Why choose us?

Figtree High School is committed to nurturing excellence in every student. We maintain a strong record of achievement across academics, sport, and the creative and performing arts. Students are supported to reach their personal best through high-quality teaching, diverse learning pathways, and a culture that celebrates success in all its forms. Whether in the classroom, on the sporting field, or on the stage, our students thrive in an environment that encourages ambition, effort, and pride in their achievements.

Figtree High School provides exceptional, state-of-the-art facilities that enable students to explore their interests, develop their talents, and build real-world skills that support future career pathways.

Our sporting grounds include full size football and soccer fields, a fully equipped gymnasium, and basketball courts that cater to both curriculum programs and competitive teams.

In academics, we offer a high-performance learning environment within a comprehensive school setting. Dedicated Gifted and Talented programs, enrichment classes, specialist learning spaces, computer labs, and a well-resourced library give students access to digital tools, research support, and collaborative study opportunities.

Our creative and performing arts programs flourish within specialist arts studios and performance areas. Students are offered regular opportunities to perform and exhibit their work through events such as Showcase Night, the Golden Figs Music and Art Night and our Music Café open-mic sessions.

We also provide industry-standard hospitality facilities that allow students to gain hands-on experience and build confidence in Food Technology and Hospitality career pathways. Our well-equipped wood and metal workshops, along with an innovative Makerspace, further enhance learning by enabling students to develop STEM skills using emerging technologies - designing, creating, and problem-solving in authentic, practical ways.

These outstanding facilities ensure every student has the space, support, and opportunity to shine in their chosen fields and develop skills that will serve them well beyond school.

Our school is proud to be deeply connected to the local community. We work closely with our Community of Schools and local primary partners to support smooth transitions and shared learning opportunities. Our commitment to Aboriginal education is reflected in meaningful partnerships with local Elders and community members, ensuring that culture is woven respectfully and authentically throughout school life. Initiatives such as our Indigenous Garden provide a living space where students can learn, reflect, and celebrate culture.

These strong relationships create a warm, inclusive environment where families feel supported and valued, and where students grow with a true sense of belonging.
