Providing a diverse and vigorous co-curricular program.
Managed by highly qualified teachers and visiting specialists, Fairholme's co-curriculum program covers all aspects of The Arts and service activities.
All Fairholme girls are given the opportunity to explore their interests and passions in The Arts, extending from Music, Dance and Drama to Visual Arts, Debating and Public Speaking, as well as Sound and Lighting Technology.
