The '''Association of Co-educational Schools''' ('''ACS''') is a group of six independent Christian schools in [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], [[Australia]]. The Association was formed in 1997. The 6 schools involved all share very similar beliefs in regard to life, beliefs and educating secondary ages children. The ACS only caters for students from years 7-12.


The '''Association of Coeducational Schools''' (ACS) was formed in 1997 and commenced midweek sporting competitions for Years 7–12 in 1998 with five founding member schools that are coeducational and shared similar philosophies and a commitment to sport.

==Sport==
The ACS does not run a Saturday sport program like some independent schools in Victoria do. Instead matches are held after school with Years 7&8 competing on Tuesday, Years 10,11&12 competing on Wednesday and Year 9 competing on Thursday. After school ACS sport is compulsory for all students who attend ACS schools. Training is also held after school on a different day of the week to the respective students match.


⚫
==Weekly Sport==
Each year there is a [[swimming (sport)|swimming]], [[athletics (sport)|athletics]] and [[cross country running]], chess, public speaking and girls football competition that is optional. [[St. Michael's Grammar School]], [[St Kilda, Victoria|St. Kilda]] have been particularly successful at winning these in recent years with [[Westbourne Grammar School]], [[Truganina]] being the arch-rivals.
Sport for all year levels is played during the week. ACS offers 13 weekly sports, played midweek, across summer and winter seasons, including mixed sports.


Sports offered include: mixed badminton, basketball, cricket, Australian Rules football, football (soccer), futsal, hockey, netball, softball, table tennis, tennis, mixed touch football and volleyball.
==2012 ACS Athletics Carnival==

In 2012 the ACS [[Athletics (sport)|Athletics]] [[carnival]] was cancelled mid-way through due to severe thunderstorms, rain, hail and numerous injuries. The carnival was never rescheduled to another date
==Championship Carnivals==
The ACS offers three major championships; athletics, swimming and cross country. The annual chess tournament and public speaking events are also part of the ACS calendar.
