Dear Parents/ Carers and Students in Years 7-12,
All students in Years 7 and 8 should have received their stationery pack and class teachers will advise when and what materials are needed for particular lessons.
Years 9 and 10 teachers will also advise students about subject specific requirements.
In the interim, students are advised to bring writing materials: exercise books and pens, as well as their laptop, to all classes.
The same advice applies to Years 11 and 12 students.
Dear Parents/ Carers and Students in Years 7-12,
The Years 7-12 Assessment Booklets are currently going through the final checks and will be available on the College Website next week. Parents/ Carers and Students will receive an email with a direct link to the page on the College website where they will be able to download the latest version of the schedules plus other relevant information.
Students should ensure that they save a copy of the schedule on their laptop and it is recommended that they add the key dates to their College Diaries.

Historically, Waverley College offered the graduated Year 12 students an opportunity to work casually in the Book Hire department after their HSC exams, until the end of February the following year (with a few weeks during the school holidays as well).
Assisting with textbook returns and loans, covering and repairing books, as well as stocktaking, are some of the tasks undergone in this role.
If you are or know of an HSC student who would like to apply for this role, please:
Any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me via the above email as well.

My goodness, I cannot believe that we have already reached Term 4 and the HSC exams! First, I would like to wish all our Year 12s the best of luck. It has been wonderful to see boys preparing and studying hard for their exams.
As such, all textbooks need to be returned by Friday, 10 November 2023 at the latest, since we start issuing those books to the 2024 cohort right upon return.
Ideally, students are required to drop off their textbooks to Book Hire where textbooks will be checked and returned / removed from their loan record, with the opening hours below:
Monday 8am-4pm
Tuesday Return via the College Library
Wednesday 8am-4pm
Thursday 8am-4pm
Friday 8am-4pm.
However, there will also be marked crates with signage Textbook Returns:
Any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me via email bookhire@waverley.nsw.edu.au
