Why Fairholme
boarding schools toowoomba qld

Fairholme College...


leading the way academically for over 100 years.


The Fairholme way is focused on high academic standards, but so is the desire to see students discover and develop their own strengths, from Kindy through to Year 12.


Fairholme has a tradition of educational excellence which embraces all facets of learning: academic, sporting, and the arts. We believe a well-rounded curriculum fully nurtures each student’s physical and social development.


Our focus is very much on the education of girls; creating classrooms that suit the learning of girls; challenging stereotypical views of females’ roles in education and ultimately growing confident, independent women.

Amanda Barwick’s path to becoming a leading voice in the rural industry is rooted in her formative years at Fairholme College, where she first experienced the power of connection. As a Boarder from Inverell, the Boarding House not only became her home, but her community, which she says was instrumental in shaping her perspective on life. ‘The sense of belonging and support within the Boarding House was something I never took for granted,’ she reflects.
