Head of Aungier House, Mr John McCoy
I would like to welcome all Waverley College families to what looks to be a very promising year of Rugby.
I would particularly like to welcome all new players and families. Waverley College has a very proud history of Rugby. I encourage new families to have at look the photos and records found in the T & M Hayes (Queens Park) Pavilion at some stage this season, to give you an idea of the proud history you are stepping into. You are all very welcome!

Have You Watched the 2021 Rugby Highlights Video?
It was a disappointing end to the 2021 season, which was cut short as a result of COVID-19. In remembering some of the wonderful Rugby that was played last year, as well as getting our community excited for the year ahead, I encourage you to watch the 2021 highlights video.
Thanks to the Elder Family for putting together this fantastic clip.

Waverley College Rugby Supporters’ Club (Parents and Carers) – We Need You!
The Waverley College Rugby Supporters’ Club are looking for any parents and friends in our community who are interested in joining our team.
We have been extremely fortunate to have wonderful parents and friends who have helped create such a wonderful atmosphere at Queens Park over the years. We are looking for interested parents to carry on this tradition.
Should you be interested in joining the club, particularly if you are interested in being part of the committee in a leadership role, we encourage interested parents and friends to meet some of the current committee members in the Pavilion over the coming two Saturdays on 26 March and 2 April.

Weekend Schedule – Saturday, 26 March, 2022
This weekend we are holding training sessions and some internal trials for all age groups. This will be held at Queens Park with the schedule for the morning sent out by Mr Steve O’Donnell. Coaches have been instructed to use the Saturday session as a training session, as we gradually work into contact.
Lost Property
A reminder that all players need to label all their gear and clothing. Each season we have a collection of lost property at Queens Park. If uniform/gear is labelled with the student’s name, it will usually find its way back to the owner!
Holiday Training
We are holding some holiday training sessions during the upcoming Easter Holiday break. The schedule will be communicated to parents and players in the coming weeks.
Team App
*Please note the Waverley Rugby Team App is no longer in use. All communications which were once found on the Team App will now be found on the Waverley College App. Please ensure you subscribe (tag) ‘Rugby’ as your Co-Curricular Activity.
