Fadden Primary School

Welcome to Fadden Primary School, a beloved institution located in the heart of the Fadden community in Australia. Established in 1985 and named after Sir Arthur Fadden, former Australian Prime Minister, our school has a rich history and strong connections with past, present, and future families.

Nestled high in the hills of Fadden, our school offers stunning views of the Brindabella ranges from our spacious oval. Accessible through walkways and public footpaths, our school is not only open to families but also to the local kangaroo population after school hours. With no fences, we embrace the unique harmony between nature and education.

At Fadden Primary School, we place a strong emphasis on Positive Behaviours for Learning. Our 283 students, ranging from Preschool to Year 6, are explicitly taught the importance of respect for oneself, others, the school, and the environment. We also encourage responsibility for one's choices, actions, and words.

Our dedicated and highly skilled staff create an inclusive environment that engages students and fosters a love for learning. Our modern and attractive facilities include landscaped courtyards, a pond, a kitchen classroom, and a spiral forest in our preschool area. These spaces provide a stimulating learning environment that nurtures creativity and curiosity.

Aligned with our motto, 'growing leaders for tomorrow', our teachers deliver rigorous and relevant programs that develop critical thinking skills, social/emotional capabilities, and confidence in our students. We aim to empower them to become global citizens who can navigate an unknown future. In addition to core subjects, our specialist teachers offer programs in Japanese language and culture, physical education, and information technology through the library. We are also proud to have two senior brass bands and a Student Leadership Council that provides genuine leadership opportunities.

As the school leader, I strongly believe in the saying, 'it takes a village to raise a child.' I work closely with the Fadden Primary School Board and Parents and Citizens groups, who play a vital role in connecting our school with the wider community. Their dedication and support contribute to the continued success of our school.

We invite you to join our vibrant and nurturing educational community. Whether you are a prospective student, parent, or community member, we look forward to welcoming you to Fadden Primary School. For more information, please contact us at (02) 6142 2462 or email us at info@faddenps.act.edu.au.
