## About

Ashmont Public School is located on the western fringe of Wagga Wagga and serves a diverse community, with approximately 40% of students identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. The school features spacious playground areas and well-equipped learning environments, including modern technology for interactive learning. Recent infrastructure upgrades include improvements to the school hall, new canteen facilities, and outdoor learning areas. 

The school's dedicated and professional staff focus on delivering high-quality educational programs founded on high expectations for student performance. With targeted funding aimed at supporting the learning needs of Indigenous and disadvantaged students, literacy and numeracy remain the school's priorities. A defined student welfare program promotes social competencies, confidence, and leadership skills among students. 

To foster a positive environment, the Positive Behaviour for Learning Program is implemented, emphasising values such as respect, self-discipline, tolerance, and honesty. Community engagement is strong at Ashmont Public School, with regular involvement from parents and local residents through the P&C Association and Schools in Partnership Advisory Committee. 

Creative and performing arts programs, sporting activities, and transition programs for Kindergarten students are integral aspects of the school’s offerings. The school's motto, 'Honour Be Our Guide', is reflected in its commitment to valuing respect and honour via the Wiradjuri word 'Yindyamarra', which encompasses the importance of honour and thoughtful action.
