Restorative Practice 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.

Every student in Years 8-12 is time tabled to attend Life Skills lessons once every two weeks.

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.
