From the Headmaster 

On Thursday evening this week, I was invited 

by the Mayor of Waverley, Cr Paul Wakefield (a 

Waverley College Pre-School parent), to deliver 

the address at the Waverley Council Citizenship 

Ceremony. On this night, over fifty people from 

a range of backgrounds and countries read the 

Pledge of Allegiance to Australia and were officially 

welcomed by the Australian Government. It was 

a great privilege to be present, to witness the 

emotions felt by each person and to experience 

the celebratory atmosphere created by friends and 

family in attendance. 

In my address, I spoke about the contribution of 

Waverley College to the region: 

“As an independent Catholic school in the Eastern 

Suburbs of Sydney, Waverley College shares the 

provision of education with other independent 

schools, CEO Schools and government schools. 

In this context, Waverley is a comprehensive, 

inclusive, academically non-selective school which 

offers a wide range of courses and co-curricular 

opportunities to students from all backgrounds in 

our Pre-School, Junior School and Senior School.” 

I then spoke about the goals of Waverley College 

as described in our Strategic Plan. I mentioned 

Waverley boys at 

the cutting edge of 

learning 

Last week, all Year 10 

students received brand new 

Macbook Air computers as 

part of ‘Waverley iLearn’, the 

College’s innovative blended 

learning program. 

Excited students and families 

received the laptops at a 

special evening where they 

were briefed on use and 

care of the laptops, security 

measures at school and 

on public transport, cyber 

safety and physical health 

when using and carrying the 

equipment. 

that schools are a reflection of the hopes and 

dreams of the broader community. As such, the 

goals Waverley College are essentially the goals 

and standards – in fact, non-negotiables - for 

citizenship. I referred to our commitment as a 

school to Beliefs, Innovation, Relationships, 

Resources, Environment, Leadership and Life 

(BIRRELL). This was expanded to an examination 

of how we form each other: 

• As people of faith 

• As innovative, inspired learners 

• As hopeful, proactive resilient people 

• As a community prepared to share our 

resources with the poor 

• As carers of our environment 

• As confident, just, compassionate leaders 

• As ethical and reverent human beings. 

These are my expectations of myself, of all students 

and staff, and of familes and friends of Waverley 

College. These expectations and standards are the 

foundations of good citizenship.

Prayer for the Week 

On Sunday 27th, Christians 

will celebrate Pentecost, 

the feast held 50 days after 

Easter. We give thanks to 

God for the gift of the Holy 

Spirit. The coming of the Holy 

Spirit gave courage to the 

frightened disciples. They 

went out to tell others about 

Jesus. The Holy Spirit helps 

us to carry on the work of 

Jesus and gives us new life. 

God of Peace, 

We pray that our Church will 

be guided by the Holy Spirit 

and that all Christians will live 

in peace, united by the Holy 

Spirit. 

We ask this through Christ our 

Lord, 

Amen.

Curriculum News: Reviewing and revising 

Exams and Revision 

It is a busy time of year at Waverley at present with 

much of the School doing tests and revision for end of 

semester tasks. 

Yesterday Mr Paxton and myself taught our three 

classes of Year 8 Critical Thinking. We had a fantastic 

lesson planned (Of course it was fantastic!) around 

watching a clip of the Berlin Wall and getting them 

to think about and ask questions using Bloom’s 

Taxonomy (see illustration at right). 

The aim was to move them from asking simple 

‘Remembering’ and ‘Understanding’ questions to 

higher levels of questioning involving the skills of 

analysis and evaluation. It was well planned, taught 

and delivered for most of the day. The Period 6 class, 

however, came in after just completing a test and for 

the first 5-10 minutes the chatter was about, “What did 

you write for that question?”, “Did you think the test 

was hard?”, “How do you think you went?”. Both of 

us laughed because we were observing the flow-on 

effects of the assessment period and instead of diving 

into the lesson we let them talk about the test that 

seemed more important to them than the lesson on 

the Berlin Wall. 

We eventually got to the lesson, but on reflection 

realized how keen this class was to discuss the test. 

These boys were keen. In a few weeks these tests 

will be marked and passed back to the boys to find out 

how they went and then begin the next cycle of exams 

and revision next term. 

Assessment and Exam Week is a new process at 

Waverley this year for Years 7-10 and as part of 

this process teachers and Heads of Department will 

discuss how things went and what could be improved 

for the end of the year. One of the things I want 

to discover is what makes this class so eager for 

learning and results so that we can spread this to 

other classes in Year 8 and the school. 

I would be happy to hear from any parents either by 

email or phone on their thoughts around exams and 

revision at Waverley. 

Last week I spoke to a Year 7 parent who wanted to 

know what their son needed to study for the exams. 

Each department summarises this information and it 

is placed on EWave, the internal school portal that all 

boys and parents have access too. Any parent can 

access this information using their son’s login details. 

Year 12 Reports and Academic 

Progress 

As we go to press the Year 12 Reports are being 

printed, signed and mailed out to parents. This is an 

important time for Year 12 boys, teachers and parents. 

We are into the final few weeks of Term 2 and this 

report data will be an important measurement tool of 

progress for Year 12 since the last report in early Term 

One. A few events are happening with Year 12 this 

term to assist them and prepare them for the HSC and 

beyond. 

1. Careers Interviews 

Mrs Kath Knowles – Senior Studies and Careers 

Coordinator is interviewing each Year 12 student this 

term to help them plan for a future career pathway. 

The aim is for each boy to sit with Mrs Knowles and 

think about University, TAFE or other options and 

to plan accordingly. This is a time-intensive but 

important task that provides the best possible to guide 

our students as time marches closer towards HSC 

Trials, then HSC exam and life beyond. 

2. Year 12 Academic Mentoring Interviews 

Each boy in Year 12 has an academic mentor, who is 

a member of the College Executive, Senior Studies 

Team, Year Master or Head of Department. This 

term they will again find time in Week 8 or 9 to meet 

with Year 12, discuss their latest report and chart a 

pathway to the HSC Trials. Each Year 12 boy will be 

asked the same questions they were asked in 

Term 1: 

• What subjects were you pleased with in your 

last report. Why? 

• What subjects were you disappointed with? 

• What strategies can you put into play to improve 

your subjects? 

• What goals would you like to set yourself for the 

next term? 

• Tell me about your study habits. How is your 

time management going? 

Study Skills Tip for June: Reviewing 

your work on a daily basis 

Did you know that if you don’t look at what you 

are learning for a second time within 24 hours you 

forget 80% of the detail? This is why your teachers 

encourage you to review what you learn each day 

when you get home from school. 

One of the best habits you can develop is the 

following: each afternoon, even before you start your 

homework, spend 10-15 minutes reviewing what you 

learnt at school that day. 

There are lots of different ways you can do this 

review, here are some ideas (and you can do 

something different every day): 

1. Highlight the key points in each lesson. 

2. Write down the top 3 things you learnt in each 

lesson (you could do this in a separate book or 

at the bottom of the day’s classwork). 

3. Make a mind map about what you have been 

learning in class. 

4. Try and explain what you did in each lesson that 

day to a family member (or even to the cat). 

5. Go on a Google adventure, do some quick 

research on one interesting thing from each 

lesson. 

6. Write up on a white board one main idea from 

each lesson (a whiteboard in your room is a 

great tool for secondary students). 

7. Write down for each subject a question you 

could ask about what you learnt that day. 

There will be a fabulous payoff to doing this, more of 

what you learn at school will stick in your head, you 

will have less to learn at test time, and it will make 

your assignments and projects easier when you can 

recall what you have been learning. 

Learn more about the Brain and Advanced Memory 

Techniques at www.studyskillshandbook.com.au. 

Is your son sitting down each day or once a week to 

review his work? This simple process may assist his 

exam performance.

Social Justice: Red Shield Appeal supported 

I spoke to a parent of a year 11 student last week 

and she was surprised to hear that our students 

are involved in at least six outreach experiences 

every week. 

Over the past couple of weeks we have had year 

7-10 students train to be buddies to disadvantaged 

kids in a reading program. We had twenty students 

take part in the Salvos Red Shield Appeal in 

locations all over Sydney. 

Every week, students attend the Matt Talbot Kiosk, 

bowl with the disabled, help out at Waterford 

Preschool and play Bingo with the elderly at 

Charingfield. 

Over 100 boys have offered to donate blood this 

year which is a new record. 

This week Night Patrol will go out on Friday night 

and year 11 students will attend a Social Justice 

Day at Christian Brother’s School Lewisham. Next 

week, 15 boys will spend the evening at a Street 

Retreat in Kings Cross. They will get the chance 

to hear first hand what it is like to be homeless 

on the streets of Sydney. Our students and staff 

should feel very proud of the huge contribtion they 

are making to their community.

Sports Master’s Report 

Last weekend saw a big round of sport against 

some well-drilled Barker sides. Our 1st XI 

Football were gallant and very unlucky in their 

2-2 draw. Our 1st XV went down to a big Barker 

side that were simply more hungry for the victory 

on the day, however, we did have some other 

great results including winning the 16A’s; 15A’s; 

14A’s and 13A’s rugby. The 15A’s have gone 

from strength to strength but come up against a 

determined St Aloysius side this week and will 

need to keep improving. All teams need to be on 

their game this coming week and will need to train 

and play well to secure victory. 

A reminder that CAS Codes of Conduct apply to 

both participants and spectators at our games. 

Any student involved in on-field behaviour that 

does not fulfill CAS and College expectations will 

face either a sports tribunal or will be dealt with 

appropriately. 

I would like to emphasise that parents and 

spectators should not approach opposition or 

Waverley College coaches directly on a Saturday. 

If you have a complaint or a concern then we 

certainly encourage all to voice these but in the 

correct manner and through the school rather than 

at a venue. 

Alcohol is banned at all school grounds and those 

caught drinking alcohol will be removed from the 

venue. 

Let’s hope that this weekends’ sport is conducted 

in a manner that brings credit to the school. 

“Go the Waves!”

Cross Country: Sydney Park - the Year’s 

toughest course 

Cranbook and St. Aloysius hosted this Meet on 

a freezing morning at Sydney Park; arguably the 

toughest course for the year. 

177 runners contested the U/14 race with Connor 

McGrath best performed for Waverley in 4th place 

overall (1st CAS U/13), followed by Nick Blakey in 

25th place (1st CAS U/12), hotly pursued by Luca 

Reiners in 26th place (6th CAS U/13), with Angus 

Baird coming in 48th place (3rd CAS U/12), and 

Latham James (15th CAS U/14). The team did 

great; coming 5th overall (2nd CAS team behind 

Barker). Well done to all the boys. 

The U/16 race had 163 runners and Oscar 

Osbourne ran a fine race to finish 7th overall (2nd 

CAS U/16), followed by Jake Bartholomaeus in 

13th place (3rd CAS U/15); another great effort. 

These boys were followed by Jake Foster, Josh 

Causer, Leandro Moore and Michael Chan. 

Congratulations to all the boys who ran to their best 

ability on a hard course. 

Unfortunately captain Jethro James was unable to 

run in the Open race, but was there to support the 

team. Next week’s Meet is at St. Ignatius College, 

Lane Cove. It is the CAS selection race for the CIS 

Championships.

The Rugby Report: Good results against Barker 

CAS round 4 

After a few Saturdays of lovely Autumn weather, 

last week saw the first of the big westerly winds 

that can make Queens Park a difficult place 

to play rugby. Barker College were the visitors 

– undefeated in 1sts and traditionally strong 

throughout all age groups. A tough day of rugby 

beckoned. 

16Bs showed glimpses of good play but the 

reluctance to tackle was again in evidence at 

crucial stages and a good Barker side took the 

honours. The Waverley boys proved their ability 

when they beat Knox away from home three weeks 

ago and need to believe that they have the ability 

to play like that again. 

The As were up for the challenge and worked 

hard against the breeze in the first half to be 5-all 

at the break. The boys had trouble playing the 

ball in Barker’s end in the second half but kept 

persisting and were rewarded at the death with 

a controversial try to front-rower Ben Gan, to 

steal the win. The C’s had their issues but battled 

gamely and the D’s started well but faded late in 

the game. 

The 13s showed their depth with solid 

performances in each grade. The A’s produced 

excellent passages but lapses in concentration and 

ill-discipline at the breakdown saw Barker come 

storming back to get level with 5 minutes to play. 

A final try to Waverley gained the win – this team 

has plenty of potential but needs to keep focused 

for the whole game. The B’s , D’s and E’s won hard 

fought matches but the C’s and F’s were unlucky 

to lose. 

The standout 14s had outstanding wins up at 

Barker. Still struggling with injuries, the boys 

showed great character to totally dominate. A’s 

were clinical with a 48-5 victory while the E’s 

racked up 50 points in a fine display. Excellent 

work by all players and coaches! 

The 15s is traditionally a difficult age group 

against this opposition and the D’s, C’s and B’s 

were outclassed. The A’s however, kept up their 

unbeaten run in CAS by winning 33-20. The boys 

are relating well to the coaching of Mr. McBride and 

their commitment to training is reaping rewards. 

The Opens promised to be tough as Barker 

had defeated Knox in all games for the first 

time in memory and have real depth. 5th’s 

were disappointing with a number of unsavoury 

incidents spoiling the game. 4ths, however, 

gained a stirring victory 26-12. 3rds went down 

and 2nds gained their second victory by downing 

their previously unbeaten opposition 12-7. 

The 1sts knew they were in for a tough day trying 

to emulate the feat of the 2007 side who gained a 

famous victory at Queens Park on the way to an 

undefeated CAS season. 

Our guest speaker on Saturday was Captain of 

that particular side, Tom Wallace, who spoke of 

the reverence he holds for the ‘Double V’ and of 

fond memories at QP. Our boys, however, were 

not able to respond to the challenge set down by 

the visitors who used their size and speed to great 

advantage. Barker rolled two lineouts from 25m to 

score two converted tries running with the breeze 

to lead 14-0 at halftime. Waverley were not able to 

put a dent in the Barker defensive line who played 

with great intensity and purpose. Barker crossed 

the line early in the second half and the game 

seemed over. To Waverley’s credit, they kept 

trying to find holes in the defence and a converted 

try with 15 minutes to go gave hope to the home 

supporters. Unfortunately, Barker’s defence held 

strong at the Waves went down 21-7. Outplayed 

on the day but unbowed – Waverley still believe 

the CAS title is up for grabs as all sides are 

capable of winning on any given Saturday. 

This week we are away at St. Aloysius which 

promises to be yet another weekend of tough, 

uncompromising rugby. Good luck to all teams. 

Thanks again to the Rugby Supporters Club who 

work wonders on a Saturday at Queens Park. As 

usual for ‘away’ games we need volunteers from 

the 14’s and 15’s parents to assist. If you can 

spare some time, it would be gratefully accepted.
