Fairview Heights State School is a relatively new school as it was established in 1995 and therefore has modern attractive buildings and gardens. The Fairview Heights school-wide pedagogy 'Growing Together - Learning Forever' reflects the purpose of our school. Our aim at Fairview Heights is that each person within our school, whether adult or child, should feel valued as an individual and for the role they can play in our school community and beyond. Each student will be given the opportunity to learn how to learn for now and for the future by problem solving in real-life situations and is scaffolded by sequential learning experiences. Through our 'Vision' Program we encourage our students to learn the social skills needed to function in and benefit society as a whole. The contributions made by our parents and staff are an integral part of the school and are encouraged through open collaboration and inclusive decision making which creates ownership and a shared understanding of the school's direction. The Jacaranda Tree is the metaphor for the sense of purpose we feel at Fairview as we develop a root system embedded strongly in values education.
