Fairmont High

Fairmont High School opened its doors to 330 learners in January 1977. Today we teach more than 1200 learners in an environment where people care and teachers go the extra mile to make the difference in the lives of the learners they teach.

Situated in the lush, green suburb of Durbell in Durbanville, the school boasts a library, an indoor sports centre, eight tennis courts, four computer rooms with close to 270 computers on our network, five sports fields, two basketball courts, a swimming pool, a technology centre and the only hockey astro-turf field in the Northern Suburbs.

Our aim is to:

  • provide our learners with a balanced education by focusing on academics in such a way that they will take their place in the community as well-educated people
  • use sport and cultural activities as educational opportunities to the benefit of the learners
