About Our School
Learning, Growing and Leading Together
Ashern Central School is a grade 5 to 12 school. Our grade 5-8 students live in the town of Ashern and surrounding area. Our high school students come from many nearby communities.
At ACS, we try to offer our students many different experiences and opportunities. Students from grades 5-12 can explore the regular school subjects as well as the Visual Arts, Drama, Music, computer-based courses, power mechanics, woodworking and many other opportunities.
We are a tight knit group of learners who gather each month at assemblies to celebrate the success of our students. We value leadership and working to our highest potential.
Our learning support
and guidance programs ensure that all of our students receive the most suitable
programming available, and follow the best path to graduation and their own
personal career and life choices. We are proud of our school's multicultural
nature, and the respect and appreciation developed by working, learning, and
growing together. We may come from different homes and backgrounds, and have
different strengths and talents, but we are all members of the Ashern Central
School community.
With our students and their families as full partners, we will work to help
develop:
? *Strong literacy and numeracy skills that will support students in their future endeavors.
? *Future leaders with a strong basis in the implementation of the 7 Habits for Success in their daily lives.
School Highlights |

Our Middle Years was again a vibrant place. In October, students were inspired during their trip to WE Day, and from that event, two students raised money for children in developing countries through the sale of bracelets. Throughout the year, students were able to discover the exciting side of science through working with Mr. Waldner. During this time, students performed experiments and investigations to enrich their science learning. An exciting new opportunity for our grade 5 to 8’s this year was the addition of curling to our Phys. Ed program. Students traveled to Moosehorn to learn the fundamentals of this sport. We then held our first annual ACS Curling Bonspiel which was a fun event that all Middle Years students participated in.
School Highlights We have had many exciting events throughout the year at Ashern Central School. This year, we created a new social justice group. Students Taking Action At Ashern Central School (STAAACS). STAAACS worked on several projects throughout the year. In October, they did a food drive for WE Scare Hunger. They also did a food and toy drive for two families in time for Christmas. Finally, they fundraised to bring a Live Differently presentation to our school. We celebrated a high school provincial championship team at ACS this year. Congratulations goes out to our girls’ curling team, Talyia Tober, Tansy Tober, Kira Tritthart, Alyssa Tritthart and their coach, Terri Otto. The girls were dominant at both the Zones and Provincial bonspiels. We also wish to highlight Talyia Tober who was a great representative for us at Lakeshore’s Proficiency Awards.
