Forbes High School has an enrolment of approximately 460 students, including 85 Aboriginal students. A leading member of the Lachlan Valley Community of Schools, we have close links with our six local primary schools. Our core values are Respect, Responsibility, Doing Our Best and Honesty and these underpin our teaching and welfare programs. The school provides outstanding opportunities for students in all fields, with success in academic competitions and assessments, sporting competitions and the performing arts. Our students have gone on to represent their school and community at regional, state and national level. Whilst maintaining a broad, traditionally academic curriculum, we also offer an extensive range of vocational courses both on campus and through TAFE. This is further enhanced by our consortium membership in the Mid-Lachlan Trade Training Centre. Students benefit from a differentiated curriculum which provides opportunities for both extension and support programs. The school boasts state of the art hospitality and science facilities, five computer labs and a connected classroom. All faculties have access to an extensive technology network including interactive whiteboards in all areas.
