Library

Our Library has an excellent range of books suitable for children of all ages. We encourage children to use this facility. Each child from Prep to Year 6 has a timetabled session in the Library and borrowing takes place during this session or at lunchtime.

We need your cooperation in encouraging your child to read regularly and to take care of the books.

Performing Arts

Music is an aspect of our Performing Arts Program and currently our Music teacher is Mr Steve Moore.

The Music Program for Preps to Year 6 at Watsonia North Primary School is a developmental program incorporating the Kodaly Philosophy.

Visual Arts

Our Art program provides an opportunity for creative expression, control of a range of media and development of skills. The art room is well equipped, giving children the opportunity to develop their creative talents. Ms Clare Meehan is our Visual Arts Specialists.

Physical Education

The emphasis of the Physical Education and Sports Program is the development of skills, coordination, cooperation, enjoyment and healthy, positive attitudes to physical activity which will prepare children for future recreational pursuits.

The Physical Education Teacher is responsible for covering the areas of major and minor games, athletics, gymnastics, ball handling and dance. Mr Trent O’Sullivan is our Sport/Physical Education Specialist.

In most classrooms there are children who experience difficulty learning mathematics. The Extending Mathematical Understanding (EMU) Program was developed to assist these students in Years 1 and 2.

Mrs Julie Austin, Mrs Katrine Smith, Mrs Jenny Storer and Mrs Melissa Greatrex are the EMU Specialists.
