Watson Road State School is situated in Acacia Ridge, Brisbane. Our school is extremely multi-cultural with approximately 160 students drawn from over thirty nationalities. An extremely high proportion of our families (approximately 70% - 80%) are from LOTE backgrounds. The multi-cultural aspect of the school ensures a rich culture of diversity. Our motto'Seek to Learn' not only applies to academia, but also the need to 'seek to learn' about others, their backgrounds, their cultures and their place in our community. Our Positive Rewards program is based around three simple rules-be a leader, be a learner and be safe. This program is the backbone within the school upon which all other programs have been developed and implemented. Our school has some unique challenges both socially and academically, however the dedicated staff are continually challenging themselves and the students to improve outcomes in all areas. At Watson Road we recognise the need to think outside of the square in order to ensure our students have the best opportunities to achieve to the best of their ability both socially and academically.
