Thank you for considering Ashwood High School for your child's education in 2024 and beyond. Choosing a school where your child will thrive and find happiness is a pivotal decision for us as parents.
We understand the importance of selecting a quality school, one that excels in teaching and learning, provides a safe and supportive environment, and offers diverse co-curricular programs to nurture your child's interests and talents. Our aim is to create an environment where every student can reach their full potential and be recognised as an individual, both personally and academically.
My journey at Ashwood High School since April 2015 has been marked by transformation and progress. Together, we've achieved significant milestones under my leadership. The establishment of our modern buildings and the introduction of a new academic focus reflect our commitment to excellence. Notably, we've experienced a remarkable increase in enrolment, growing to six to seven times our 2015 figures, nearly reaching capacity. This success has solidified Ashwood High School's reputation as a preferred choice, known for delivering exceptional academic and social outcomes for all students.
In 2022, we were honored to be recognised as one of the top 10 government schools in Victoria and in 2023 as the highest-ranked local entry high school for university pathways. This achievement highlights our dedication to providing quality education and preparing our students for future success.
At Ashwood, we pride ourselves on truly knowing our students. I make it a priority to engage with them during schoolyard interactions, witnessing their growth and development into confident individuals. Our House structure further strengthens our sense of community, fostering cross-age mentoring and leadership opportunities.
Our ACE - Accelerated Curriculum and Enrichment program, now in its ninth year, continues to challenge and inspire high-performing students. This program offers a dynamic and integrated learning experience tailored to meet the needs of motivated learners.
Ashwood High School boasts a rich blend of tradition and innovation. We invite you to visit us for a tour and experience firsthand the vibrant learning environment we offer.
Warm regards,
