Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the Range escarpment in Australia's Garden City of Toowoomba, Fairholme College is one of Australia's leading independent girls' schools with around 900 students from Kindy to Year 12.
Fairholme students enjoy outstanding success in the academic pursuit, as well as in sporting, cultural and service activities. Please explore further on the College website to learn more about Fairholme's offerings and our students' achievements.
From the establishment of our predecessor school in ****, through the move to our current location in **** and into the 21st century, Fairholme is committed to a student enrolment split roughly ***** between country boarders and Toowoomba day girls, and to single-sex girls' education.
A College of the Presbyterian Church of Queensland, Fairholme is committed to creating a caring Christian community where all we do is undergirded by our Christian faith.
We invite university students studying Education students in **** to express their interest in an exciting opportunity to immerse themselves in the vibrant life of our school community. This role offers the chance to go beyond theory and gain authentic, hands-on experience in a dynamic school environment. With the flexibility to be on campus each week, you will engage directly in the rhythms of teaching and learning, while developing the practical skills that shape exceptional educators.
We are especially seeking those who feel inspired by the unique possibilities of an Independent, all-girls' boarding and day school – where education empowers, challenges and uplifts every learner.
The 'Step Forward' experience is a scholarship that attracts $***** per 12-month period ($**** per school term) and is available to a committed, academically focused Education student seeking to gain greater experience in an education setting through ongoing professional learning, mentorship, and practical understanding. The one-year period will run from the point of scholarship commencement - Term 1 of the **** school year. An extension of the scholarship, beyond 12 months, where applicable, is possible for the right candidate/s.
The recipient will gain experience by providing the equivalent of 10 hours per week term time (*90 hours per term) – the configuration of those hours to be negotiated. This may include:
In-class teacher aide work with a mentor or mentors
Participation in camps or co-curricular activities
It is anticipated that through this opportunity, the scholarship recipient will be well-placed to work within a similar setting upon graduation, or, should the opportunity arise, as a beginning teacher at Fairholme College.
