Students from Waverley College and St Clare’s College in Years 9-12, are performing in our school production of Cosi on Tuesday, 7 June, Wednesday, 8 June and Thursday, 9 June at 7pm in the Br R. J. Wallace Performing Arts Centre (PAC).
Waverley College is committed to an all-round education of boys, including the Creative Arts. It is very important to expose students to theatre from an early age, because it helps to increase their dramatic literacy.
As such, it is my pleasure to inform you that students in the following classes are invited to attend the matinee performance of Cosi at 12pm on Tuesday, 7 June at no charge.
Students will participate in class discussions around the staging of the show, the production elements such as the set, lighting and sound effects used, as well as, the directorial vision and the acting techniques evident throughout.
For the Drama students, there is a written task associated with viewing the production.
If your son studies one of the following subjects, then yes you do:

The Year 12 Semester 1 Report will be available next week for you to view and download on the Parent Lounge in TASS. We will inform parents and carers via email when the reports are available.
This report provides an overview of your son’s performance in Semester 1 for each subject including: A-E grades for the focus subject outcomes, at least two recommendations and commendations outlining suggested targets and areas of strength for your son, Learner Profile grades and a mark, cohort average (mean) based on the most recent assessment task, and course ranking based on his cumulative assessment total so far in Year 12.
Once you log on, select the [Academic Reports] option from the menu on the left. You will then be presented with a list of available reports. In this case it will be the Year 12 Semester 1 Report, where you will be able to download a PDF.
Further information about how your son has performed in his cohort is available via the Parent Lounge Analytics. You should go to the [Student Details] drop down menu and select [Academic Analytics]. Please note, that this will be available approximately 24 hours after the release of these reports. This area provides a box and whiskers graph that allows parents and carers to view the position of their son’s mark in relation to the rest of the cohort in each subject. The box and whiskers plot indicates student groupings by quartile and median.
