenges of the modern world.
Waverley College is currently addressing these changes through our collaboration with the Association of Independent Schools (AIS) in our pedagogical work on Deep Learning. This partnership aims to bring effective pedagogical strategies to our classrooms, ensuring that our students not only acquire a wealth of knowledge but also develop the six global competencies of character, citizenship, creativity, collaboration, communication and critical thinking necessary for success in the 21st century.
From Years 5-12, we are addressing subject-specific skills through the lens of knowledge and understanding in each Key Learning Area (KLA). This holistic approach ensures that our students not only master essential subject-specific skills but also acquire a profound understanding of the foundational knowledge that underpins each discipline.
Our vision at Waverley College is to equip our students to leave the College as globally minded citizens who are active participants in society. By integrating a knowledge-rich curriculum, we are confident that our students will be well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities that await them in an increasingly complex world.
We understand the importance of striking a balance between knowledge and skills, and our teachers are working to create a learning environment that fosters both. Overall, in response to these seminal changes in the NSW curriculum, we are committed to nurturing curious minds, fostering a love for learning, and preparing our students to thrive in a knowledge-rich world.

A reminder to all Year 9 parents/carers that AFX doubles as the Year 9 Camp which is a compulsory week of school. Any applications for leave require school approval.
With only three weeks to go until we leave for camp at Holsworthy Army Barracks, I would advise everyone in the Unit to go through the Equipment List this weekend and make sure you have everything you need.
Q Store will be open Wednesday, 20 March and Wednesday, 27 March at recess and lunch for those last-minute provisions.
*Please note – there will be no provision to issue any gear or equipment after Wednesday, 27 March as Q store will be closed.
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.
