The ASMS is constantly in the process of creating a learning environment for the future that will prepare young people with a passion for study in science and mathematics to be creative, critical, informed and motivated contributors responding to professional, personal and social issues in their world of the future.

Based on elements of constructivist learning methodologies, teaching and learning programs at the ASMS are underpinned by a set of learning beliefs.  Our learning context emphasises the importance of developing learning experiences that are reflective of emergent and innovative science, mathematics and technology, within an interdisciplinary program.

By designing assessment tasks that promote real and authentic situations, teachers provide opportunities for our students to understand the role of metacognition in the learning experience.  The nature of an ICT rich learning environment allows our students to experience a range of learning resources and then to use these as models to demonstrate their own learning in a variety of ways.  We expect our students to succeed at their personal best, and our expectations are expressed in a set of Graduate Capabilities.
