History

Watershed College was formed in 1987 when farmers living in the area in Marondera decided to create a school for their children. The schools around at the time - Peterhouse Group of Schools - were too selective for the farmers and for this reason they decided to form their own institute. Farms were donated to this cause and so began Watershed College.
