Waverley College is committed to reconciliation through justice, equity, equality, and healing by acknowledging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ ways of knowing and being. Through the lenses of Respect, Relationships and Opportunities, Waverley College strives to support all students and staff members to build a culturally safe environment and to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our practice.
Waverley College is committed to being a community where First Nations Peoples’ cultures are acknowledged and respected. We commit to producing and preparing graduates to lead in a range of professions continually following the Edmund Rice Tradition of Education while remembering our past and walking alongside First Nations peoples for reconciliation and justice.
Founded on values espoused in the Gospel, Waverley College seeks to transform the hearts and minds of young Australians through education, and to build a more just and inclusive local and global community, through presence, compassion, and liberation. The College offers a Liberating Education, based on a Gospel Spirituality, within an Inclusive Community committed to Justice and Solidarity.
