World Environment Day<br />
World Environment Day 2010 was celebrated on<br />
Saturday June 5. I invite you to visit the website which<br />
provides comprehensive information, images and<br />
initiatives.<br />
http://www.unep.org/wed/2010/english/<br />
I am very proud of the steps taken by the <strong>Waverley</strong><br />
community to move this issue forward. Of particular<br />
note is the formation of our Junior School Environment<br />
Group (under the leadership of Mr Kendall Robinson).<br />
This group has been extremely pro-active in keeping<br />
envirnmental issues on the agenda at <strong>Waverley</strong>. They<br />
have set up a site on ewave, produced a term program of<br />
environmental actions, consulted with external agencies<br />
and celebrated all this and more on World Environment<br />
Day! (see photo below of Junior School and Pre-School<br />
students in our new Covered Outdoor Learning Area)<br />
The major religions of the world have an ongoing<br />
commitment to the natural world. The sacred writings<br />
of Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam<br />
and others have specific teachings on the care of the<br />
environment. In fact, there is plenty of agreement on<br />
how we should act.<br />
The United Nations Environment Program has issued a<br />
publication titled: Earth and Faith: A Book of Reflection for<br />
Action. It offers a list of agreed environmental statements<br />
from the major world religions. These include:<br />
* The natural world has value in itself and does not exist solely to serve human needs.<br />
* <strong>No</strong>n-human living beings are morally significant in the eyes of God and in the universe; they have<br />
their own relationship to God and the universe.<br />
* Human life depends on the natural world and this should be acknowledged, appreciated and<br />
celebrated.<br />
* The well-being of human beings and non-human beings are inseparably connected. Therefore,<br />
justice and compassion should apply to both.<br />
* There are legitimate and non-legitimate uses of nature<br />
* Greed and destructiveness should be condemned. Restraint and protection should be praised.<br />
* Human beings are obliged to be aware and responsible in living in harmony with the natural world<br />
and should follow the specific practices taught by their religious traditions.<br />
It is a great sign of hope that such agreement exists. It remains our<br />
challenge to apply these truths to our own situations.<br />
Congratulations<br />
I commend our Cadets (winners of<br />
CAS Drill Event!), Theatre Sports<br />
Teams (now Grand Finalists!), Junior<br />
School Cantores (achieved a place<br />
in McDonald’s Performing Arts<br />
Challenge!), Musicians (great Music<br />
Camp!) for their commitment and<br />
successes in recent weeks.<br />
Mr Ray Paxton<br />
Last Friday the Junior School and the children from the Pre-school<br />
celebrated World Environment Day. Under the guidance of Mr Robinson<br />
the boys at the Junior School are trying very hard to make a positive<br />
impact on the environment. The recycling drive is in full swing and the<br />
boys are working hard at ensuring their carbon footprint is reduced.<br />
Very exciting news. Hugh France from 5 Gold has made it into<br />
the final 20 artworks (out of some 520) for the <strong>Waverley</strong> Council<br />
Truck Art Competition and is invited to the announcement of the<br />
7 winners. Well done Hugh and all the best in the final selection.<br />
We wish James Mahony-Brack all the best as he represents CIS at<br />
the PSSA Football Championships in <strong>No</strong>wra this week. <strong>No</strong>t only is<br />
James competing for CIS, the tournament acts as a selection trial<br />
for the State team which is picked at the end of the tournament.<br />
To assist the Senior School Cricket Tour a BBQ is being held on<br />
Friday June 18. Boys will be able to buy a sausage on a roll and<br />
a drink for $4. An order form will be sent home during the week.<br />
Australian Government assistance for National Capital Excursion<br />
Students from the Junior School recently undertook an<br />
educational tour of the national capital. While on this tour they<br />
participated in a variety of educational programmes focused<br />
on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy.<br />
The Australian Government recognises the importance of all<br />
young Australians being able to visit their National Capital as<br />
part of their civics and citizenship education. To assist you in<br />
meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is<br />
contributing funding under the Parliament and Civics and Education<br />
Rebate (PACER) programme toward the travel expenses incurred.<br />
Activities undertaken as part of the educational tour included<br />
the tour of Parliament House, visit to the War Memorial and a<br />
session at the Electoral Education Centre. We would like to thank<br />
the Australian Government for their support of this program.<br />
We hope that the excursion was a rewarding experience for all students.<br />
The following boys have received awards for the last cycle – well done gentlemen<br />

Study Skills Tip – Computer Skills (provided by Pure Salter<br />
Enhanced Learning Educational Services)<br />
<strong>No</strong>w that computers play such a large role in our lives, it is worth thinking<br />
now and then about your computer skills. This month, one of the new<br />
units on online Studies Skills Handbook looks at Basic Computer Skills<br />
– you’ll find it in the For Students tab. Some of the areas covered are<br />
firstly physical care for your computer, there are all sorts of hazards<br />
from pets to dust that can cause problems for your computer. The unit<br />
also suggests ways to set up your files and folders for school, nothing<br />
worse than trying to find a file when they are all named science1,<br />
science2 etc. And don’t forget the importance of regular back-ups and<br />
system checks to ensure your files are protected and your computer<br />
runs smoothly. When did you last do a back-up of your files and where<br />
do you keep this back-up? Lastly, if you are a notebook or laptop user,<br />
you’ll definitely want to check out the section on maximizing battery life.<br />
The Study Skills Handbook <strong>Online</strong> is access via the <strong>College</strong> website<br />

Another wet weekend, however, a few fixtures did go ahead. Both<br />
the 1st XI Football and 1st XV Rugby sides played over at Trinity<br />
as well as all A’s Football sides, <strong>Vol</strong>leyball, and some Tennis. The<br />
15C Rugby side also ventured out to ‘Joeys’ to play a difficult fixture.<br />
Well done to Mr McBride and his side for representing the <strong>College</strong><br />
well under difficult circumstances, and thank you to the players and<br />
parents who attended. Though there is no sport for <strong>Waverley</strong> this<br />
Saturday, we have many boys in both Football and Rugby trialing<br />
for representative teams and we wish all people involved the best of<br />
luck and know that you are putting your best on the paddock every<br />
time.<br />
I must also make mention of the 9A and 9B Tennis sides that played<br />
to a very high standard against a much more fancied opposition.<br />
It was disappointing to hear though that there were a couple of<br />
noticeable absences on Saturday for a couple of teams. Please<br />
always make sure you check the wet weather line and are clear on<br />
any cancellations.<br />
I also need to reinforce the point that all supporters need to remain<br />
off the field of play at all times, regardless of what is happening on<br />
the pitch. Running onto the field of play, despite good intentions,<br />
can easily flare up a situation and should never happen. It is also<br />
important that we give all officials the respect that they deserve in<br />
doing an often thankless and difficult job. Without these officials<br />
there would be no games!<br />
Well done to the 1st XI who played a great brand of Football on<br />
Saturday and were desperately unlucky not to win. The 1st XV also<br />
had a hard fought victory but reflected a lack of training due to the<br />
weather. The 1st XV are playing a make up fixture against Barker<br />
next Tuesday at 2.45pm at Queens Park. If you are available to<br />
come down and support, please come in your <strong>Waverley</strong> colours!<br />
Training sessions are on as normal this week, weather permitting,<br />
and we need to prepare well due to the next fixture against Knox<br />
on June 19. Can I also remind students and parents, that the house<br />
Athletics Carnival is rapidly approaching on June 23 at ES Marks.<br />

The 6th Round of the CAS season saw <strong>Waverley</strong> once again come<br />
up against long time rival Trinity. This has been the first fixture that<br />
has been played out in a few weeks due to weather.<br />
The first pairing of Ryan Azzopardi and Oscar Osborne started<br />
strongly in their doubles but were outplayed going down 7-5 6-0.<br />
Ryan Azzopardi had a close fought singles, however letting his<br />
opponent get the better of him with a 6-4 loss. Oscar started off well<br />
but was eventually taken down 6-4 in a close encounter.<br />
The second pairing of Anthony O’Rourke and Timur Nami saw them<br />
have a good start taking the first set but lacked the intensity needed<br />
for the second set with the score ending up at 6-4 4-6. Anthony<br />
played a very smart game of singles pulling off some terrific shots,<br />
however going down 6-3 in a brave effort. Timur had a slow start in<br />
his singles and was unable to regain any confidence unfortunately<br />
going down 6-0.<br />
In the seconds the first pairing of Tom Wakim and Chris Polous saw<br />
them have a tough time with their opponents in a 6-3 6-1 loss. With<br />
a solid consistent effort in his singles, Tom just came up short going<br />
down 6-3. Chris played a good singles but this time lacked the<br />
consistency he was looking for, going down 6-1.<br />
The second pair saw Mikhail Tkatchenko come back from a long<br />
injury playing doubles with Harry James. They lost the match 6-3<br />
6-1 but played well in the conditions. Mikhail’s first game of the<br />
season saw a bit of rust in his game going down 6-1. Harry had the<br />
same problem coming back from sickness and going down 6-1.<br />

Holiday Camps - Years 4 ~ 8 (ages 9 - 14)<br />
<strong>Waverley</strong> <strong>College</strong> is offering a holiday camp to boys<br />
and girls (Years 4 to 8) for the week of Monday 28th<br />
June to Friday 3rd July.<br />
For further details see <strong>College</strong> website or ring John<br />
Kara, Commercial Manager, on 9369 0764<br />
Many of our students would not have had the opportunity to attend<br />
training over the last two weeks due to wet fields and incessant rain.<br />
Considering the physical nature of the game, it is important that the<br />
players maintain some sort of exercise routine, despite the weather<br />
conditions. It is a known fact that a considerable degree of fitness is<br />
lost over a two week period if little exercise and training is sustained.<br />
Rugby players should try to include at least thirty minutes of exercise<br />
per day in order to prevent loss of fitness.<br />
Congratulations to the First Fifteen for a closely contested win on<br />
Saturday and to the six CAS representatives selected from <strong>Waverley</strong><br />
to compete against the GPS and CHS teams:<br />

After a mid-week Cup match that <strong>Waverley</strong> won on penalties, the<br />
First XI looked to take this confidence to Trinity.<br />
The travelling <strong>Waverley</strong> team started the first half well, with some<br />
strong defending from Centre Back Michael Millett keeping the<br />
Trinity attack’s chances to a minimum. Goalkeeper Lloyd Wood<br />
also put in another good performance for the season, regularly<br />
coming off of his line to clear the loose through balls and prevent<br />
the Trinity strikers the chance to shoot on goal. The home side<br />
had the first chance of the game, with Trinity Striker and Captain<br />
Christopher Shelston managing to find some space in behind the<br />
<strong>Waverley</strong> back four, yet sending his shot wide of the goal post.<br />
Striker Jordan Kennedy played through Midfielder Fletcher Lowe<br />
for <strong>Waverley</strong>’s first chance of the game, after a great display of<br />
control from both players; however, Lowe’s ensuing shot was<br />
watched wide by the Trinity goalkeeper. <strong>No</strong>t too long before the<br />
end of the half saw the first goal of the match, and it was to be<br />
the home side to score first. Following a corner that ricocheted of<br />
defenders and attackers alike, the ball dropped kindly in the box<br />
for a Trinity player to run onto and strike into the far corner of the<br />
goal for the 1-0 lead. The score line remained 1-0 as the whistle<br />
was blown for half-time.<br />
The Trinity side restarted the second half of this hotly contested<br />
match, and watched as the first chance of the half fell to<br />
<strong>Waverley</strong> Midfielder Anthony Nappa, who fired a great shot that<br />
unfortunately flew agonisingly wide of the top corner. Yet soon<br />
after this, the Trinity side doubled their advantage through Captain<br />
Shelston, who, after played through one-on-one with the keeper,<br />
fired the home side into a 2-0 lead. Yet the advantage was soon<br />
pulled back to just one following a goal for <strong>Waverley</strong>. An unmarked<br />
Jordan Kennedy netted a vital header at the back post, following<br />
a great out swinging free-kick from Midfielder Fletcher Lowe.<br />
As the game continued, the midfield battle intensified with the<br />
<strong>Waverley</strong> side searching for that much needed equaliser, and the<br />
Trinity side looking to hold out their one goal advantage, which<br />
they managed to do, with the full-time score remaining at 2-1 in<br />
Trinity’s favour.<br />
The <strong>Waverley</strong> side will look to immediately bounce back from this<br />
defeat as they play at home to Knox in round 7 of the CAS season<br />
at Queens Park this upcoming Saturday.<br />

<strong>Waverley</strong> Cadets win the CAS Drill Competition for 2010<br />
Last Wednesday members of the cadet unit in the VC Guard<br />
travelled to Steele Army Barracks to compete in the annual CAS Drill<br />
Competition. This is the premier drill competition in Sydney amongst<br />
schools that have cadet units with each school fielding a team of 21<br />
cadets under the command of each Unit’s RSM.<br />
The competition consists of a formal uniform inspection by Army<br />
Warrant Officers followed by a drill sequence that involves static drill<br />
in the formation, then marching in both slow and quick time. This is<br />
an extremely demanding format because the RSM must memorize<br />
a sequence of over 20 orders and the team must carry out all these<br />
drill movements without the assistance of drums or music. Parts of<br />
the drill involve forms at the halt and on the march in both slow and<br />
quick time, turns on the march and breaking from slow march to<br />
quick march and vice versa.<br />
Training for the event was carried out during lunch hours and before<br />
school over a period of three months under the expert guidance of<br />
the Unit 2IC, Major (AAC) Anthony Evans, assisted by the Unit RSM,<br />
W01 Nathan Stone.<br />
As usual this year the standard was very high with only a few points<br />
separating the competing schools. Ultimately <strong>Waverley</strong> prevailed<br />
to win the competition because the team kept strictly to prescribed<br />
drill requirements and executed all the orders with confidence and<br />
precision. The achievement was all the more impressive because<br />
the bulk of the team was made up of Year 9 cadets.<br />
The trophy was presented by the Cadet Brigade Commander,<br />
Lieutenant Colonel (AAC) David Major, who remarked that the<br />
standard of the drill was so high that it surpassed some drill<br />
performed by regular Army and Reserve members at the Barracks.<br />
This achievement by the <strong>Waverley</strong> <strong>College</strong> Cadet Unit means that<br />
the Unit is the current holder of both the CAS Drill and CAS Military<br />
Skills trophies.<br />
On Monday, 7th June, 2010, Years 9 and 10 viewed a presentation<br />
on World Youth Day (WYD) Madrid 2011. This will take place in<br />
