Teacher Creative Arts

Asquith Girls High School is committed to developing independent and responsible learners and leaders, able to work cooperatively as future citizens. The school prides itself on its holistic approach to education and enjoys a high standing in its community. There are many opportunities for students to achieve personal excellence in the areas of academic studies, sports, leadership, performing and creative arts, citizenship, and co-curricular activities. The effective implementation of PERMA, Restorative Justice and Mediation practices, and the Asquith Individualised Mentoring Coach initiative continue to be our major priorities in our future-focused teaching and learning culture for every student to achieve and thrive. The excellent academic and extra-curricular achievements of our 600 students, not only reflect the hard work but also the dedication of our caring and professional staff. Our school community is highly engaged and contributes to whole school decisions and endorses the school's Strategic Directions. In 2026 the school will transition to a co-educational setting starting with years 7, 9 and 11.
