Ashfield Boys High School

Ashfield Boys High School aims to inspire every boy to strive for personal excellence and reach his full potential as a man. Every student is viewed as an individual and school structures support and develop talent in a wide variety of fields. Teaching, learning and wellbeing programs are based on current research and are tailored to the specific learning needs of boys. Students are supported to become independent learners who integrate knowledge from different areas and apply this to real life situations. The aim of this approach is to support the academic, social and ethical development of young men so that they have the skills to thrive in the 21st century. The changing needs of adolescent male learners inform structures and programs in the school. Years 7 and 8 are taught in learning teams and teachers meet weekly to plan for the personal success of boys in their team. This facilitates the seamless transition from primary school and develops a high degree of professional understanding by teachers regarding the gifts and needs of every student. In the middle school, students are encouraged to work collaboratively and use their learning to solve problems. The senior school is structured around individual planning and mentoring, allowing every young man to pursue his personal pathway to success in the HSC and beyond. The school also provides for both the academic, language and wellbeing needs of international students. Students have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of quality co-curricular programs such as band, music, debating, drama, Duke of Edinburgh and leadership development. Both competitive and recreational sports are a strong feature of Ashfield Boys High School. The school enjoys strong partnerships with its community, local schools and youth services. Our continued success is based on collaborative leadership and a caring, supportive and experienced staff. Student accomplishment in the HSC is particularly strong and students achieve highly significant levels of academic growth from Year 7 to Year 12.

Maintenance

To ensure the safety, reliability and longevity of our schools, every school across NSW receives maintenance. The Department undertakes preventative and routine maintenance every year, and repairs as needed. The Department also reviews the planned maintenance program for each school every year and reviews those items that are predicted to require work to help prolong the life of the school buildings and facilities.

Demountables

Demountables have been part of the NSW education system for many decades and will continue to be used across the state. Demountable classrooms are modern, air-conditioned rooms that provide students and teaching staff with excellent quality facilities. The learning spaces have the same range of technology that is available in permanent spaces. We review school accommodation needs each year, looking at changing enrolment patterns and other factors to prepare for the upcoming school year. This helps to identify schools that need new demountables and schools where they can removed. Most demountable movement takes place between October and February and we report our annual demountable statistics each April. Additional demountable installations can occur outside this window to support capital works and maintenance projects in schools or emergency responses to natural disasters.

We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
