From Friday 25 June at 12pm you will be able to make bookings for the Year 7-10 Parent / Teacher / Student Interviews to be held on Monday 19 July from 8:30am – 6.30pm. This will occur through the TASS Parent Lounge.
The interviews will run in two sessions:
Zoom codes will be sent out prior to the session.
In order to have staff available to as many families as possible, interviews will be of five minutes’ duration. To make the process as efficient as possible and to minimise lost time, we are requesting that you don’t make consecutive bookings, and leave at least a five minute gap between your bookings to allow time to move between meetings with the teachers.
Please ensure that you make bookings with your son’s main teacher in instances where one period is taken by another teacher.

This is a friendly reminder that there are subject selection pop in sessions for parents and students of Year 8 on Tuesday 15 June from 6pm – 6:30pm. This is an optional session for any students or parents who have individual questions for Heads of Department following reading the subject selection slides and booklet.
Information on the process is included below as per the article that has been in Nurrunga for the last three weeks.
As your sons will be entering Year 9 next year, for the first time they will have some choice over their pattern of study for Years 9 and 10. Over Years 9 and 10, apart from the mandatory subjects, the students study two additional subjects commonly referred to as electives.
Click here for the booklet that outlines the pattern of study that students undertake over Years 9 and 10, including the elective subjects available.
Initially, the College is delivering the information for Subject Selection Information session via the Waverley College website. Click here to access Subject Selection Information.

The actual subject selection process will be done online early next term. Students will receive an email with a link and a password to access the system in mid-June. Students should complete their subject selections online, print the confirmation and submit this in hard copy form via the box outside Ms Lamonica’s office on Level 1 by Thursday 22 July.
Details on how to do this process will be sent out closer to the time.
The most important thing is that the students are selecting elective subjects that they will enjoy. These are important decisions to make as they will influence the staffing and resourcing decisions the College has to make for the 2022 timetable.

As you know students in Year 8 don’t have an opportunity to study Drama as part of their curriculum. Hence the Drama Department is providing students with an opportunity to watch a performance and participate in a workshop in the final week of Term 2.
Zeal Theatre are coming to perform a play called Meltdown for Year 8, during periods 1 and 2 on Monday 10 May, 2021. Your son will then be withdrawn from one further period during the day, to participate in a Drama devising workshop.
Hopefully this will inspire some students who have forgotten about Drama to choose it as an elective in Year 9. For others, it will be an opportunity to watch an issue-based performance, and participate in a fun, experiential workshop. The workshop aims to give students an opportunity to learn theatrical techniques and work as a team to create an original play and perform it to the rest of the workshop group.
Venue: Waverley College
Date: Monday 10 May 2021
Meeting Time/Place: Braidwood, beginning period 1
Uniform: Full school uniform
Cost: $10.00 (This will be added to your account)
Meltdown Synopsis (from Zeal’s website):
Zeal Theatre’s 50th original production, ‘Meltdown’ deals with fear, depression, anxiety, stress and anger. Zane is 15 and his ‘normal’ family is rife with mental health issues; a Year 12 sister paralysed by fear, a stressed-out Mum, a little sister hooked on Social Media, a baby brother who can’t stop crying, and a volcanic Dad about to explode. With Zeal’s dynamic multi-character acting and blend of music, drama and comedy, Meltdown is a powerful story for all secondary students.
Meltdown is written and performed by Zeal veterans who play a multitude of characters in a fast-paced production, blending elements of heightened naturalism, expressionism and verbatim theatre.
