​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​At Aspley State High School, we know that to be successful in any of the pathways available, senior students will be required to:

  • Adopt a Growth Mindset to their learning – put in their best effort, seek and act on feedback and use the strategies we teach them
  • Challenge themselves to do the course of study they are most capable of and be comfortable in the knowledge that the best learning happens when it is difficult
  • Engage positively in all classroom learning
  • Actively complete class learning reviews at home
  • Develop their collaborative learning skills and their abilities in the 21st Century Skills that underpin all our senior subjects.
 


We know that each young person has unique abilities, interests and aspirations and we will work with them, to find the pathway that best suits them. 

To ensure students are working to their potential, when conducting progress interviews with students we ask them to rate their progress and participation.
