Fairholme College (FC)

Perched on the edge of the Toowoomba escarpment, you just have to step into our beautiful grounds, and you know that Fairholme is not an ordinary school. It’s a school that celebrates its pursuit of excellence in academic, cultural and sporting fields whilst maintaining a clear commitment to active service – giving back at a local and international level. Yet, as a school founded on restorative justice principles, emphasis is placed upon a robust pastoral care system that focuses on fostering and growing strong relationships. Importantly, as one of Australia’s largest all girls’ boarding schools for girls from rural and remote areas, our ethos of choosing the hard over the easy, is strengthened by our rural families who know what it means ‘to go the extra mile’ both literally and metaphorically. We value this mix of boarding and day students and place importance on maintaining this enrolment balance.
