The values of Fairvale High School are founded on the principles of tradition, care and innovation. The school’s supportive and caring environment builds learning capacity in a wide range of academic, sporting and vocational subjects.
While Fairvale High has achieved exemplary successes in these areas, the school also offers extension opportunities in Mathematics, English, History and in the Creative and Performing Arts.
Fairvale High School has excellent facilities including a Dance Space, Visual Arts Gallery, a Construction Trade Training Centre, Hospitality Kitchens, Covered Outdoor Learning Area, Welfare Hub, renovated Science labs, Textile rooms and a Gym/Weights area. The school has undergone a capital works program comprising 30 new classrooms, administration area and a new Hall which were completed in 2022. Further capital works are planned for 2024 including the extension of the COLA and construction of extra Junior toilets to be based in Wright Block.
Fairvale’s delivery of comprehensive, inclusive, student centred programs is achieved with support from highly skilled and committed teachers and intensive homework/tutorial centres. Community relations are strengthened through partnerships with tertiary organisations, local primary schools, and an active parent and community commitee.
