A year at our school

Our annual Swimming Carnival at Farmborough Road Public School is an exciting day at Unanderra's Western Suburbs Pool, filled with fun, friendly competition, and school spirit! Students have the opportunity to showcase their swimming skills, participate in a variety of races, and cheer on their house teams. It’s a fantastic way to promote teamwork, fitness, and enjoyment of water safety.

Sports Carnivals

Early in the year, students have the opportunity to participate in our swimming, athletics, and cross country carnivals, each offering a unique and exciting sporting experience. Outstanding performers from these carnivals may have the opportunity to represent our school in wider regional and state competitions, proudly showcasing their talents beyond the school community.

Student Enrichment Events

Our school offers a diverse range of student enrichment events designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. These include academic competitions, workshops, and specialised programs that encourage students to extend their learning beyond the classroom. Opportunities such as public speaking contests, debating, Spelling Bee, ICAS testing, and Literacy Luncheons enable students to explore their passions and develop valuable skills. Additionally, students have the chance to showcase their talents through performances in choir and participation in Southern Stars. These enrichment activities not only enhance educational experiences but also foster confidence, collaboration, and a lifelong love of learning.
