AN ACTIVE PARTNERSHIP

Learning is a journey for all ages and open communication between colleagues is promoted as a means of sharing the best in teaching ideas. Beyond the classroom, the informal curriculum also provides an opportunity to draw on the combined experience and expertise of our staff. Teachers and support staff alike, the Watson's team is an active partnership.

This principle of partnership lies at the very heart of our community. Our relationship with parents has a special significance given our shared commitment to the development of young people. Parents are encouraged to play a key role, from discussing academic and pastoral issues with teachers and the Guidance team, to supporting extra-curricular activities.Parent groups provide valuable representation through liaison committees and our thriving Parents' Association organises a number of popular social events throughout the year.

We place great importance on involving the whole family in school life. Our Galleon Club promotes health and fitness, opening our swimming pool and other sports facilities to all family members outside school hours.

We consider it enriching that our partnership with parents and the rest of the Watson's community goes beyond the formal aspects of school, and extends into social, sporting and other extra-curricular activities. Indeed it is this shared involvement in school life beyond the classroom that characterises what we have come to know as the Watson's family.
