At Fairbairn College our netball department is divided into 3 age groups: u/14, u/16 and u/19.

We have a great group of girls in this department and in each age group we have approximately 4 teams. For the girls whom have never played or those who only have a basic knowledge of the game, but still have a keen spirit usually get placed in our outstanding development programme, where players get the opportunity to build their skills and move up in the ranks.

We have enthusiastic staff members and coaches who have a passion for the sport and the students whom they coach. We always strive to bring the best out of every student during the season year after year. Practices take place twice a week, usually followed by weekly matches on a Thursday.

Each netball season is focused on improving skills but we also aim to build relationships and team spirit amongst the players.

Tennis at Fairbairn caters for all levels and strengths of tennis. We have the LEAGUE players consisting of four boys’ teams and four girls’ teams. These leagues are of different levels so all players are catered for. For those who feel they are not ready for league matches but are keen to learn more about tennis, we have DEVELOPMENT tennis. The players in this group are assisted in learning more about tennis and having fun while doing so.

We are privileged to have three Professional tennis coaches  from Hot Shots Tennis Academy as they provide expert coaching for both team and development players alike.

Fairbairn is proud to have nine tennis courts ,that are always full of tennis players no matter what level. No matter the talent, there is a place within our structures for every budding tennis player.

Fairbairn College has four water-polo teams ie. girls and boys junior and senior.  Water-polo is a relatively “small” sport at the College as the game is not offered by any of our feeder primary schools and as such is somewhat unknown to our learners entering high school.

Water-polo is a fast, tactical game that demands good ball and swimming skills combined with high fitness levels. We play in the B-league, with practices on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons while matches are usually on a Friday

Fairbairn College is in a unique position, in that we are the only school in the Northern Suburbs to have our own Squash courts. The two courts are fully utilized throughout the week by male and female learners, with matches being played on Fridays.

We cater for all age groups and learners may choose to play squash from grade 8. At present we have five teams, two Girl and three Boy’s teams. The Boys practice on Mondays and Wednesdays while the Girls have the courts on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

At present we are part of the Central Suburbs league, playing against schools such as Milnerton, Table View, Cannons Creek and Pinelands.

At the moment, Fairbairn College has 3 rugby fields and 5 rugby teams. We currently have four age groups who participate and all of them play in the W.P. A2 league. Fairbairn College along with seven other schools also started our own Northern League where each age group competes for a trophy.

Every year we take part in different preseason and in season tournaments like Boland Landbou day, Brackenfell Sports day; Table View U/14 Day and Brackenfell Junior Festival. Every year we also try to go on a camp or tour with the teams. We are in the fortunate position to have at least two coaches for every age group which makes the coaching much easier and helps the learners achieve their full potential. We also have a store room various types of equipment to assist the coaches and make the practices even more fun and interesting.

At Fairbairn we take pride in our rugby and always work hard to become better but most importantly to enjoy ourselves.

First aid is the assistance given to any person suffering a sudden illness or injury, with care provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and/or promote recovery.

At Fairbairn College we are proud to have quite a number of keen learners actively expanding their knowledge and helping others. The learners within this society are given the opportunity to begin learning First Aid from grade 8 and with the help of trained professionals they are able to reach level 2.

We are very proud of our First Aid team. Our learners are always eager and willing to learn and develop their First Aid skills. Whether you are looking for a plaster or just feeling out of sorts one of our First Aid team volunteers will happily assist you with your needs.

So when you pass our College or are a guest of ours, you may just see one of our bright green tops in the distance, it’s our learners taking care of fellow learners, always caring, always willing.
