High school

Fairbairn College

Fairbairn College is known as a great school. But I feel like they are to backwards in time with tech and their fitness is too much for learners to handle

School review

Eduction is C level, but when it comes to rules and the kids mental health it’s embarrassing. I understand every school has rules in place, but when you van conditioner on our hair( I mean honestly it’s not a great world when it comes to other girls making fun out of our hair), the prefects asking us to remove our scarf to each if we have the correct earrings, kicking us out of a subject because we aren’t good enough and caring more about status only makes us not want to come to school. Fairbairn tries so hard to be a private school just to show other schools they are better. And even if a child is a true trouble maker and tried to behave then still have the audacity to tell you that you don’t belong here and you should go find another school. Yes their academics are good. But if you aren’t good in a certain subject don’t expect the teachers to help you. Oh and if you were absent for a day and then you go into class. Like mathematics for example. My one teacher told me a few and other kids that she was paid to teach the lesson once. There are really good teachers but if some don’t like you I’d feel sorry. And everyone thinks fairbairn is such a good school but it’s closed doors.

Behind closed doors...

I've been in Fairbairn for 4 years and can say that, this school is ok. It's not very up to date with tech. Most teachers are too old to be teaching. School does the minimum about bullying. The school is not your first option unless you stay in the area. But they do have a good reputation and a good morale system in place.

Never a dull day🌞🌻

I have been at Fairbairn College for about four years now and I can truly say that I have never had a bad encounter with the school itself. As our current principal says: “ At our school it is in to do well and you are not seen as a nerd.” As a student, I agree 100%. Fairbairn College strives not only in the classrooms but also on the sports fields. We are competitive but we remember to always have fun.
