Languages Department
The Watershed Languages department offers six subjects: English,
Literature (English), French, Literature (French), General Paper
and Shona. All the six subjects are examinable. English is done
by all students in forms one to four. French and Shona are
studied by all students in forms one and two. At form three
students can study French and Shona as options. After the IGCSE
course, students can choose to do English and/or French at a
level. It is a requirement that all advanced level students do
General Paper. Students at this level have found this subject
useful because it covers a generality of topics. The General
Paper results have continued to improve; we have registered more
As and Bs thanks to our dedicated staff.
The Languages Department boasts of ten members of qualified staff.
The department has enjoyed stability over the years because very few
of our members have left. Resultantly, the department has managed to
maintain a culture of good results and discipline. Those who have went
left behind a legacy of hard work. Our academic results have been
pleasing and we aspire to do better in this regard. Our dream is to
continue to enlarge our a level classes and to consistently post
impressive results. As staff, we have put emphasis on excellence-
providing world class service to our students. We have learnt from our
mistakes and with each new term comes new ideas. We have been blessed
with creative and enthusiastic staff who work as a team.
The department is in charge of public speaking, debate and drama.
We realize that art is essential and that by teaching it to our
students we are teaching creativity. We are there to groom thinkers. A
good number of our students have competed and won in competitions in
different areas. Our role as teachers is to place Watershed on the
Zimbabwe map and this is what continues to drive us. We can, with
confidence and pride, assure every parent out there that if you give
us your child we will do an excellent job. Our results are there as
solid testimony. We will live up to our promises and dreams.
