"Good School, but some areas for improvement"

We transferred our child from another school and have been generally pleased with Fernvale. The Gold Sports Award is a great achievement and our child has enjoyed the after-school clubs. However, we've noticed some inconsistency in the teaching quality and would like to see more parental involvement in school decisions.

"Fantastic School Community"

We had our children at Fernvale for 5 years and loved every minute of it. The school's values of caring, learning and thriving really shine through in everything they do. We still keep in touch with many of the staff and parents, it's a real community!
