The Fernleigh Public School difference

A strong start

Our school is a welcoming and inclusive community where every child feels safe, supported, and ready to learn from day one. We value the diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences our students bring, and we work hard to ensure each child feels a sense of belonging as they begin their learning journey.

Growth in the classroom and beyond

We provide rich learning experiences across a wide range of subjects and opportunities. Our students are encouraged to explore, question, and develop new skills, helping them discover their interests and build confidence for future learning. Whether in the classroom, on the playground, or through creative and community programs, we support growth in every area of school life.

Support for every family

Our teachers, learning support staff, and wellbeing team work closely with families to ensure each child receives the support they need to thrive. Together, we develop personalised plans and strategies that reflect each student’s strengths and aspirations, creating learning pathways that genuinely work for them.

Principal's message

Welcome to Fernleigh Public School, a small school with a big heart and a clear vision for every learner. Here, every child is known, valued, and supported to succeed.

At Fernleigh, we believe all students deserve a learning environment where they feel safe, challenged, and inspired. Our dedicated staff work in partnership with families to nurture curiosity, build confidence, and help each child discover their unique strengths. Together, we create classrooms that are inclusive, engaging, and grounded in high expectations for every learner.

We are proud of our strong sense of belonging and the way our students look out for one another. Wellbeing, connection, and opportunity sit at the centre of everything we do. This is a place where children feel confident to take risks, try new things, and grow into capable, caring, and resilient young people.

As you explore our website, I hope you see the richness of learning and community that makes Fernleigh Public School such a vibrant and inspiring place. We are proud of who we are, and excited about all we are becoming.
