Student’s Stationery & Text Book List
While NASHS does provide resources for use in class, the booklist indicates textbooks and equipment that your child will need to purchase to study the selected courses.
All text books are supplied for students in Years 7 to 10. A workbook may be requested for some subjects.
Students in Year 11 and 12 need to supply their own text books as indicated on the lists.
NASHS does not endorse the purchase of these items from any particular supplier. We believe it is a family decision as to where to purchase these student requirements.

Year 7 and 9 National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy - NAPLAN
NAPLAN Parent Note 2020
In May all Year 7 and 9 students across Australia will take part in the National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN)
NAPLAN is designed to help parents and teachers better judge how Year 7 and 9 students are performing in relation to nationally-agreed standards. As this has become part of our reporting to parent processes, it is anticipated that all students will participate.
NAPLAN Assessments will be conducted in Writing, Language Conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation), Reading and Numeracy. There are a total of 4 assessments, Writing is the first assessment and it's results are used to set the appropriate level for the following Literacy assessments.
It is important to attend the Writing test due to it's significance. Each assessment is approximately one hour in length. Click on the link for further information in the brochure titled 2020 NAPLAN Information for Parents. The NAPLAN assessments will take place during normal school time in the week commencing 14th May (week 3, term 2). At NASHS all Year 7 and 9 students will sit the tests under formal assessment conditions in their classrooms.
Students absent on the assessment day/s will be provided with an opportunity to do the assessment later in that week. Withdrawal and Exemption forms can be found HERE on the website

AGM is Wednesday 25 March 2020
P&C meetings are held twice a term.
Held in NASHS staffroom (entrance via NASHS main administration building and upstairs

Email Contact Adress pcnashsasesc@gmail.com
Our P&C is a combined NASHS & Albany Secondary Education Support Centre Association. New and existing parents / carers are very welcome to attend P&C meetings.
The canteen is operated and staffed by the P&C and provides a range of healthy food options for students. Lunches can be ordered online using quickclick
Our P&C provides the forum for parents, teachers and citizens to collaborate to continuously improve our schools, North Albany Senior High School and Albany Secondary Education Support Centre.
We meet twice a term and always welcome new faces. Each year office bearers for the P&C are elected at the AGM. This year we are looking for new people and ideas for all positions.
Volunteers who take on these positions will be given good support and training, no previous experience required.
Here are some reasons as to why you should be involved in our P&C:
- You get a behind‐the‐scenes look at your child’s school. The NASHS and ASESC Principals, Sharon Doohan and Kaye Stevens, participate in the meetings, and we get to hear from them some of the great things that have been happening at school – things that often aren’t in the newsletters.
- We get asked our opinions on school matters, and get to have an input in some decisions.
- We have the opportunity to ask questions about school policies and procedures, and get things clarified.
- The P & C is a way for parents to be heard, and to be a valued voice in the community.
- Plus, you feel a part of your child’s education, and get to spend a pleasant couple of hours in friendly
- company, and share a cuppa!
Just a few things your P & C does:
- Sucessfully applied for funding for Solar Panels at NASHS which were installed in 2018
- Runs NASHS canteen with employed staff (no volunteers) every day of the week.
- Fundraising is used to provide facilities and resources for the students eg lockers, outdoor seating, iPads, Endeavour Awards, outdoor table tennis table and support ASESC Unity Days.
