With the beginning of the HSC year now having begun for Year 11/12 students (and Year 10 approaching senior study), InspirationED would like to share some free live-streamed webinars taking place on Sunday, 13 November.
Designed for both students and parents/carers in Years 10 and 11, the webinars will be delivered by qualified counsellors and senior HSC markers to address the following topics:
For those who cannot make the live sessions, we will share the recordings as on-demand videos for all registrations.
If you require any further information, please call 1300 677 336.
The time of exams is upon us, which means that the Year 10 textbooks are now due.
As we are aware, there is a tight window between the exams and Service Week, therefore if you can please ensure that all textbooks are returned to the Book Hire room or Library, before or straight after the exams, that would be greatly appreciated.
The Book Hire room is open Monday-Thursday, 8am-4pm.
Best of luck to all in the exams and thank you for all your help!
Current Parents/Carers and Students of Years 9 and 10, are invited to an Immersion Information Night on Tuesday, 15 November in the PAC, starting at 6pm, if they are interested in participating in any Immersions in 2023.
At the moment, we are currently organising immersions for Timor-Leste, Fiji and Red Earth Cape York. All information regarding costing and expected itineraries, will be discussed on the night.
These wonderful formation opportunities are a privilege to be part of, as we work to build relationships with the communities we visit. As such, places will be limited, and students will need to undergo an interview process for selection.
I look forward to having students take up these life-changing experiences and hope to see you there.

The South Eastern Sydney Local Health District is due to attend Waverley College, next week on Tuesday, 16 August, 2022 for Year 10 routine school vaccinations.
The following vaccines are being offered to students in 2022:
| YEAR | VACCINE | NUMBER OF DOSES |
| Year 10 | Meningococcal ACWY (MenACWY) | 1 dose |
Parent Information Kits which include an information sheet, consent form and privacy statement have been distributed to students to be taken home and signed.
These were distributed to all students in Year 10 in the house assemblies held on Friday, 22 July, 2022. If you wish for your child to receive school vaccinations please return your consent card to the Health Centre as soon as possible.
Please note, that any vaccine offered to students at school requires the signed consent of parents/carers. If the consent form is not returned by Tuesday, 16 August, 2022 then your child will not be able to receive the vaccination. Only the hard copy of the vaccination form is accepted (no scans or photocopies are accepted by NSW Health).
Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If you do not wish for your child to receive the MenACWY then do not return a signed vaccination form. Parents/carers who wish to withdraw consent may do so by writing or by phoning the school.
Should your child miss the upcoming clinic, they will be offered catch-up vaccination throughout the year where possible. If your child is due to receive catch-up vaccination in the school program but has received their dose with the GP, please inform the school as soon as possible to avoid any potential vaccination errors.
