Welcome to Term 2, we are expecting a wonderful and very busy term. The Prep and Year 1 children began the term with an intensive swimming program. We encourage parents to continue with swimming lessons, after the initial school program. It is crucial children develop skills for both shallow and deep waters – water safety and swimming skills are essential and non-negotiable life skills!

Fairview Incursion - Indigenous Fusion with Western Creation

On Wednesday 18 April, we were lucky enough to have two Indigenous teachers visit our Fairview students. Alan and Tristan, taught us about how to play the Digeridoo and showed us the many different sounds it can make. They also shared with us a wonderful and engaging Dreamtime story about a very BIG crocodile. The students were thoroughly engaged and were excited to see some of the staff partaking in the performance.
