Established in 1978 on 6 hectares of bushland, Ashmore State School provides a physical and social setting which is safe, well organised and caring. In 2008 Ashmore celebrated 30 years of productive partnership with its families and the delivery of quality State education to the community. As principal, I am extremely proud of the high standard that Ashmore continues to espouse in the pursuit of academic, cultural, social and sporting excellence. The committed Ashmore staff believes in building a positive ethos, which focuses on the values of respect, acceptance, inclusion and a sense of belonging. Ashmore has built a strong sense of community around the concept of QUALITY – quality relationships enhance quality teaching and learning in a quality environment.

Diverse academic, sporting and cultural opportunities such as challenge days with local high schools, business enterprise studies, chess tuition, public speaking, French, peer mediation, Auskick, robotics and micro processors project, C.R.E.S.T science awards demonstrate the smorgasbord of programs available to students, as well as a balanced and connected curriculum in the Key Learning Areas.

Our award-winning choral and instrumental music programs always evoke a great sense of pride and creative challenge.

With an active P&C Association and student forum, all stakeholders are encouraged to have a voice in the strategic direction of the school, whether it is volunteering in classrooms, participation in the early literacy intervention programs or as year level parent reps.

We invite you to come and be a part of the Ashmore experience where we are dedicated to building a healthy vibrant community which we all own and love.
