Fairvale High School is a government-funded co-educational comprehensive secondary day school, located in Fairfield West, a south-western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Established in 1969, the school caters for approximately 1,500 students from Year 7 to Year 12. The school is operated by the New South Wales Department of Education. The school's name is portmanteau of the neighbouring suburbs of Fairfield and Canley Vale.
Campus
[edit][2] The first attempt at building the Binishell in 1974 resulted in disaster when the foundations failed the Binishell and it collapsed in the centre. There were no injuries.[2]
The Canley Vale Tutorial Centre, which serves students who have had difficulty completing their education in a mainstream school, is an annex to the school; however, it is not on the same site, but is near the close by Canley Vale Public School.[3]
New facilities were opened in 2022 under a New South Wales Government program that aimed to provide schools with new and upgraded facilities. Block K provided 30 additional teaching spaces with specialised classrooms for Science and Cooking classes. Block J acts as a multipurpose school hall, it is used for school events such as concerts and talent shows. It can also be used as an indoor Basketball/Netball court.[4]
Extracurricular activities
[edit]Student activities and groups include The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, LEOs Club, Personal Development/Health/Physical Education, Rotary, String Ensemble, Vocal group, Junior and Senior Dance ensembles, Various Rock Bands and Student Representative Council.
