Our History

Waverley College's rich history began in 1903, when the Christian Brothers welcomed 15 students and three Brothers to their new school. From these humble beginnings, the College grew rapidly, driven by a passion for education and a commitment to the community.

As the world around them changed, Waverley College adapted and evolved. During World War I and II, the College played its part in the war effort, with many students and staff serving overseas. In the post-war period, the College underwent a period of significant expansion, introducing new subjects, facilities, and extracurricular activities that helped shape the minds and characters of its students.

The 1960s and 1970s brought further change, as the College welcomed lay teachers and expanded its curriculum to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world. In 1983, Waverley College became a member of the Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) network, a community of Catholic schools established by the Christian Brothers.

Today, Waverley College remains true to its founding values, offering a comprehensive education that nurtures the intellectual, spiritual, and personal growth of its students. With a strong focus on academic excellence, community service, and spiritual development, Waverley College continues to inspire young men to become active, compassionate, and engaged members of society.
