Celebrating success at Forbes High School

The first six months at Forbes High School have been a resounding success, and if we were to assign ourselves a grade, it would undoubtedly be an A.

During this semester, our students have actively engaged in a diverse array of academic, cultural, sporting, and creative pursuits.

In the classroom, our students have thrived, benefiting from a wide range of enriching learning experiences facilitated by our dedicated and fully qualified staff.

Their passion and commitment ensure that all student needs are met, whether through extension opportunities or tailored support for individual learning requirements.

Our HSC cohort has particularly excelled, participating in non-assessable exams that provide valuable practice and high-quality feedback in preparation for the upcoming Trial HSC in Term 3.

Having reviewed all student reports, I can confidently assert that the quality of education occurring within our classrooms is exceptional.

Our students continue to foster a positive school culture at Forbes High School.

This semester, we celebrated three spirited sporting carnivals that showcased student pride and enthusiasm.

We are particularly excited for Term 3 and the annual Ben Hall Shield - a competition that has expanded to include The Henry Lawson High School alongside Blayney High School.

Additionally, our Student Representative Council led a vibrant School Spirit Week, filled with fun activities designed to strengthen our collective spirit and pride in our school community.

Forbes High School is also committed to maintaining facilities of the highest standard.

We are thrilled to announce that we have been selected for a significant upgrade that aims to support all students in achieving their potential. As we advance with the implementation of High Potential Gifted Education, this upgrade will include specialised learning spaces that will empower every student to excel.

Our students have engaged in a variety of cultural activities throughout the semester. The Nginhagu Dance group continues to flourish, allowing students to develop their dance expertise.

There have been numerous collaborative opportunities for this group to connect with our partner schools and the wider Forbes community.

Additionally, students participate in other Aboriginal programs such as Girri Girri and the Girinyalanha Girls Group, all under the guidance of our passionate Aboriginal Education Team.

In the realm of Creative and Performing Arts, our students have performed with great enthusiasm at the Cowra and Forbes Eisteddfod. They also had the opportunity to showcase their talents in Sydney at Pulse Alive.

With weekly choir and band rehearsals, we eagerly anticipate the second semester and our annual MADD (Music, Art, Dance, and Drama) night.

Together, we are building a bright future at Forbes High School, where every student has the opportunity to shine.
