The school community is fantastic and we are so happy we have found Fairgreen! Our children are well supported and there are many great initiatives to keep them engaged. Lorna's team has been amazing with helping our son with some of his learning challenges and empowering him/us in the process. Marshall is an absolute star as well!
My daughter has been attending Fairgreen since KG-1 and she’s loved the school and teachers from day one. She loves the school, feels accepted, and year after year her teachers have all been supportive and overall amazing! We can see the incredible influence the environment has had on her academic life and social and emotional development as well. Thank you all.
My daughter is extremely happy and loves going to school, and loves her teacher. Art teacher is amazing, our daughter learned so much from him. She always says:"I draw so well because we have a great teacher that teaches us very well". All the teachers are amazing. Our daughter speaks highly about them and always smiles.
We love that it's a cozy, small and safe environment with well-mannered, polite and sweet kids, which is extremely important to us. Our daughter feels safe and happy. Teachers are kind, supportive and do their best to educate kids. Our daughter says she never wants to leave Fairgreen.
Being part of a community. Seeing my child thrive and being confident. Coming to school happy everyday.
Fairgreen is a happy inclusive school. My children are happy. They learn a lot about being caring global citizens. Emotional wellbeing and caring for others. The community feels great. We see a lot of positive improvements and appreciate them
We love the community feel. The teachers are approachable and communicate effectively.
The Inclusion team is great and so supportive!! Special thanks also to Mr Gerber, Ms Sharp, Ms Gore and Ms McKim who have supported us so well - their door is always open and they take a genuine interest in my son. His life wouldn’t be the same without them. Thank you!
We are very impressed with all of the teaching staff involved in our son's education. William is lucky to have Ms. Piccioli as his teacher!
Overall great school, great leadership team and staff. My child is happy there and I've seen his progress over the years.
We’d like to comment on the overall welcoming feeling we receive when we are at Fairgreen. The main gate security /parking assistant is one of the most welcoming people we’ve seen, and the whole team walking in, is truly warm and welcoming. Keira's class and teachers are fantastic. They go the extra mile everyday for every student and parent. We are truly blessed and feel happy with her class placement this year.
As new parents - we absolutely LOVE the school and can't stop talking about it to family and friends! Our boys are shining examples of how much joy and happiness the school embeds within them! Our boys have had exposure in every field - from sport, theatre, school teams, eco-council, outdoor trips, within just their first months! Very VERY happy parents!
I like the school, my daughter loves it and what can I say more!
Love the school and all the teachers and staff. All are so friendly and genuine and caring. Love all the smiles, and warm welcome when I visit the school.
We are really happy with the school, our 2 boys love it!
Our boys LOVE attending school - and for specific reasons - they look forward with joy to Friday mornings - the school promotes so much unity and happiness among them! They run through the gates every morning and that gives us so much joy
Love the reading buddy, such a great initiative.
I think you are doing a great job to include The Sustainable City’s community businesses in initiatives
I definitely see real growth at Fairgreen with my child. She often does a role-reversal with us and we get a first hand experience of her digital understanding.
We are new parents and BOTH our boys (Grade 1 & Grade 4) have blossomed remarkably within their first few months at Fairgreen. The teachers and staff from top down have made the most positive impact on their characters and we have watched, with joy, the changes.
A unique part of our curriculum is how it’s interconnected and how learning does not happen in isolation. We know, and the International Baccalaureate knows, that in the future, nothing will be solved through one subject. It’s extremely important that students begin that understanding right away.

It’s really exciting to have a whole school that’s built around sustainability, renewable energy and making the world a better place. You’re teaching kids the skills to think outside the box, to create, and to apply their knowledge in new ways.

Fairgreen has really helped to teach my children about the environment. It’s been really wonderful for them to really connect to their part in taking care of this world.

The community that is here is very supportive for my kids. Fairgreen offers a smaller, less overwhelming environment. With this my kids are confident, there is less social pressure on them. My child feels free to be himself at Fairgreen. He’s become confident in himself.

We love the idea of being able to take our child to school in this community. It’s magical.
