Welcome to Fairholme College

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.

We are proudly a College of the Presbyterian Church in Queensland, an all-girls’ K – 12 day and boarding school with a co-educational kindergarten that seeks excellence for each and every student.

One measure of a school’s success is the way in which their graduates finish and the hope with which they face their futures. Our school-leavers are invariably optimistic, confident, determined young women who expect to do well in whatever field of study, or vocation that they choose.

Learning at Fairholme

At Fairholme College, our aim is both beautifully intricate and profoundly simple: that our students may develop into lifelong learners and thinkers.
Through the myriad of opportunities offered at Fairholme College, your daughter’s learning journey will develop her academic wellbeing, her intellectual enthusiasm and her social confidence, giving her a set of skills to carry her through further education and beyond, towards a life fulfilled by work, relationships and service to their communities.
We celebrate both participation and excellence, individual achievement of the highest calibre and standard, and all that can be achieved through the joy and collaboration of team work. The academic reputation of the College goes from strength to strength, with our students continuing to achieve outstanding results each year.

Pastoral Care

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.
Pastoral care underpins all practices within the Fairholme com­munity and finds foundation in our values of Christ-Centred Faith and Respect; it encourages the de­velopment of honesty, integrity and a high standard of personal demeanour. Our aim is to nurture a culture which is inclusive and one that encourages positive connections and thus a sense of belong­ing; this supports the girls as they pursue passions, negotiate challenges and navigate their world.

Sport

Sport is an integral part of life at Fairholme with the emphasis being on enjoyment, participation and sport etiquette. A wide variety of sporting activities are offered in both competitive and non-competitive environments.
We are passionate about promoting physical activity for all of our girls and provide many opportunities for participation at all skill levels. Students who excel in their competitive sports are encouraged to pursue their talent at Inter house, Regional, State, National and International levels.
Fairholme College is recognised as one of the leading physical activity providers in Australia, with Olympians such as such as Emilee Cherry, Cathy Freeman and Dannielle Leisch having developed their skills whilst attending Fairholme College.

The Arts

Vibrant and full of life, The Arts department is a spirited display of the heart and soul of Fairholme College.
An avenue of creativity and self-expression, The Arts offers students an opportunity to acquire academic competencies and interpersonal skills through involvement in the artistic process. Offerings include Dance, Drama, Music, Visual Arts, Debating, Public Speaking and Sound & Lighting opportunities.
The cultural profile of the College is enriched by a strong set of performance and presentation events to showcase the highly valued depth and talent of the girls.

Boarding – Your ‘Holme’ away from Home
