Fahan School 1 Fisher Lane, Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7005

Welcome to Fahan School, a leading establishment and point of interest located in the beautiful suburb of Sandy Bay, Fisher Lane, Australia. Founded in 1935 by Miss Isobel Travers and Miss Audrey Morphett, Fahan School is a prestigious primary school catering to girls from Kindergarten to Year 12.

Our institution is committed to enlightening, inspiring, and igniting young minds and hearts. We believe in creating a community where all individuals can flourish and thrive. With a deep love for learning and the development of right principles, we empower each Fahan girl to confidently embrace her future.

Miss Travers and Miss Morphett firmly believed in the limitless potential of young women, and this ideology is reflected in our motto, "Light Come Visit Me." This motto signifies not just sunlight, but also enlightenment, which is the ultimate goal of education.

We are thrilled to share with you our Capital Master Plan, a meticulously curated vision for the future of Fahan School. Developed over the past three years in collaboration with Tasmanian architects, Bence Mulcahy, this plan aims to enhance and upgrade our facilities to provide an even better learning environment for our students.

In recognition of our exceptional alumni, we are proud to announce that Denita Wawn, a Fahan School alumna from the Class of 1987, was awarded the prestigious Gerdy Jevtic Medal for 2023. As the Chief Executive Officer of Master Builders Australia, Denita is the first female CEO in the organization's 130-year history. Her achievements serve as an inspiration to our current students, showcasing the endless possibilities that await them.

As part of our commitment to guiding our students towards successful futures, Fahan School recently hosted a Careers Expo. This event was specifically designed to enlighten and inspire students from Years 9 through to Year 12, providing them with valuable insights and opportunities to explore various career paths.

At Fahan School, we strive to create an inclusive and nurturing environment that fosters academic excellence, personal growth, and the development of strong values. We invite you to join our vibrant community and experience the exceptional education we offer.
