About

Forestdale will be a beacon of excellence within the community. Our aim is to continue to provide a strong school with great teachers that enable all children to develop a passion for life-long learning so that they can reach their potential, have high aspirations, embrace future opportunities, responsibilities and experiences and contribute meaningfully to society.

Forestdale is a good school and has a wonderful learning environment with sound structures/systems and a supportive community.

At Forestdale children understand the importance of a respect for fellow human beings and the environment; a sense of justice; determination and resilience to cope with life and an ability to communicate and to collaborate effectively to make a positive contribution to society.

We want children to experience a sense of awe and wonder so that they develop a deep fascination with the world and are absorbed in their learning. We want our children to understand the spiritual, moral, cultural and social dimensions in life and to have an appreciation of beauty, art, music and nature.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
