Community
Junior School Council
At Fairhills Primary School, our Junior School Council (JSC) gives students a voice in shaping their school community. The JSC is made up of student representatives from across the school who meet regularly to share ideas, discuss issues that matter to students and help make positive changes around the school.
Through their involvement, students develop leadership, communication and teamwork skills while learning about active citizenship and responsibility. The JSC also leads important initiatives such as fundraising events, awareness campaigns and school improvement projects, helping to make Fairhills Primary School a place where every student can contribute and feel proud.
Wellbeing Program
At Fairhills Primary School, we are proud of our strong commitment to student wellbeing. Our school community is supported by a comprehensive Wellbeing Program, which includes a range of strategies and initiatives designed to help every child feel safe, supported and ready to learn.
At Fairhills Primary School, students actively contribute to creating a positive learning environment through the SWPBS framework. They work collaboratively, supporting and respecting one another, making decisions as a group to recognise and celebrate positive behaviours.
Through this process, students learn to work together to achieve shared goals and determine awards that reflect their commitment to our STARR Values — Safety, Teamwork, Achievement, Respect and Responsibility. This approach empowers students to take ownership of their learning environment while reinforcing the behaviours that help everyone thrive.
At Fairhills Primary School students will also develop their social-emotional skills and learn about Respectful Relationships to understand their emotions, build positive connections and make responsible choices. By practising empathy, teamwork and conflict resolution, students contribute to a safe and caring learning community while building resilience and confidence.
Chaplaincy
Our Chaplain provides students with social and emotional support when needed and runs student-led lunchtime clubs, offering guidance while fostering leadership and participation.
Our Chaplains runs Breakfast club from 8:30am to 8:50am on a Monday and Tuesday morning and a top up a pantry where all members of our school community are welcomed.
Parents & Friends Association
We are a small group of parents and carers who are genuinely interested in supporting our school and children through fundraising and social activities. Each year, we create a calendar of fundraising events and meet two to three times a term to plan, discuss, and organise what needs to be done to make each activity a success.
Our fundraising activities are varied and spread throughout the year and have included events such as the Mother’s Day and Father’s Day stalls, Colour Fun Run, Bunnings Sausage Sizzles, Cookie Drive and Icy Pole sales during Terms 1 and 3.
In addition to fundraising, the PFA also organises social activities that help strengthen our school community, such as our School Discos, Welcome Picnic and Paint and Sip nights.
Families can be involved as much or as little as they wish, it’s a great opportunity to meet others within the school community and build lasting friendships.
We warmly invite you to get involved with the PFA. Whether you’d like to become a regular member or simply help on an as-needed basis, we’d love to meet you!
