Junior School
Life at the Junior School
The Junior School at Waverley College is a vibrant community where boys in Years 5 and 6 come to learn, grow, and thrive. Our day-to-day life is structured to ensure a balance of academic rigor, creativity, and fun, fostering genuine friendships and a sense of belonging and connection.
Our curriculum encompasses core subjects like Religious Education, English, Mathematics, Humanities, and Science, complemented by specialist subjects in areas such as PDHPE, Music, Visual Arts, and STEM. Our teachers seamlessly integrate technology and innovative teaching practices to engage boys in meaningful learning experiences.
Holistic education
From their first year in the Junior School, our students are supported by a dedicated team of teachers, support staff, and Year 10 Big Brothers who provide mentorship and guidance. This buddy system fosters strong relationships between our Junior School students and their Senior role models, promoting a sense of connection and community.
As our students progress through the Junior School, they participate in a nurturing transition program that prepares them for a seamless move to the Senior School. This program includes visits to the Senior School, meetings with teachers and mentors, and engaging activities that help students become familiar with the new environment, ensuring a confident and successful transition.
