Welcome!
Welcome to George Waters School's homepage. George Waters School is a middle years (6-8) school in Winnipeg, Manitoba. View a map showing our location.
George Waters has approximately 325 students and 29 teaching staff members and 11 support staff members. We enjoy the benefits of a small school environment, where teachers know all of the students and students know all of the teachers, yet George Waters Middle School is large enough to offer a variety of academic and co-curricular programs. Teachers work co-operatively in grade level pods to ensure the best opportunities for our students.
George Waters Middle School offers a full range of academic programs to meet the needs of our students. Beyond a rich academic program, GWMS offers an extensive co-curricular program, outdoor education camps that foster teamwork and 'connectedness', active student participation and student leadership opportunities, a house system (GWMS sharks) that promotes team spirit, JAWS time (bi-weekly Team Advisory Program sessions), dedicated resource and Guidance personnel for student support, and active Parent Council, and access to a full service cafeteria and lunch program. Monthly C.A.R.E. (Celebrating and Recognizing Excellence) Assemblies are held to celebrate student successes. George Waters Middle School is known for the following key programs: VEST (Virtual Enterprise Systems Technologies), PDHS (Program for Deaf and Hard of
Hearing Students), Hockey Academy, Arts Education (Art, Band, Choral, Leisure Art, Computer Art, Drama, Film Studies, Robotics, Active Living), Practical Arts (Home Economics, Woodworking, Electronics), and G.A.T.E. (Gifted and Talented Education).
