SCULPTUREGARDEN
The sculpture garden is located in a beautifully landscaped terraced section of the school. Local artists donated some of the sculptures featured here. Other sculptures were created during the annual Art Show when artists-in-residence worked with Ascot students. The artist and the school’s Parents & Citizens Association donated these sculptures. The sculpture garden also features beautiful mosaic waterfalls. These cascade down the terrace. Ascot parent and artist-in-residence Bev Ridsdill-Kenny created these mosaics over many months.

The hall is used for many school-based activities including school assemblies, physical education lessons, the school musical,choir and band practice. It is also used for Arts Council and awards ceremonies as well as fund-raising activities such as the annual Art Show (pictured), school discos, movie nights and extra-curricular community education sessions held after school.
