Claude Watson School for the Arts

For interested parents of grade 3-7 children:

Each year the Claude Watson School for the Arts auditions students for admission to the school. There are 60 places available in the grade four year. Auditions for possible vacancies in grades 5-8 will also be held. The screening process for students is a series of studio experiences in dance, drama, visual arts and music. Auditions take place at the school, located near Yonge St. and Sheppard Ave. and are conducted by a team of adjudicators, both professional artists and teachers.

The auditions will be conducted on Saturdays during the months of February and March. The school will be holding two information evenings at the Claude Watson School for the Arts, 130 Doris Ave. on Tuesday, October 22, 2013 and Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at 6:30 p.m.

School parking is limited so families should leave sufficient time to find street parking. These meetings are to inform parents of the school's program, to review the application process and to provide parents with an opportunity to ask questions.

This year we have introduced an on-line application process which will be available October 21, 2013. To apply on-line parents are asked to visit www.claudewatson.org under Admissions. The deadline for submission of applications is December 31, 2013. Further information regarding the application and audition process can be obtained by contacting ian.handscomb@tdsb.on.ca or michael.byrne@tdsb.on.ca or by calling the school directly at 416-395-3180.

Happy Monday Fern Falcons!  And Happy Earth Day.  We will have a running club, open to students of all ages, every Friday morning, from 8:30-9:00am, around the track.  Kindergarten students must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children in other grades are welcome to drop in and join us, and then will be dismissed when regular yard duty begins at 9:00am.  This is a club, and not a team, there will be no tryouts, there will be no meet/competition. We will be running for ourselves and promoting movement, the joy of running, and healthy habits.  Feel free to join us. Our first running club date will be Friday, May 3rd.  Cheers,  Mrs. Heller and Madame Miya
