Our school year starts in late January and ends in mid-December. Our calendar and curriculum means that students can easily transition to and from Australia. Students leave our school as confident and globally minded young people. Our exceptional academic outcomes are a result of students and teachers' commitment to education and their love for learning.

Wellbeing & Prosper

Wellbeing is a fundamental component of school life, significantly contributing to the overall success of all students. AISHK provides opportunities, both inside and outside the classroom, for students to experience significant personal development during their Primary and Secondary school education. Their learning journeys encompass age appropriate growth in their social and emotional wellbeing and their academic pathways. Students develop essential life skills such as resilience, independence, safe risk-taking, collaboration and leadership. 

PROSPER

A working group of staff and students conducted a comprehensive review of what wellbeing means to the AISHK community. As a result, an evidence-based framework, PROSPER, anchored in positive psychology, was introduced. Its implementation is a significant milestone as AISHK formally lays the foundation for how we live, learn and grow as a community, using a common language for everyday wellbeing. The PROSPER framework is structured around a set of norms. These norms are integrated into the school's practices and programmes that enhance both wellbeing and academic achievement.

Assessment and Reporting

Assessment and reporting is ongoing at AISHK and attainment is not based on a single set of exams. Assessment is used to further students' learning and growth. 

In Term 1 of the Primary and the Secondary school parents are invited to a parent-teacher interview to review how students are settling into the new year. At the end of Term 2 and Term 4 parents receive an academic report which outlines progress. 

In Term 3 there is also a student-led conference that gives students the opportunity to share their learning directly with parents.

NAPLAN

The National (Australian) Assessment Programme – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an assessment programme for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.

AISHK uses these assessments to determine at what level our students are developing the literacy and numeracy skills that provide the critical foundation for all learning. Taking part in the NAPLAN assessments provides AISHK with benchmarking data so as a school we can determine how our students compare against Australian national standards. Our students across all year levels consistently perform very well, surpassing Australian national averages.
