Albany Senior High School turns 10 years old - and you are invited!

When Albany Senior High School opened its doors in 2009 it was the first state-funded senior high school built in New Zealand catering for students from Years 11-13. The school was officially opened in February 2009 by the Prime Minister, John Key.

Just as it was then, ASHS is still seen as one of New Zealand’s most innovative schools with many unique features: open-plan learning commons, 100 minute lessons, tutorials and Impact Projects to list a few. Albany Senior High School continues to provide an A+ (Academic Plus) education, where the A stands for excellent academic results and the plus is the innovation, creativity and future-focused skills that our students gain by allowing them to take their learning to the world through Impact Projects.

February marks ASHS's 10th birthday and it is definitely time to catch up with everyone who has been part of Albany Senior High School on our way to double figures. On Friday 22nd February from 4pm we will be hosting celebratory drinks and nibbles - we would love any past and present staff and students to come along so we can hear where the last 10 years have taken you.
