Forrester High School

Welcome to Forrester High School’s website. We hope you find the site informative and a useful tool for keeping in touch with happenings in the school.

The site is your guide to our school and to our vision for our school community…..

Forrester High School will strive to ensure that all young people have access to tailored learning pathways that meet the needs of all our learners. We will work closely to ensure our learners know how to progress their learning. This will enable them to gain the skills, experiences and qualifications they need to achieve a successful, positive and sustained destination on leaving school.
