Sam is an agent for positive change in policy and practice, technological innovation and inclusion, and is a leader in co-design of the school curriculum.

Sam is a respected school leader, and also competes as an elite gymnast. Through her extensive involvement in working towards becoming a Queen’s Scout, Alice has contributed significantly to the school community, especially through her organisation and leadership in a full day hike for the students. Her volunteering and environmental activities with the school have been greatly appreciated.

15.01.2022 Should PE be compulsory throughout schooling? That’s just one topic that our students fiercely debated today. This term, our year 10 & 11 students have been developing their skills in expressing ideas, opinions and forming effective arguments through our debating program.

15.01.2022 Today, students shared & celebrated their CAMP week adventures! During our Challenge And Multiple Perspectives (CAMP) week, year 10 & 11 students explored learning extension opportunities through a passion-project of their choice. Students enjoyed designing and completing their challenge, stretching their perspectives, knowledge, skills, and capabilities.

15.01.2022 Our Class of 2020 have experienced a final year of schooling like no other. While it has been a year that has presented new challenges, you have shown incredible resilience, perseverance and determination. Good luck to all our year 12 students, we’re wishing you all the best!

14.01.2022 Today is R U OK Day and while it’s important to ask that question, it's also important to know that there’s more to say after R U OK? Here are some examples of ...what you can say to someone if the answer is "no, I'm not." What you’re going through isn’t easy. It’s good we can talk about it. Have you been feeling this way for a while? That’s tough. Keep talking, I’m listening. Learn more here: www.ruok.org.au #TheresMoreToSay #RUOKDay

12.01.2022 ASMS students recently competed in their final round of statewide knockout sport in both futsal and basketball competitions. Once again, we saw plenty of enjoyment and great leaps in our team performances, highlighting the talent and improvement of our school sport program this year. Congratulations to all who participated, particularly our Year 12s and captains!

12.01.2022 Students fly high at ASMS! Recently, our Aviation students experienced flight training firsthand, under the supervision of the Murray Bridge Flying School. Students enjoyed the opportunity to practice basic flight skills using a Cessna 172 airplane around the Mannum area.... For some, this was their first time in a small aircraft, and others continued their training as they work towards their CASA recreational pilot license. When licensed, they are able to fly around the Murray Bridge area with up to three passengers.

11.01.2022 In the ASMS Lab - Snail embryos! This week, we’re growing snail embryos, analysing them under a dissecting microscope and seeing how many times they divide. Starting out with only a few cells, we’re pleased to report that they’re growing happily! Watch our video to see one of them moving around with its newly formed foot!

10.01.2022 Activities Day 2021 was a roaring success, thanks to record participation, team bonding and one of the tightest finishes in years! Students participated in a range of individual track events and team sports within their Learning Studies groups including Soccer, Volleyball, Ultimate Frisbee and Pétanque. The Red team came out on top, fittingly on a day of soaring temperatures! Special thank you to all the staff, alumni and student volunteers who were involved in making the d...ay a great experience for all. Red - 882 Gold - 870 Blue - 861 Green - 675

It was our pleasure to welcome over 200 visitors to our school, who enjoyed the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities with our students, staff, Flinders University STEM Academy and STEM Outreach team.

07.01.2022 Don’t be surprised if you hear an ASMS student say, that’s not a valid statement, the evidence is too weak try giving me a more logical and sound series of premises before you make such conclusions! In our Truth & Perception course, Year 10/11 students are busy learning about geometric theorems in their Proofs and Conjectures Unit: Is it True? This image depicts a light ray following the path of an angle subtended by an arc of a circle. ... Photo by Bailly Shaw

05.01.2022 Imagine you’re on a plank, 80 stories high. Knees shaky, palms sweaty In Communication Systems, our students are learning about the hormone adrenaline by ‘walking the plank’, a virtual reality experience designed to invoke strong emotions to collect data on heart rate, electrocardial impulses and blood pressure.

04.01.2022 Celebrate in a safe and positive way! Further information for our Class of 2020, including the current SA directions and safe party tips can be found on our school portal.

03.01.2022 The Premier today announced that schools and preschools will reopen to all students on Monday 23 November. As a result ASMS will be open and operating as normal. We will not be offering an alternative home-based learning program. As per our end of year program ASMS students who are aged 17 or over or who have returned an Application for Exemption from School form are not required to attend school from Wednesday 25th Nov. We emailed the Application for Exemption from School ...form earlier this term and have attached to this post for your use if required. See the notice on the portal for more information. As the Chief Public Health Officer said, just because the hard lockdown is being lifted does not mean that the risks associated with COVID-19 have passed. As a result we will minimise the number of people coming and going from our school. Thank you for your messages of support, they have meant a lot to our staff during these challenging times. Take very good care of yourself and others and stay safe, Warm regards Jayne Heath

01.01.2022 Congratulations Nikki Asikas (BArtsSc ’19 & Master of Teaching student) who has won the Outstanding Graduate award at the annual Teachers Day Awards this year Nikki, a Flinders University student, has joined us this year as a pre-service teacher, and has made many valuable contributions to our school. Her work in our Adventure Space program and her curriculum development and teaching in the stage 2 Biology and Psychology classes have been outstanding. Nikki says For me, the most rewarding part about teaching is the adrenaline that occurs when I see my students experience a light bulb moment. In that moment, I know that the tools I have been able to provide them with will help them shape their learning experience."
