Canberra High School
Canberra High School (years 7 to 10) opened in 1969 and has a fine academic, cultural and sporting reputation.
The school aims to provide a curriculum that draws upon traditional academic knowledge and also takes account of advancing technology, and seeks to provide subjects that are relevant.
The school has a rich curriculum. It recognises the diversity of abilities, aptitudes and interests, and seeks to provide an environment that encourages the full development of individual abilities.
ACE advisers maintain regular contact with the school and any problems that arise will be discussed with the houseparents, coaches and the athlete’s parents.
Students are required to wear the Canberra High School uniform (colour code) or their full AIS tracksuit. The athlete is responsible for providing his/her uniform. A clothing pool is available at the school.
Here are some general points about Canberra High School.
- Athletes must attend school every day.
- A written report on each athlete’s work is issued at the end of each semester and sent directly to parents. For more information, see the Canberra High School handbook or contact the ACE adviser.
- A five-day static timetable has been introduced to suit the gymnastic training schedule. Athletes follow a designated program of a minimum of four subjects: English, mathematics, science and social science.
- For residential athletes, ACE Advisers inform the school of absences based on advice received from the Houseparent or Coach. ACE advisers monitor academic progress, receive parent-teacher reports and liaise regularly with teachers at the school.
- Parents of non-residential athletes are responsible for liaising with the school on the educational progress of their child, and also for advising the school of all absences that are not related to sporting commitments.
