It has been my pleasure to be a student of Mount Waverley Secondary College. Life at MWSC has been full of variety and interest. All of my teachers were rich in knowledge, of good character and they taught us very earnestly. The comprehensive building layout and science facilities were perfect and a great place to study. We all worked very happily together.
