The Public Trustee of Queensland is the Trustee of the Foundation. QATSIF celebrates the fact that QATSIF Scholarships are contributing to “Closing the Gap” of retention to Year 12 in Queensland. The QATSIF Board of Advice actively promotes support for its programs to the business community and welcomes ongoing philanthropic support for investing in the education of the next generation of Indigenous Australians. QATSIF wishes to acknowledge Aunty Ruth Hegarty as a Patron of QATSIF Aunty Ruth knows the history of QATSIF and QATSIF funds first hand and has added her own comment: I have carefully followed the dedicated work that gives great meaning to the lives (now hundreds) of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from all over Queensland. It is my honour to continue to support QATSIF Scholarships and the students who are helped to achieve results that would otherwise be beyond their expectations. I am optimistic that the future is in good hands. Our youth will not fail us! – Dr Ruth Hegarty Professor Cindy Shannon continues to chair the QATSIF Board of Advice: I am enormously proud that seven years later, QATSIF Students, teachers, the Public Trustee, and Community Members all share the educational dream and vision and work closely for the benefit of the students many more of whom are now completing Year 12 and actually “Closing the Gap” on student retention to Year 12 in Queensland. The contribution of QATSIF to this outcome is significant. The future is education and our young people – Professor Shannon For further information contact Professor Cindy Shannon, Chair of QATSIF Board of Advice on 32571777 or [email protected] .

  • Boarding at Fairholme 2021 Handbook (08/21)
    BOARDING at Fairholme ‘Your preparation of today determines your achievement of tomorrow’ Welcome to Boarding at Fairholme We acknowledge the difficult decision involved in sending your daughter to Boarding School and thank you for the opportunity to journey with you, throughout her schooling. As a College, we will never be able to replace her real home, but we do seek to work with you in the provision of a safe, structured environment with clear expectations and guidelines which allow for her growth and learning. For most of our Fairholme boarder parents, the choice to send their daughter away is necessitated by their rural or remote location or seeking out opportunities for a rich and diverse education, not otherwise accessible. We pride ourselves on thinking as a Boarding School, and, as one of the largest in Australia, we know that it is important that we do. Your daughter will become part of a large, vibrant community of girls, girls who will literally become her lifelong friendship network. She will be cared for and nurtured throughout her formative adolescent years; a time when stability, routine and support are deemed vital. Our boarding staff, led by Head of Boarding, Ms Marguerite Dunne have a wealth of experience in working with girls of this age. Whilst they cannot be mum or dad, they are passionately interested in each girl and want to see them achieve their very best in all that they do. There is much to do in all spheres – academic, cultural, sporting and service. We believe that the best education is a well-rounded one, founded in the College’s values where Christ-centred faith is the underpinning.

  • Newsletter 1 August 2012
    Eamon Hannan – Principal Newsletter 1 August 2012 The Olympic Opening ceremony highlighted the need that our secular world has to explore ritual, liturgy and humour. The taking of the oaths, the lighting of the cauldron, the simple photographic remembering of those who had passed away, speak of people trying to connect with ideals and something greater than our individual selves. Mr Bean and the acting of the Queen showed the value of not taking things too seriously in a delightful British way. The ceremony was moving and uplifting and in many respects spoke of the highest of human ideals. Australian Student Prizes for Vocational Education Congratulations to two senior students from last year who have been awarded Australian Student Prizes for Vocational Education. Kaijah Jenkins and James McCann have both received the award from the Federal Minister for Education Mr Peter Garrett. The award is limited to Dates to remember: 500 students Australia wide and includes a prize of $2000 each. Kaijah and James continue a proud tradition of Australian Student Prize winners at the college in recent years.
