We value partnering with our families in all aspects of education as we know this results in the best outcomes for our students and community. This website represents a commitment to this partnership in learning. Our hope is that it provides families with an overview of what students learn at school throughout the year and that this supports conversation about learning at home and a greater connection with high school.

At FHS, we approach the curriculum through two fundamental questions; 

• What can we know about an area of learning? and,

• What can we do with this knowledge to make a positive impact on our world?

For example, what can we know about ancient history, mathematics, or science and how can we use this knowledge to better understand and to provide solutions for emerging changes in our world and beyond? 

FHS seeks to enact a future-focussed learning experience in every classroom for every student and our curriculum provides the basis for this. For us, a future focussed curriculum is one that draws on the rich traditions of the past in all disciplines of knowledge, but that gazes forward to identify the big questions that confront us as a species and world, and that provides a framework in which we can adapt to, and tackle those questions at a local level. The Victorian Curriculum provides the framework from which we can contextualise learning experiences for our students and community with the view of supporting them to become qualified, socialised, and autonomous young people that feel a moral sense of responsibility for each other and the world.
