Set among picturesque landscaped grounds and natural bushland, only minutes from Surfers Paradise, Ashmore State School has been providing quality educational programs since 1978. We boast an award winning music program, a student laptop program, a choice of languages, comprehensive after school extra curricular activities and an emphasis on excellence and high expectations in all aspects of schooling. We will be delivering the Australian Curriculum from 2011 with its heavy emphasis on Mathematics, English, Science and History. Our facilities include a picturesque oval, large multi purpose courts, a school hall, music block, computer room, science lab and a new information and research centre. Our students are given diverse opportunities to engage in programs which facilitate their achievement in literacy, numeracy and citizenship as preparation for living in a complex, multicultural, networked society. We provide a balanced curriculum program throughout the school with high expectations of student achievement, engaged learning time and structured teaching focused on student needs. Classroom teaching programs are balanced and innovative but never lose sight of the foundations, English and mathematics. We actively involve our school community as partners in the learning process of our students. Our dedicated staff are regularly engaged in professional learning opportunities and are passionate about providing the best education possible for our students.
