Waverley College Year 12 students have been given the opportunity to attend the award-winning RYDA Road Safety Education workshop (COVIDSafe measures will apply). RYDA is designed for 16-17 year olds as they begin to drive or ride in cars driven by their peers.
This workshop, which supports classroom learning as part of a broader program, provides students with the tools, habits and motivation to take action and stay safe on our roads, throughout their lives, as both drivers and passengers. Students do not need to have their license to take part in the workshop.
This is the perfect time in students’ lives to engage in this program, as it addresses, in a real and practical way, the many dangers and challenges young people face on our roads. In small groups, students work with facilitators to develop and practise personalised strategies and life skills, which will help them make positive choices, both as drivers and highly influential passengers.
The workshop combines personal stories, demonstrations and interactive activities to ensure that students are engaged during the sessions. Information regarding the RYDA excursion is detailed below.
Date: Monday, 7 February, 2022
Venue: Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre
Depart from school: 8:15am
Return to school: 3:10pm
Cost: $55.10 per student (charged to your account)
Yes. Please complete the permission slip below before Monday, 7 February.

As your son’s school career draws to a close, the time has come to look at what’s ahead. This includes starting to clear out what lies behind you, such as your Waverley uniforms.
We hope that many of you have benefitted from the Waverley College Secondhand Clothing Pool over your years at the College, and would love for you to consider gifting back to the College community by donating your son’s current uniforms, (academic and sports as well as bags), to the Secondhand Clothing Pool. Donations of all current uniform items, in clean and wearable condition for resale, are greatly appreciated.
This will provide someone else with the opportunity to purchase a secondhand uniform at reduced cost, whilst at the same time raising funds for the College through the Parents’ Association. A $30 ‘buy back scheme’ is on offer for the donation of Blazers and All Weather Jackets in excellent condition. Contact the Parent Volunteers at the Secondhand Clothing Pool via email to arrange the ‘Buy Back’: clothingpool@waverley.nsw.edu.

Many thanks for your continued support of the Parents’ Association who are driving initiatives to support our students and community.
We wish you and your boys all the very best for their post-school adventures, and hope that they will remember their time at Waverley, fondly.
Donate today!

Please read below the following information regarding the upcoming HSC Examinations.
All students are to be onsite for the first exam – English Paper 1 – on Tuesday, 9 November by 9:20am at the latest.
We will meet in the Centenary Quad and you will be seated to ensure physical distancing.
This will be the same for:
We will meet for all other examinations (except Music I and II) on the Rooftop space, thirty (30) minutes prior to the time published in the NESA HSC Exam timetable below. Please ensure you use the stairs when making your way up to the roof, because you will not be able to access the lift.
Read NESA’s COVID-safe exam rules carefully:
Ensure on your arrival that you:
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.
The examinations begin with English Advanced and Standard Paper 1 at 9:50 am on Tuesday, 9 November. Make sure you read the special equipment list carefully on P.2 for each of your applicable subjects.
4. Students should be in attendance at least thirty (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.
5. 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.
6. 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 Wellbeing Centre. The College does not accept any responsibility incurred from a student’s early departure.
7. COVID-19 measures from NSW Health include the following advice:
a) Students and staff must not attend an exam if:
i) They have flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore/scratchy throat, shortness of breath, loss of taste or sense of smell);
ii) They have been tested for COVID-19 and have not yet received their test result;
iii) They have been directed by NSW health to self-isolate;
iv) They have tested positive for COVID-19.
b) Students and staff must:
i) Confirm they have not been asked by NSW Health to self-isolate and do not have any flu-like symptoms before they enter the exam room;
ii) Practice good personal hygiene during the exam including:
c) Students and staff must wear a face mask. NESA has sent through further details regarding masks this week which are outlined below:
HSC students must wear a face mask inside the exam room and while waiting to enter, unless they have a medical exemption.
Students can remove their mask to adjust it or drink water.
It is a breach of exam rules to not wear a mask (without a medical exemption).
The Presiding Officer will refer students who are not wearing a mask to the Principal to discuss consequences.
The consequences of not wearing a mask have been included in the Malpractice Warning, which is read to students at the start of every exam by the Presiding Officer.
Requiring students to wear a face mask during the HSC exams reduces the risk of students, presiding officers and supervisors:
d) If a student presents with flu-like symptoms they may be required to leave the exam room and will be advised to be tested for COVID-19 and seek medical advice;
e) Students submit a COVID illness/misadventure application, where appropriate;
f) Students with known illnesses with symptoms similar to COVID-19 will need to provide necessary medical documentation and notify Ms Porter prior to the examination.
8. Any students who are absent (as per the COVID-19 instructions above) or running late due to unforeseen circumstances must notify Ms Kath Knowles as soon as possible on 9369 0651 or kknowles@waverley.nsw.edu.au.
Wishing you all the best for the upcoming examination period.

Students can collect it from the canteen from 8:30am, and if they’re unable to collect it before school, then Nina will have the breakfast available at recess to pick up from the quadrangle.
We hope their last few weeks at the College are enjoyed. We’re thinking of them as they commence their HSC exams.
