Parent Information Night
Thank you to all the parents who took the time to attend the information evening on Monday evening. I hope you appreciated all the information and are now better prepared to assist your son on his journey at Waverley.
Special thanks as well to all the Junior School staff for their support throughout the evening.

To kick start our 2020 Lunchtime Talks, Waverley warmly welcomed Mrs Cass Spies. Cass is the founder of Twisted yoghurt which is proudly 100 % Australian Made and Owned.

Thank you so much for sharing your story of the ups and downs of running a business.
Lexington (Year 5) is a lucky boy to have an inspirational Mum like you!
