Waverley College continues our commitment to provide quality professional learning for our staff to ensure they are kept up-to-date with the latest pedagogical research and are engaging with high impact teaching strategies (HITS).
The Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) Learning Statement asserts:
“Effective professional learning fosters self and collective confidence, promotes innovation in pedagogical practice and equips people with the skills to respond to current realities and alternative futures. This builds a learning culture of a shared sense of purpose and responsibility for improving the learning outcomes of young people.” (EREA 2022, p7).
Professional Learning this week focused on Working Memory and Cognitive Load Theory. Our sessions were facilitated by leading expert Amanda Hicks. Amanda has had over 26 years’ experience in education in numerous roles, has completed five university degrees in education, and is currently completing her doctoral studies in Mental Health and Social Work.
Cognitive load theory (CLT) emerged from the work of educational psychologist John Sweller and colleagues in the 1980s and 1990s. Contemporary educational researcher, Dylan Wiliam (2017) supports this research, and has described cognitive load theory as “the single most important thing for teachers to know.”
So what is CLT? In summary, CLT is about optimising the load on students’ working memories to help maximise their learning. This can be achieved when students are given explicit instruction accompanied by lots of practice and feedback. (NSW Government: Centre for Education Statistics and Evaluation, 2018).
Hattie summarises explicit instruction as an approach in which:
“The teacher decides the learning intentions and success criteria, makes them transparent to the students, demonstrates them by modelling, evaluates if they understand what they have been told by checking for understanding, and retelling them what they have been told by tying it all together with closure.” (Hattie 2009, p206).
| Educational researchers have identified a number of strategies that can help teachers to maximise student learning by optimising the load on students’ working memories. Amanda guided our staff through a series of evidenced-based practical strategies:
Strategy 1: Tailor lessons according to students’ existing knowledge and skill. Strategy 2: Use worked examples to teach students new content or skills. Strategy 3: Gradually increase independent problem-solving as students become more proficient. Strategy 4: Cut out inessential information. Strategy 5: Present all the essential information together. Strategy 6: Simplify complex information by presenting it both orally and visually. Strategy 7: Encourage students to visualise concepts and procedures that they have learnt. (CESE 2018, p3). |
Explicit instruction and CLT pedagogical strategies directly align with the three Learning Principles of the current Waverley College Teaching and Learning Framework: Visible Learning, Lifelong Learning and Dynamic Learning.

Cognisant that “effective schools keep up to date with developments in research and professional knowledge” (Australian Council for Educational Research 2016, p12), Waverley College commits to critically reflecting on our teaching practices and principles of learning.
I look forward to sharing the next iteration of the Waverley College Teaching and Learning Framework in the coming months.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the 100 parents and carers who attended this event on Tuesday evening. ‘It’s Time We Talked’ is a violence-prevention initiative that supports young people, parents, schools, government and the community sector to understand and address the influence of pornography.
At times confronting, the dangers of early and repeated exposure to pornography by our young people were made clear.
The College is committed to addressing this issue within our Years 5-12 Wellbeing Framework and in the PDHPE syllabus.
While many Waverley College students (and some parents) enjoy using TikTok and the ‘fun’ associated with it, recent investigations and research indicate that it presents a number of dangers, that in many cases the students themselves (and parents and carers) are unaware of, and, even when aware, can find difficult to address.
In recent years, and particularly during the lockdown periods of the pandemic, TikTok use seems to have grown exponentially, and the app seems to have taken on a ‘life of its own’, impacting many students’ wellbeing, mental health and learning.
The College is seeing a rise in targeted online bullying involving our students depicted in TikTok videos. A rise is also being seen in students appearing in TikTok videos wearing school uniform.
TikTok is a social media platform that has become increasingly popular since its rebranding in 2018. It hosts a myriad of content types, with the top category ‘Entertainment’ achieving over 535 billion views.
TikTok is primarily a video-sharing service that uses an algorithm to create targeted ‘for you’ pages, and it provides a never-ending stream of content. The minimum age requirements are 13 to have an account, and 16 to host a public account (which enables direct messaging between users). However, users don’t have to be logged in to see content and to use the ‘search’ function.
TikTok is now the most downloaded social media app in the world. It is especially popular with children and young adults.
The Cyberbullying Research Centre praises TikTok as a fun and engaging way to stay connected with each other and the things that young people love. Some of the platform’s positive impacts on young people are that it:
TikTok’s popularity continued to rise during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the platform providing an opportunity for connection and entertainment during lockdowns.
There are currently two ways to restrict content shown to children on TikTok:
‘Family Pairing’ allows a parent to attach their child’s account to their own, see the direct messages that their child receives and set usage time limits.
‘Digital Wellbeing’ allows a user to set their own limits on usage on their account.
However, these controls have not prevented dangerous trends and behaviours, predatory actions and privacy issues arising. It is not difficult to imagine a tech-savvy child avoiding these controls, by starting up a different account to the one that is linked to/has limits set by their parents. Some children may not have any parent controls on their use of TikTok.
Using any social media platform can compromise a person’s privacy. If you scroll through TikTok, you won’t have to look far to find Australian school students posting dances, parodies and pranks, providing the perfect opportunity for revealing personal and private details and for unsavoury behaviour. The reasons that these posts can be dangerous for students and their schools include:
In addition, the extent to which TikTok stores and shares user data is described by Business Insider as “extraordinary.”
TikTok’s own Privacy Statement says: “We share your data with our third-party service providers we rely on to help provide you with the Platform. These providers include cloud storage providers and other IT service providers. We also share your information with our business partners, advertisers, analytics and search engine providers…”.
TikTok can also analyse data stored on a device’s clipboard and its browser search history. A Privacy Australia article also outlines additional security concerns in relation to TokTok’s data harvesting and its links to China.
As well as privacy and child protection issues, TikTok has also been linked to physical dangers including increased mental illnesses and worsening attention spans.
In the past, the platform has also been used to encourage children to participate in dangerous Internet ‘challenges’ where a user records themselves doing an activity and prompting others to join in.
A challenge that has become popular in Australia is the ‘Black-out’ or ‘Thumb Blowing Pass-Out’ challenge, in which a person will make themselves hyper-ventilate and then hold their breath until they pass out. Earlier this year, a Queensland ambulance spokesperson said to 7-News: “There were four calls in one hour in southeast Queensland and all of those children needed transport to hospital.” There have been deaths of young children linked to this challenge.
The TikTok algorithm can also compound existing mental health problems. A recent ABC investigation into the TikTok algorithm describes the platform as “obsessive” and recounts how it influenced young people’s eating habits, resulting in obsessive calorie counting and eating disorders. The 2021 ABC article reports Dr Sukunesan from Swinburne University saying: “these TikToks effectively teach people how to have an eating disorder, and the algorithm can lead them to more severe videos, such as ones that promote self-harming.”
The College tracks TikTok usage and flags events involving names and images associated with the College. We keep abreast of the types of behaviours that are being promoted in trending TikTok videos, and have appropriate response mechanisms in place to promote the safety of students during Wellbeing time and at College assemblies.
Waverley College continues to:
The College continues to follow the advice of the eSafety Commissioner ensuring that we make resources available for parents to ensure that their children are being safe online.
The College also has risk management processes and controls in place to mitigate against student safety issues that may arise. These are regularly reviewed and include controls such as policies with rules and responses for:
All boys are now required to be in winter uniform until the end of Term 3. This includes a blazer and tie. The College has high expectations of our students, particularly when travelling to and from school on public transport. As was the case last year, boys failing to do this will be subject to a Friday detention. The positive message we give to the public through our uniform and appearance is a clear statement of what it means to be a Waverley College student and their pride in themselves and the College.
Some boys took the Easter break as an opportunity to experiment with different hairstyles. The expectation was that boys met the following guidelines on their return to the College. I thank the parents who supported the College.
If boys do not comply with a request to address any breaches by their Head of House, they will then have three options:
1) Go immediately to the barber at Charing Cross and have the inappropriate haircut rectified
2) Rectify the inappropriate haircut themselves with clippers supplied by the College
3) Return home until such time as the inappropriate haircut is rectified

This Sunday, 1 May marks Waverley College’s 112th celebration of our annual May Procession. This is a sacred celebration of our College founder Blessed Edmund Rice and our devotion to Mary, Jesus’ mother.
Our special guest at this year’s May Procession is General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK CVO MC (Retd), and we look forward to having many of our Old Boys join us for this special celebration.
Unfortunately, due to the forecasted rain this Sunday, we are relocating this year’s May Procession from the Centenary Quad to the Br Lacey Gymnasium. Regrettably, this reduces capacity.
We will be live-streaming the May Procession for the community, and have made the event compulsory for students in Years 7-12. Students in Years 5-6 therefore, are not required to attend, and are encouraged to watch the May Procession from home.
The May Procession will take place from 12 pm to 1:30 pm, and will be on regardless of the weather. Could students in Years 7-12 please arrive in the Centenary Quadrangle by 11:30am and have their names marked off by their Mentor. Full winter uniform, including blazer and tie, must be worn.

As we approach Holy Week, we turn our focus to the Liturgy of the Sacred Triduum. These holy celebrations lead us into triumphant Easter Sunday joy and provide the very foundation of our Christian faith. Holy week is the most solemn and glorious week in Christianity, the pinnacle of the liturgical year. It is more sacred than Christmas because it commemorates the final week of Our Lord’s life, the very purpose for which Christmas happened. The Sacred Triduum recounts the last three days of Jesus’s life on earth, the events of his Passion and Resurrection, when the Lamb of God laid down his life in atonement for our sins.
Let us not forget that the redemption of the cross begins with the darkness of the tomb. Without the darkness of the tomb, we cannot experience resurrection. The tomb is truly a dark place, lifeless, still and silent. Covered in dried blood, Christ’s body lies motionless, bound in a shroud. After such a brutal, crushing death, hope is far beyond anyone’s grasp. Isn’t this true of the darkness we encounter in our own lives? Visiting those dark places within us can be so frightening, at times terrifying, all the while we emit no hope and see no way out.
But within the tomb, darkness does not prevail, because darkness cannot win. The first chapter of the Gospel of John states an eternal truth: “In God was life, and that life was the light of all humankind.” Light always overcomes darkness and in the tomb, light shines as Christ rises from the dead and destroys death forever.
In our lives today, no matter how bleak our situation or deep the darkness in which we find ourselves, if we dare venture into and fully embrace our darkness, light always comes. Unspeakable joy, because of God’s unbelievable act of love. Let us experience the true redemption of the cross this Easter by recognising that the journey begins in the darkened tomb. May all of our Triduum celebrations be blessed by God, and may we all experience true joy of the Risen Christ.
I encourage you to take your son to at least one of the celebrations over Easter. Sometimes we don’t see the light until further down the journey, and I believe your son will appreciate it in time, whether in a dark moment or perhaps when he becomes a parent himself one day.
Our thoughts and prayers remain with those members of our community who have lost loved ones this year. We will continue to keep you close in our hearts as you grieve.
Thank you to all staff, students and parents for your continued support of the College throughout Term 1. The pandemic has still brought us challenges, but we have been able to work our way over most of the hurdles.
I particularly pay tribute to the College staff who had to cover the work of colleagues who were sick or having to isolate due to COVID-19. Many staff stretched themselves and have worked extremely hard to ensure teaching and learning has been disrupted as minimally as possible.
It was also wonderful to see the return of outdoor education camps, retreats, Cadet camp, co-curricular, and excursions, which has been no easy feat.
Please keep in your thoughts and prayers, the family of Joel (Year 12) and Noah (Waverley Class of 2019) Burgess. Both Joel and Noah have started a fundraising effort to raise money for Chris O’Brien Lifehouse in Camperdown, where their sister Naomi is receiving intensive treatment for cancer.
Their campaign has already received an extraordinary response. This is a heartbreaking time for their family, and I ask you to please consider reaching out to help the boys raise funds and awareness in support of Naomi.
Naomi has chosen to donate her long, blonde hair to Cancer Council’s ‘Ponytail Project’ which you can read more about below:
>>> Click here to view more information about the Cancer Council’s ‘Ponytail Project.’
Noah and Joel will also be shaving their heads to support Naomi. Please look out for Joel in Year 12, and support him in feeling courageous and positive about this show of support for his sister.
Congratulations to Ryland Short (Year 12). Ryland placed second in the annual 130km race from Wagga to Albury last Sunday. Last year this race was won by Olympian, Leigh Howard.
We wish Ryland all the best as he competes this weekend at the Oceania Games in Brisbane. Ryland will have an Individual Time Trial on Saturday and the Road Race on Sunday.
Congratulations to Xavier Miconi (Year 9 ), Jack Preller (Year 11 ) and Charlie Farrington (Year 11 ), who were selected to represent CAS against GPS and ISA in Tennis.

So much has happened both at school and on a national and international scale over the past two years. COVID-19, conflict in Europe, floods, and a number of families in our community affected by tragedies. Our faith is often challenged during these difficult periods.
Easter provides us with a time to stop, think, and reflect on our own lives and our relationship with others and the world around us.
Several years ago, His Holiness gave us all a clear message to consider through Lent and to Easter. The title of his message was: “The Word is a gift. Other persons are a gift.” Without making room for God’s word in their hearts, people will never be able to welcome and love all human life.
Pope Francis has said:
“Each life that we encounter is a gift deserving acceptance, respect and love. The word of God helps us to open our eyes to welcome and love life, especially when it is weak and vulnerable.”
His Holiness focused on the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. In the Gospel account, Lazarus and his suffering are described in great detail. While he is “practically invisible to the rich man,” the Gospel gives him a name and a face, upholding him as worthy, as “a gift, a priceless treasure, a human being whom God loves and cares for, despite his concrete condition as an outcast.”
Pope Francis added that the parable shows that “a right relationship with people consists in gratefully recognising their value … a poor person at the door of the rich is not a nuisance, but a summons to conversion and to change.”
The Pope has asked that Lent be a time “for renewing our encounter with Christ, living in his word, in the sacraments and in our neighbour.” This is something that we should consider doing, to renew our relationship with God during uncertain times.
On that note, on behalf of the dedicated staff who have worked tirelessly and often under great pressure this term, to ensure we maintained face-to-face learning at Waverley College, I would like to wish you all a very happy and restful Easter.
An exciting message for Year 11 students. Please keep the evening of Thursday, 26 May (Week 5) free for a special event. We understand that you missed the annual dinner cruise because of COVID-19 in 2021, so we have an announcement coming soon! More details will be released in Week 1 of next term.
When – Sunday, 1 May, 12pm to 1:30pm – students need to be in the Quadrangle by 11:30am and have their names marked off by their Mentor
Where – Centenary Quad
Dress – full winter uniform including blazer and tie must be worn
The College has been celebrating this event for over 100 years. The May Procession is a sacred celebration of our College founder Blessed Edmund Rice and our devotion to Mary, Jesus’ mother.
We are aware of and support a number of students who are involved in external sporting club commitments. As a note, however, we are expecting that all students are in attendance.

‘It’s Time We Talked’ is a violence-prevention initiative that supports young people, parents, schools, government and the community sector to understand and address the influence of pornography.
‘It’s Time We Talked’ grew out of Maree Crabbe’s work with young people in secondary schools and community settings.
Maree noticed that pornography was increasingly playing a role in how young people learn about, think about and experience sexuality. The young people she worked with were keen to talk about pornography, but the adults in their lives often had no idea about pornography’s prevalence or influence – and those who did, often didn’t feel equipped to have the conversations.
These observations led to more questions, research, planning and writing. With significant philanthropic support, ‘It’s Time We Talked’ began in 2009.
Following a presentation to staff earlier in the day, Maree will be presenting to parents that evening.
