In 2020, Fairhills High School is offering a range of Year 7 scholarships to assist families as they transition from primary to secondary school. These scholarships are open to all grade 6 primary school students.

Fairhills High School tours for Prospective Year 7 students are a great way to see our school in operation.  Commencing from the General Office tours start 9.00am sharp and run for approximately 60 minutes.  Bookings are essential. 

Last week the VCE Art & Visual Communication students participated in the inaugural 3 day camp to western Victoria for hands on experiences in various forms of art & the opportunity to visit art galleries in the area.

You are invited to this free 8 week program designed to support you in creating strong foundations with your child as they navigate the early years of high school.

On Tuesday 30th March, the year 6 students from Boronia West, Knox Central and Wattleview Primary Schools joined us at Fairhills High School for a Performing Arts Day to experience a glimpse of the Fairhills High School Performing Arts Academy.
