Charter

Waterloo School is a self-reviewing school delivering high quality education to its students, involving them in many opportunities to develop themselves in music, sport and cultural groups.

We are developing a future focused, personalised approach in the classroom allowing students to take control of their own learning. Each student is unique and learns in different ways.

We are not just developing students to be achieving, but also teaching higher level thinking skills and developing key competencies using technology to prepare students for the 21st century.
