About Sport
Sport is a very important aspect of school life at Asquith Boys High School. We look to our new Year 7 students to involve themselves in teams and to help us to maintain the high standard of sport in the school. Asquith Boys High School is one of the few local schools, and the only local comprehensive high school, that participates fully in weekly sport competitions between schools.
Wednesday afternoon is sport afternoon at Asquith. Attendance is COMPULSORY – not optional. Students are not to make appointments or accept employment based on the idea that they will be finished sport by 2.30pm. Dismissal at 2.30pm is a privilege, not a right. Sport, for various reasons, may finish at 3.05pm or later from time to time. Students may be detained until 3.05pm on Wednesday without further parental notice.
Grade sport Students are given the opportunity to try out for a grade sport for the winter and summer seasons. Acceptance into a grade team is dependant on students being committed to the sport, paying compulsory sport levies and being good ambassadors for the school whilst out in public. Individual coaches will give details of venues, travel arrangements and leaving times on a weekly basis. Details of the locations of all venues used for grade sport can be found in the front of the student organiser.
Recreational sport Recreational sport is held partially at school (on the basketball courts, volleyball courts, school quad) and at nearby venues. Details will be provided by the recreational sports organiser. There will be a sports assembly at 12.50pm for school-based recreational sport.
Non sport Students who are unable to do sport because of illness or injury and have supporting documentation to that affect (ie a letter or a medical certificate) attend the non-sport room (Room 10). These students will be permitted to leave at 2.30pm. Students who are placed in non sport because of inappropriate behaviour or because they are on no-go must remain at school until 3.05pm.
Students involved in grade sport can view the weekly sport roster in the document section found below.
