As the Term and College year are now officially finished and with some students having been away over the last couple of weeks, the Book Hire Room will be open 8am-4pm, as well as a crate placed at the Senior School Reception from Monday, 5 December until Wednesday, 7 December for any outstanding textbooks that need to be returned.

Thank you so much for all your help and wishing everyone happy holidays!

Attention Year 12 Students

Congratulations on nearing the end of your secondary school life! Please consider donating your uniforms to the Secondhand Clothing Pool – there is a blue donation bin in the Senior School Reception.

This provides someone else with the opportunity to purchase a secondhand uniform well below the new price, and at the same time, raising funds for the College through the Parents’ Association.

$30 Buy Back Scheme – Blazer and All Weather Jackets

The Secondhand Clothing Pool will gladly accept the donation of all clean and wearable current uniform items for resale. There is a $30 ‘buy back scheme’ for the donation of Blazers and All Weather Jackets in excellent condition.

If leaving in the Clothing Pool bin in Reception, please include your name and number inside the bag, to arrange the ‘buy-back-scheme.’

Email us for more information or visit us on Monday mornings or Wednesday afternoons.

For more information, please email clothingpool@waverley.nsw.edu.au

New Opening Hours

In Term 4, we will be open Mondays 8:30-9:30am and Wednesdays 2:30-3:30pm.

Dear Year 12 Parents, Carers and Students

Please read below the following information regarding the upcoming HSC Examinations.  

All students are to be onsite in the Centenary Quad for the first exam – English Paper 1 – on Wednesday, 12 October by 9:20am at the latest.  

We will meet for all other examinations (except Music I and II which are in the PAC) in the Centenary Quad, 30 minutes prior to the time published in the NESA HSC Exam timetable. 

HSC Examinations Key Points and Processes

1. Students were issued with a copy of the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Rules and Regulations instructions at the start of Year 12. It is each student’s responsibility to comply with these regulations and attend his examinations on the correct date and time.
2. Misreading the timetable is not a ground for misadventure.
3. The 2022 HSC Examination timetable is in this link and the examinations begin with English Advanced and Standard Paper 1 at 9:50am on Wednesday, 12 October.  Make sure you read the special equipment list carefully on P.2 for each of your applicable subjects.
4. Students are to use black pens only during the exams. Blue pens are not permitted.
5. Students should be in attendance at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled starting time in full College Uniform (including the College Jersey). College rules regarding shaving, hairstyles etc… apply throughout the examination period.
6. Students must bring their ID cards. All mobile phones and notes must be put away in lockers – they cannot be taken into the examination room.
7. The College understands that NESA permits students to leave the examination room prior to the scheduled finishing time. It is an expectation of the College that students should use all available time to complete each examination to the best of their ability. Any student leaving an examination prior to the finishing time must sign out at the Well Being Centre. The College does not accept any responsibility incurred from a student’s early departure.
8. Any students who are absent or running late due to unforeseen circumstances, must notify Ms Kath Knowles as soon as possible on 9369 0651 Email: kknowles@waverley.nsw.edu.au or Ms Lara Ozdirik on 9369 0629 Email: lozdirik@waverley.nsw.edu.au

Wishing you all the best for the upcoming examination period.

Kind regards,  

Ms Watson

NESA launched the Stay Healthy HSC campaign on 28 July. Stay Healthy HSC is a cross-sector campaign, now running for its third year, and plays an important role in providing HSC students and their families access to essential health and wellbeing services and information.

This year’s campaign, with support from ReachOut, will roll out in three phases to encourage students to put their health and wellbeing first, connect with one another, and reach out to support services if needed.

The three phases include:

• Phase 1 – Be kind to your mind (from 28 July)
• Phase 2 – Check in Week in collaboration with ReachOut Australia (September)
• Phase 3 – The last lap (October)

Please find below the schedule for the Year 12 Tutorials in Term 3, Week 8. Topics covered during the tutorials include content revision, study skills, exam preparation and practice papers. These tutorials have proven extremely valuable and, while not compulsory, are strongly encouraged.

It is important that we know attendance numbers so teachers can prepare accordingly. To that end, the expectation is that students who register for the tutorial, attend. Rolls will be taken to assist us to manage the program. The cut-off time to register for morning tutorials is 3pm the day prior.

The Year 12 Semester 2 Progress Report will be available towards the end of next week, for you to view and download on the Parent Lounge in TASS. You will receive an email when the reports are ready, which will include the instructions on how to access the information on TASS.

This report will include your child’s Learner Profile grades, Trial Examination mark (or the mark for the most recent task for subjects that do not include an examination), rank and cohort rank number (number of students in the course), based on his assessment task(s) for each subject.

VET subjects do not include a mark or rank, as they are competency-based subjects.
