Ferncourt is a great school. My son has been here for a year now. We are very happy.
Before he went to school, we did not teach him any words. But just half way during kindy year, he could read really really well. The other kids were similar. A lot of them were doing year 1 books by term 3.

The school offers a wide range of extra curricular activities. My son is doing fencing, violin and soccer at school.

My husband and I were amazed at the performances school organised, like Gala night etc. Tears in our eyes when watching our boy on stage.

We ask nothing more from school to help kids achieve academically, to offer them opportunities to explore arts, music and sports, and to inspire them with events and performances. Ferncourt has achieved all and more.

If you’re a privileged housewife who wishes they could afford private school, this is the school for you.

If you’re earning under 200k don’t bother as you and your children will be an outcast here. Especially if you’re a single mum! The cookie cutter housewives will look down their noses and won’t even bother hiding their opinion of you.

Best to avoid the toxic cloud of smug and go elsewhere.

My grand-daughter is a student here, and is very happy. Her teacher is very empathetic and interested in the children. Wonderful friendly atmosphere at the grandparents’ day. Very special.
oh yeh the chicken wings were so bad, all the teachers were like chickens they would fly to me, and miss salad would fly to me with her big eyelashes like gurlllll. for the sake of our kids DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!
Honestly I learnt NOTHING there. Students there are educated REALLY slowly and teachers don’t explain concepts well. You don’t learn basic mathematics until like grade 3/4. I’ve learnt more in 1 year of tutoring than in all my years at Ferncourt. Kids there form and are split into social groups according to popularity and there is a lot of gossip and little education. I only remember ONE teacher there that actually taught some pretty decent mathematics and all the others decided that to have control of the students was the best approach to their job. If you are looking for good schools, I recommend Woohllahra primary, Wilkons, or Earlwood. At least their kids get some decent education.
