We’re proud to present our first Takeover Thursday for 2024 with Ascham School, Sydney.
If you know you know… Ascham is renown not only for it’s near 140 years of boarding for country girls, but also for their unique learning program – the Dalton Plan. A teaching philosophy that embraces four principles—collaboration, responsibility, reflection and independence.
Ascham is committed to educating girls from rural, regional and remote areas of NSW and indeed Australia and this is further demonstrated by their investment in new boarding houses and facilities.
I firmly believe in the opportunities boarding schools offer our country students, and when I can see schools investing in their boarders it gives me heart and hope for the future. It’s not easy for schools from our metropolitan areas to continue to ensure their boarding communities have room to grow (space being a key element). When schools, such as Ascham, strive to ensure that they can remain a home away from home for generations to come it must be commended.
There’s more to Ascham than The Dalton Plan. Take a few minutes to discover what generations of country families have experienced with today’s Takeover Thursday. Thank you to the team at Ascham.

The Middle Years of Boarding
The middle years of high school, especially for boarders, mark a period of profound personal growth amid the challenges of adolescence and transitioning into adulthood. Ascham Boarding strategically utilizes this time for reset, fostering new friendships, expanding sisterhood bonds, and integrating transformative experiences through programs like Residential stays. Parental support and trust in the school community play pivotal roles in nurturing resilient boarders through this dynamic phase.
