Ms. Watson believes that the right conditions and environments can allow all students can learn with enthusiasm, self-direction and perseverance. She firmly feels that when the emotional and educational needs of students are met, students do amazing things and the entire community thrives. She shares the viewpoint of many - her favourite things about SJK is the people and the innovative approach to teaching and learning employed by SJK staff and faculty!
As a mother of two teenagers, Ms. Watson enjoys spending time with her family, as well as reading, practicing yoga and hiking.
