The Fairfax Public School difference

High-quality student-centred teaching and learning

Our high ratio of teachers to students enables greater focus on learning at point of need to facilitate improvement and growth. We recognise and nurture student growth in areas aligned with the high potential and gifted streams (HPGE). HPGE opportunities are flexible depending on individual student strengths identified each year.

A strong sense of belonging

A school and community where everyone know and care for each other. Students are supported to be the best version of themselves and have a strong sense of identity. Inclusion is valued through demonstrated action.

A learning environment where students thrive

Children can really thrive in a quiet, country environment free of what can be overwhelming large classrooms of children and urban distractions; whilst building a strong social foundation with a smaller cohort of friends both at Fairfax and other small schools who regularly join together with the Fairfax students for sports, excursions and other cultural or academic activities.

Principal's message

Welcome to Fairfax Public School. We are a small, rural school in the community of Maules Creek in northwestern NSW. We strongly celebrate the traditional values associated with the country way of life and recognise effort, integrity and resilience being key in becoming engaged and successful learners and citizens of Australian society beyond school.

We are extremely proud of our strong, student-centred culture celebrating the growth of an all-round student who strives to be the best they can be through our high expectations reflected in our motto, “Not Many but Much.” Each and every student thrives in the peaceful and safe learning environment as dedicated teachers strive to enable students to excel in areas of strength but with dedicated focus on improvement in areas at point of need.

2026 Transition Program
