Welcome to Watsonia Primary School’s website. Please enjoy the celebration of our learning displayed in this site.
Our school has a welcoming family atmosphere where all teachers and students know each other. As Principal I know all the parents at our school and the students who attend. Our parents are active and dynamic contributors to the school’s success.
Our classrooms are spacious and welcoming, with heating and air-conditioning. Each classroom has a range of technology accessed by students including interactive HD screens, wireless laptops and iPads. Programs within the classroom are designed to provide students with many opportunities to use technology to enhance their learning.
The curriculum provided at Watsonia Primary School covers English and Mathematics with an Integrated Curriculum program focusing on Science, Technology, Humanities and Personal Learning. We have specialist teachers for Music, Physical Education, Art and LOTE (Language Other Than English) Italian. There are also student support programs assisting those who require help with literacy and numeracy. Students who excel are also extended and challenged.
Watsonia Primary School offers students extracurricular activities with private instrumental lessons. The LOTE Italian program has a ‘Bella Lingua’ group which provides extension activities and opportunities. The school choir sings at local venues and provides students with another opportunity to display their talents.
We welcome visitors to our school. If you are looking for a school for your child you are invited to make an appointment to have a tour with myself. A personalised tour can provide time to discuss information that is relevant to your situation and see our school in action.
