Winter Activities Continue

Waverley College hosted St Stanislaus and All Saints from Bathurst last Saturday in the Rugby and winter certainly arrived with cold, rainy and blustery conditions. A huge thank you to all of the parents/carers who assisted in the canteen and on the BBQ with all teams playing home rugby fixtures.

There were some impressive results, including Jamie Granger’s match-winning try for the 3rd XV to beat All Saints 1st XV on the final siren.

Our 1st XI Football had a hard fought win up at Hornsby and 1sts Volleyball are now 3 from 3 in Division 1.

Uniform and Travel Reminders

We have a number of teams and fixtures playing away this coming weekend. Please allow for enough travel time for the busy Saturday traffic to arrive 30 minutes prior as a minimum to warm up effectively.

I would also like to remind all students who come and support their peers or 1sts teams that full Waverley College playing attire or winter uniform is the only acceptable gear to wear.

Rostrum Voice of Youth NSW State Finals

A huge congratulations to James Peate on qualifying for the Rostrum Voice of Youth NSW State Finals at Shore on 22 June from 2pm. James would love to have students willing to attend to support in full winter uniform. The competition concludes around 6pm. We wish James well for his preparations and the tournament.

Chess and Debating

Just a reminder to our Chess and Debating teams that they still are required to attend their fixtures this Friday evening despite the early finish due to May Procession.

Good luck to all activities this weekend!

Legends Coaching Week

Last week, using our Old Boy and Parents network, we hosted our annual Legends Coaching Week. This provided opportunities for our students to learn from experienced and professional players and coaches. These sessions allowed students to receive feedback on individual and team skills whilst gaining an insight into the requirements of a professional athlete.

Wet Weekend

The weather has continued to impact the co-curricular program over the past couple of weeks. Luckily, we were still able to get some fixtures in last weekend. The 1sts and 2nds Rugby, along with the U14s and 15s played some games on Saturday at Riverview. The 1st XV were able to secure a famous and gutsy win at Riverview for the first time in many years.

Our Debating teams on Friday night also performed extremely well. Thank you to all of the students, parents/carers and staff who braved the conditions to support those fixtures last weekend.

We also had some students competing at the NSWCIS Swimming and Diving championships last week and a huge thank you to Ms Nicola Silsby for supporting all CAS competitors. Well done to all competitors, but especially Jack Kerves and Hugo Binder who have now qualified for NSW All Schools in Swimming and Darcy Dawson in Diving.

Jack Kerves

We also had a number of students trial and be selected in the NSWCIS AFL sides last week. Well done to Dashiel Delany-Fielding, Hayden McAusland and Henry Lamond in the U15s side.

Well done also to Fred Carmody on his recent performances at the Australian SLS titles that included a gold medal in U17 surfing and a bronze in the opens competitions.

Congratulations also to Cameron Reed who participated in the CIS U15 Boys Hockey trial earlier this week. Despite having turning 13 only a couple of months ago, Cameron was selected to represent the CIS this year. Well done!

Strong Start to Term 2

Well done to all students, staff, coaches and parents/carers on a strong start to the Term 2 winter co-curricular season. The weather has been disruptive, however, students have demonstrated a good resilience and enthusiasm to want to represent Waverley last weekend. We did have some fixtures washed out including a full round of AFL but also had some strong performances in Debating, Football and Rugby across a number of age groups.

Team selections are still ongoing and we ask that parents/carers and students be patient with the coaches and staff. The weather and parent teacher interviews have meant we are still working to finalise teams.

Winter Co-curricular Leaders and 1sts Teams

Last Thursday we recognised our winter co-curricular leaders and 1sts teams. Congratulations to the students HERE.

Holiday Successes

We also had a number of staff, students and parents/carers sacrifice a lot of time and effort over the recent holidays to ensure Waverley students continue to be able to represent at the highest levels. A snap shot of some of these include:

Hopefully the weather will hold out for this weekend and good luck to all students and teams.

Australian Track & Field Championships

Whilst the majority of our students were enjoying some rest over the first week of holidays, 10 of Waverley’s finest Track and Field athletes travelled to Adelaide for the Australian Championships.

The culmination of a long and arduous season is a true test of every athlete’s mental and physical capacity. Waverley was well represented with 10 athletes spanning from the U13 to U20 age groups. Our boys competed over various disciplines with many resulting in personal bests or their highest placing at a national championship.

Highlights included a historic treble by Evan Rowbotham in winning the U15 800m, 1500m and 3000m events. Vaidas Levi secured a bronze medal in the U15 Javelin and George Lambousis narrowly missed a bronze medal by 0.01s in the U13 100m. Congratulations to all our other boys who represented NSW at the highest level.

Do You Need a Mouthguard Fitted for the Upcoming Winter Season?

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.

Commencement of the Winter Season

Congratulations and well done to all students, staff and parents/carers on the conclusion of the senior summer season. Special mention to the Year 12s on their final season of summer activities at the College.

Next week we commence the winter season for most activities. All students starting next week need to ensure they have the appropriate attire and equipment for their relevant sport. We will also spend most of the weeks this Term going through selections for the winter season.

Please also be patient with the trials processes and our coaches and staff will do the best they can from what they observe. Students’ attitudes and application at training will also influence their selections. All teams remain fluid throughout the season and selections are ongoing. Whilst we look at previous year’s teams, these are a fresh round of trials and adolescent boys grow and develop at different rates. We also don’t pick on reputation based on external club and representative teams.

If there are any students not happy with their initial selections, they are encouraged to seek feedback on where to improve from their coaches.

*If any parents/carers have any queries or concerns then please contact the Convenor of that activity or myself. Please do not contact or speak to coaches directly.

NSW State Nipper Titles

We had a number of students last weekend competing at the NSW State Nipper titles and they were representing a range of clubs. From all reports, there were a number of Waverley students who won a number of medals and well done to all who went up to Queenscliff.

Water Polo

Congratulations to the 1st Water Polo who had a great win on Saturday of 14-6 against St Ignatius’ Riverwood to complete the season.

By the end of day two, Brennan House had stormed home to claim the House Swimming Shield for the 5th year in a row, once Years 10-12 had competed.

Well done to all students and staff for a great two days of action in the water.

Basketballer Old Boys Return for Banner Raising Ceremony

Recently, the College hosted a function for approximately 30 Old Boys from our 1992, 1994, 1995, 1998 and 2006 CAS Premiership-winning teams. Also in attendance was long-serving, legendary coach, Mr Curt Forrester, who coached the four 1990s teams to their premiership success.

Basketball Old Boys function

The night began in the PAC (Performing Arts Centre) Foyer where the Old Boys had the opportunity to catch up with each other, reminisce about their playing days and share their stories since leaving the College. Many of the Old Boys addressed the gathering and spoke fondly of their time at the College and playing together under coach Forrester.

Old Boys Basketball function

Before the start of the 1st V game against St Aloysius’ College, Mr Forrester and Old Boy representatives from each of the premiership-winning teams participated in a brief on-court banner presentation where members of our 7As and 7Bs players presented Mr Forrester and each Old Boy with a banner.
