The School Day

Our school day follows a clear and consistent timetable, with set times for learning sessions, activities, and lunch. Understanding the bell times helps students stay organised and make the most of every part of the day.

It's important for students to arrive on time each day. If your child is running late, please contact our front office.

Our bell times

Most days follow a structured plan featuring 5 periods, recess and lunch. Each day is slightly different, so students are encouraged to check their timetable each day and ensure they have the correct materials for their lessons.

Canteen

Our canteen ordering system is through Flexischools, or through on-site purchase during recess and lunch. Cash or EFTPOS (with a physical card) are accepted.

Assessments

At Asquith High School, learning is at the heart of everything we do. Our school community works together to create a safe, supportive and challenging environment where every student is known, valued and encouraged to achieve their personal best.

Assessment Handbooks outline how assessments works at our school and will help students understand expectations, manage their time and stay organised throughout the year. Assessments are not only about grades; they are an opportunity for students to demonstrate what they know, how they think and how they apply their learning. Through a range of formal and informal tasks, students can reflect on their progress, build important skills and identify their next steps.

Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning by planning ahead, responding to feedback and develop habits that support success, including resilience, organisation, curiosity and persistence.

Student Opportunities

There are a wide variety of activities and opportunities offered to Asquith High School students. These co-curricular activities help our students to excel in more than just the academic landscape. From drama performances and musical endeavours to engineering and cyber security, there are opportunities for every student to participate and explore their interests.
