Dean of Waterford | Mr Damien Cuddihy

Welcome to Term 3 in what always proves to be a most enjoyable term for the Waterford community. 

After two terms the boys are now well and truly a part of the Waterford furniture and have displayed a number of very pleasing academic results throughout the first semester. Our challenge as a learning community is to maintain these standards. This term consists of six teaching weeks followed by exam week and then three weeks of the Immersion program. Due to the time limitations we have a reduced assignment load this term. However, teachers will be moving through the various units of work at a faster rate which presents a different set of challenges for the cohort. We have discussed this at length on assembly this week. 

Next Monday, a seminar from Mrs Lisa Maltman from the Sleep Connection will be presented to the cohort. All Year 10 students are currently completing a “sleep diary” this week to assist Mrs Maltman in her presentation on the importance of sound sleeping patterns. In addition, all Year 10 students are also working on completing their Senior Education and Training Plans. These forms needed to be signed by both the student and parents before being returned by the end of next week. This process will assist the boys in making an informed decision about subject selection for Year 11. 

The Subject Selection evening is being held on Monday 6 August in the Campbell Centre commencing at 6pm.
