Congratulations

The 2016 Fairhills High School Awards Night was held on Friday 9th December at the Knox City Council Offices and was a great success. The Awards Night is an important event for the school when our students are recognised for a wide range of achievements.

I would like to thank all of our special guests who supported the school through the award presentations. In particular, we would like to acknowledge and thank the Peace & Loyalty Lodge of Ferntree Gully who, in conjunction with the Bendigo Bank, awarded 10 very generous $550 scholarships to 10 of our students. Congratulations to all award recipients who are listed below.
