Our Motto
Our motto is "multum non multa", Quality not Quantity. We are a small school but we are proud of what we offer and as a school community, we stand by our core values of Respect, Responsibility, Doing our Best and Honesty.

Mission Statement 
Our Mission Statement is "Education for a better quality of life". We believe that while good grades and good reports are important to the future, life is more than a career. We promote cultural, sporting and personal development as part of our education.

Our Mission

  • Develop school practices which will encourage self-discipline, a sense of right and wrong and respect for one another.
  • Develop good student/teacher relationships, develop rules, rewards and punishments which will help all students to learn.
  • Take part in the process of further developing and promoting student welfare and effective learning.

 
At Forbes High School, we will:

  • Provide a safe environment so that effective learning can take place.
  • Promote high standards in learning, attendance, punctuality and appearance.
  • Promote a commitment to lifelong learning
  • Promote national pride.
  • Provide strong leadership for staff, students and parents.
  • Create positive relationships from within the school community.
  • Encourage students to use self-discipline and understand the consequences of their actions.
  • Encourage a feeling of belonging at Forbes High School.
  • Create a good school tone with students behaving responsibly.
  • Encourage students to value themselves, their achievements and others.
  • Teach students about the rules and laws of our society.
