We are delighted to share the Fahan School Strategic Plan 2021-2025.
Founder of Fahan School, Miss Isobel Travers wrote in 1939 that an education worth having should include “First, training in right thinking; that is, training in ability to use their judgement independently. Secondly, flexibility of mind, which is able to grasp the possibilities of the future and to make something of them. Thirdly, trained ability – the ability to do things, and to do them well; in a world where all must play their part it is those who have trained themselves to use their powers who will find the most enjoyment. Finally, a foundation of right principle which will stand them in good stead in times of stress.”
For over 80 years, Fahan School has educated girls and young women in an extraordinary home where they are given every opportunity to flourish. They are cared for and taught in a positive and dynamic environment which cherishes learning, spirit and community. Fahan draws on a rich past to navigate the present and the future, and this plan outlines the immediate and longer-term strategies and actions that we will take to enlighten, inspire and ignite young minds and hearts as we move towards Fahan’s 90th year in 2025. The Plan introduces the Fahan's refreshed Vision, Mission and Values, projects the initiatives for the School and articulates our deep and ongoing commitment to the education of girls from Kindergarten to Year 12.
