Pastoral Care
Starting Times
School begins at 8.45am and concludes at 3.00pm each day. Before-school supervision commences at 8.30am. There is NO Before or After School Care offered at the College.
The Timetable
The Junior School is timetabled into the 8-day cycle (Day A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) of the Senior School. This enables the Junior School to avail itself of specialist teachers in the areas of Languages, Music and Physical Education. For these classes the boys move to specialist areas within the College. This introduces the boys to the culture of the Senior School timetabling system, and helps prepare them for Year 7.
School Uniform
A high standard of uniform is expected at all times. This includes attention to hairstyles. The College School bag and Sports bag are compulsory for all students at Waverley College. The uniform can only be purchased from the College uniform shop (Mrs Brisbys), which is located on the Senior School campus.
Code of Conduct
All students at Waverley College have the right to learn. Sound teaching and learning depends on all co-operating without being disrupted by the misconduct of others, and the expectation that tasks set by teachers are completed and classes attended. Absence without leave from class or the College during 8.45am to 3.00pm is a serious breach of trust.
Good manners and respect are expected from each boy in his relationships with fellow students and teachers.
Students have a right to be proud of the good name of their College.
In travelling to and from school, on excursions, or when representing the College in any way, all boys should be polite and considerate and aware that the College is judged by their conduct.
The College has various prescribed uniform requirements and all are expected to comply with these regulations at all times and be well groomed in their appearance.
Individual students who are chosen to represent the College and accept representative honours in any activity are expected to fulfil that commitment through attending practice sessions and fixtures.
Students have a right to be respected. Their personal property is also to be respected.
All forms of stealing or vandalism are offences against the whole school community. A boy's personal belongings are not to be interfered with at any time by other students. No boy should be in possession of any article that belongs to another or anything that could cause harm to another.
Students have a right to a pleasant and safe place in which to work and play.
All boys must take proper care when using school property. Vandalism of school property is viewed as a serious offence.
All are expected to make every effort to keep their surroundings clean and tidy. The school yard should be a safe place for all and rough or wild games in the yard are not permitted. A hands-off policy applies at all times.
No one is allowed in 'out of bounds' areas unless approved and/or supervised by teachers.
Bullying
Bullying is always considered a serious offence at Waverley College. For example, it is unacceptable for anyone to tamper with or take another's bag, books or possessions for any purpose without the student's permission. It is unacceptable for a boy to demand favours or money or possessions from another under threats. It is unacceptable to have an individual or group frequently 'putting down', mocking or ridiculing another individual or group or for any boy / boys to intimidate others.
Travel Safety
Safety and good behaviour whilst travelling to and from school are of the highest importance. Boys will be informed of these expectations at the beginning of the school year.
