25.01.2022 "Last week, our Junior School students performed ‘The Tree House’ a drama written for Primary students by Australian playwright Matthew Ryan. The performance followed the life of a tree growing inside a house and all the lives it affects along the way. From a young boy dealing with change, adults too busy to enjoy life, a poor family at Christmas and renovators intent on knocking the tree down no one escapes the influence of the tree." - Michelle Rollins, Music and Drama Teacher

24.01.2022 Waverley won the Br Berg-Murphy Shield on Saturday, defeating St Patrick’s by 2 wickets in a final over thriller! Jack Hickey top scored with a fantastic 73 Runs in Waverley’s strong chase of the 174 target, while Eddie Regan was great with the ball in taking 3 wickets. This annual match with St Patrick’s between the two EREA schools commemorates the wonderful contributions to cricket of Christian Brothers Berg from St Patrick’s and Brother Brian Murphy from Waverley.

24.01.2022 These students have led with humility and dignity. As such, they are to be congratulated for their wonderful achievements. Some people come into our lives and leave quickly.

All of our 2020 Year 12 leaders have left indelible footprints on our hearts and the traditions of Waverley College. - Director of Identity & Student Formation, Ms Sue Walsh

12.01.2022 For R U OK Day, our talented students recreated the Foo Fighters song Times Like These.

Graham Leddie
