Dear Parents/ Carers and Students in Years 7-10
The Years 7-10 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.
Please see this message from NSW Health regarding online consent for your child’s school vaccinations in 2023.
If your child is in Year 7 or Year 10 this year, you can now provide online consent for their routine school vaccinations.
In Year 7, students are offered free vaccines for diphtheria–tetanus-pertussis (dTpa) and human papillomavirus (HPV). In Year 10, students are offered the meningococcal ACWY vaccine.
Vaccination will only be provided at school if consent has been received.
If you or your child do not have a Medicare card, consent can still be provided by requesting a paper-based consent form directly from Waverley College.
For more information on routine school vaccinations, please visit www.health.nsw.gov.au/schoolvaccination.
If you require information in your language, please visit www.health.nsw.gov.au/immunisation/Pages/school_vaccination_language.aspx

Thank you so much for all your help and wishing everyone happy holidays!
One more week left until the end of the term and end of the school year. With all exams done and dusted, assessments handed in and the summer holidays just around the corner, it’s time for all textbooks and English novels to be returned to Book Hire!
As such, if everyone can please ensure that ALL their textbooks have been returned by no later than Wednesday, 30 November, that would be greatly appreciated.
Please note that Book Hire is open Monday-Thursday, 8am-4pm, with the library as the second drop off point if needed.
A HUGE thank you to all students who have been diligent and returned their books already :)
Congratulations to our Year 7 students – the first year of secondary school almost done and dusted!
Starting next week, Monday 21 November, all students are kindly asked to bring all their textbooks to school from home, and check their lockers, having them ready to return to Book Hire or are welcome to place them in the marked crates in the library.
Please note that all textbooks are due no later than Monday, 28 November.
Thank you to all students who have already started handing in their textbooks this week :)

Each year since 1945, the Children’s Book Council of Australia has brought children and books together across Australia through CBCA Book Week. During this time, schools and public libraries spend one glorious week celebrating books and Australian children’s authors and illustrators. The theme this year is ‘Dreaming With Eyes Open.’
To celebrate Book Week, the Library is offering students of Year 7 a ‘Reader’s Pick.’ Students can either nominate their favourite book or a book that they would like to read. The Library will then purchase any nominated books that are not in the Library collection.
