Principal's welcome Welcome to Farnborough State School, a welcoming and inclusive community where we want every child to feel known, valued and supported to succeed. Our motto, “Strive for Excellence", reflects our commitment to high expectations for learning, behaviour and engagement. Our vision—“Empowered, connected learners striving to grow and lead in an inclusive community"—guides our work and the opportunities we create for our students. We believe that academic achievement and a strong sense of belonging go hand in hand. In a safe, supportive and engaging environment, we encourage students to be curious, embrace challenges and take pride in their progress. Our staff are committed to high-quality teaching that responds to students' strengths and learning needs. A strong foundation in reading is central to our approach, helping children access learning across the Australian Curriculum. Through explicit teaching, purposeful assessment and appropriate support and extension, we strive to help every learner grow in confidence, knowledge and independence. Our school values shape how we learn, interact and care for one another: Fair: We are Bucket Fillers. Safe: We keep ourselves and others safe. Studious: We learn and allow others to learn. These shared expectations help us build respectful relationships and a positive school culture where every student can contribute and belong. As Principal, I am proud to lead a school that values the partnership between home and school. By working together, listening to one another and celebrating progress, we can support each child throughout their primary school years and prepare them for the opportunities ahead. I invite you to explore our website, contact our team and arrange a visit to experience our school community. We look forward to partnering with you in your child's education, ensuring they have every opportunity, every day to succeed. Sarah Smith
