We play our final round of winter fixtures for 2023 this weekend, except for Debating with two rounds to go. Well done to our 1sts and 2nds Debaters who were successful in their competition against a strong St Aloysius’ last weekend.
I want to thank and wish well all of the Year 12 students playing their final winter fixtures this weekend, as well as pay tribute to their parents/carers and families, particularly the long-serving members of the various Supporters’ Groups. It is a big weekend for a number of teams who are vying for premierships.
Last Friday we had four students competing in the Tag Team Challenge Surfing competition at Maroubra where they secured 2nd place and were only two points off 1st. Well done to Judah Miller, Milan Mann, Fred Carmody and Cooper Gee.
In the July holidays we also had a large group of boys competing in the NSW Schools Snow Sports competitions. A huge thank you to Ms Paula McCabe for once again facilitating this event.
In the school holidays, eight Waverley College students also competed at the Sydney Interschool Snowsport Championships at Thredbo from 10-14 July.
Congratulations also to Connor Moran (Year 5), Oscar Litchfield (Year 6), Jordan Mano (Year 8), Aidan Giusti (Year 8) and Charlie Thompson (Year 12) for their commendable races and first ever Sydney Interschools events.
We hope to see more boys competing next year on behalf of the College.

Well done to all staff, students, parents and carers with their work on our Indigenous Round last weekend. In particular, I want to thank Mr Kevin Heath and Aunty Barb as well as members of the College’s Indigenous community for assisting in producing some wonderful ceremonies.
We have two more rounds of winter activities to go and are competing for a number of premierships in Football, Rugby, AFL and Volleyball. Our 1sts Volleyball are currently undefeated in Division 2 and are having a wonderful season.
We also have a number of Presentation Evenings coming up in a couple of weeks and we hope that many members of the College community will be able to celebrate the winter 2023 season.
With only two rounds to go I want to remind all students, parents, carers and spectators that we still need to ensure we are meeting appropriate standards and codes of conduct at all times.
Our last round of winter is on Saturday, 5 August and we then commence the Track & Field season on Monday, 7 August. Any student is more than welcome to participate in Athletics and the squad will train every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. We had a great Track & Field season in 2022 and are looking to build on this.
Just a reminder that any student who wishes to apply for a change in their summer activities needs to come and see myself or Mr Wilmot before the end of next week. Some activities are already full, so students will need to select three preferences if they wish to change.
Best wishes to all Year 12 students for their HSC Trials commencing next week.
Our annual Indigenous round of sport against Knox Grammar School will launch this Saturday, 22 July.

We are at home to Cranbrook this weekend for a number of teams, as well as having fixtures at Cranbrook. This week also signifies the halfway mark of the winter season, and with only two more rounds this Term and another three rounds at the start of next Term, all students need to ensure that they are attending all training sessions and fixtures.
It was great to see many students in attendance last weekend as spectators, correctly attired in their full Waverley College co-curricular or school uniform. There are still a couple of individuals who are not meeting these expectations, and I want to reinforce that it is essential that all students at any co-curricular venue are correctly attired at all times.
Congratulations to the debaters who participated in the inter-schools model UN day at Cranbrook on Tuesday, 30 May. Students participated in a diplomatic simulation of the United Nations to debate and build resolutions to real-world issues.

Good luck to all students involved in the Piano Competition next Tuesday at the PAC Recital Room.

A special thank you to Michael O’Loughlin (former professional Australian Rules footballer and Managing Director and Founder of CMC Indigenous Services), who spoke to the team and presented the jerseys before the game, and all the students involved in the Smoking Ceremony before the game.

Last weekend, Waverley College played another terrific trial fixture against St Augustine’s College, Brookvale. The “Super Saturday” was a great hit across the community with all A teams from 13As to 1st XV playing on QP1. It was certainly a meaningful match up, with a number of tight contests played out across the day. The defensive efforts from both schools was a feature of the day, with only a try or two proving to be the difference in many results.
Congratulations to the 1st XV who enjoyed a great win. The hard work paid off as the first “Custard Pie” of 2023 was sung loudly and proudly at Queens Park. The 1st XV match included a nice moment at the After Match Function with the St Augustine’s coach, Craig Morrison, who also coached the 2002 Waverley College CAS premiership side, reunited with 2002 CAS premiership player and Waverley College 1st XV Coach, Mr Scott Coleman. While at different schools now, it was fantastic to see the friendship continuing with the memory of the 2002 team proudly protected in the records held at Queens Park.
We would like to pass on our thanks to all those members of the community who donated their time last weekend to assist on the BBQ and Canteen at Queens Park. We are incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful group of parents, carers and friends in our community, who acted as amazing hosts for our visiting guests from St Augustine’s College. The BBQ was such a hit, that the food all sold out in quick time.
We do hope that parents, carers and friends enjoyed meeting each other in such a positive setting. This weekend we would love your help again, and potentially it might be a chance for you to reconnect to some of the parents, carers or friends who you might have made connections with, last weekend. If you are available, please click the button below to log your interest. We also would love any assistance the following weekend when we host Cranbrook.

Waverley College were proud to host the first ever “Legends Coaching” week. It was wonderful to see a number of ex-players and coaches who attended Waverley or are involved with the College (as parents/carers) and have played/coached sport at the highest level.
Our legends included current Waratahs Coach Darren Coleman, and Rugby League Immortal Andrew Johns (parents of students), Wallabies Morgan Turinui, Owen Finegan and Stephen Hoiles (all Old Boys and current parents of students), and current Waratahs/Wallabies player, Ben Donaldson (Old Boy).
We were very lucky that these coaches gave up their time to assist us in our preparation for the CAS competition. Each coach brought a wealth of knowledge and tactical prowess that we will look to employ into our games, moving forward. Above all, these sessions aimed to give students the confidence to improve both as an individual and in a team environment, while they enjoy representing themselves, their family and their school.
A huge thanks must go to Coaching Director, Mr Lachlan Drew-Morris, who developed and organised the week!
This weekend, Waverley College will play against two different schools: St Gregory’s and St Pius. Both schools will undoubtedly provide competitive fixtures for all teams as we head towards the CAS competition.
We do apologise to our 15C and 14E teams who have a BYE weekend. This is due to a number of injuries/concussion impacting upon some of our opposing schools, which forced them to withdraw from the matches at late notice. Certainly, players in these sides are welcome to support the other teams in their respective age groups.
Last weekend, we did have a large amount of lost property which was left behind at Queens Park. We do ask students to please check the Wellbeing Centre, as all items which were left behind, have been taken up to the Senior School.
As we draw nearer to June, we are very close to seeing the commencement of the CAS competition. On Saturday, 3 June, our 13s, 16s and Opens will meet Cranbrook at home (Queens Park), while our 14s and 15s will play at nearby Woollahra.
Following this, we have the King’s Birthday Long Weekend, in which we will not have any school sport fixtures. The following weekend (17 June), we have our final fixture for Term 2. This will be CAS Round 2 against Barker College. Our 14s and 15s will play at Queens Park, while our 13s, 16s and Opens teams will play on the Barker College school grounds at Hornsby.
We wish all teams the very best of luck for this weekend!
WAVERLEY TO WIN!
