Fairhills High School, located in Knoxfield, Victoria, Australia, is a state-government school. The school's mission is "leading all students to be confident and effective life-long learners."

Fairhills, as a medium-size school, tries to focus on the individual student.

Fairhills has recently received a technology grant from the government, which was used to install 16 40" LCD screens in various classrooms around the school. This allows the integration of multimedia into everyday lessons.

Construction of a basketball stadium for the school and wider community has been confirmed and will commence soon. Longer term plans for conversion of existing sporting facilities into a performing arts centre also exist.

Fairhills also recently brought in the SEAL program (Select Entry Accelerated Learning) which focuses on letting students who work faster than normal, work at their speed.
