At Ashburton Borough School we have high expectations for our year 1 - 8 students. We enjoy encouraging and challenging them to reach their personal excellence. We pride ourselves on personalising the education of our learners, having students at the centre of all decisions, and developing a sense of belonging to the school and wider community.

Ashburton Borough School is a diverse school leading the way in future focused innovative education. Being an ethnically diverse community we value the customs and traditions our families can share with us.

The school has been recently renovated and its collaborative, modern spaces provide an enriching, empowering and engaging learning environment. Our vision is for all our stakeholders to Be Brave, Be Strong, Be Borough. Students, Staff and whanau work hard together to live our strategic vision of Achieve Believe Succeed.

Important Changes for Girls Grade 2025:

This season, we’re making some changes to our Girls Grade sign-ups to make it more accessible for girls from smaller schools to join a team. Our goal is to offer more opportunities for girls to get involved and enjoy the game of basketball!

Here’s how it works:

“Have a Go” Sessions:
We’ll be hosting two fun, no-pressure sessions where girls can try basketball and get a feel for the game:
24th February
3rd March
Team Play:
After the “Have a Go” sessions, we’ll form teams, and the girls will compete in games from 10th March to 26th May.
How to Sign Up:
Please use the attached link here.

Boys Grade:

The Boys Grade will be run the same as last year, where teams must sign up as a group with a minimum of 8 players per team.They will not have “Have a Go” days; their competition will start on 24th February.
