Fairholme Curriculum
Junior,
Middle & Senior School
The philosophy of restoration offers hope for those of us who want our children to grow up in a world where they understand that whatever they do, whether good or bad, it will have an impact on someone else.
A caring, compassionate and supportive attitude, Christian worship, respect for self and for others and a dedication to developing honesty and integrity form an integral part of everyday life at Fairholme College.
Restorative Practice Thrive Program
Every student in Years 8-12 is time tabled to attend Life Skills lessons once every two weeks.
The program presents an opportunity for the girls to be heard and deliberate over some of the contemporary issues that individuals in today’s society might face.
For example, our students learn how to change a tyre, they conduct Homework Help for students in our community and raise money for community projects.
The aim is to develop each girl’s acceptance of herself as a worthwhile, competent and productive young woman, and also to provide information to enable students to make informed life choices.
