History
Frenchs Forest Public School was first opened for student enrolment in September 1916. In that inaugural year the school consisted of one brick classroom, (unfortunately demolished in 1968) one teacher (Mr George Hewitt) and 32 students from K-6.
The original school building was situated in a corner of the present school site- at the intersection of two dusty, dirt tracks, now Warringah Road and Forest Way. Most of Frenchs Forest in those early school years was native bush with little habitation or commerce. Orchards, dairy farms, timber mills and piggeries were scattered throughout the area.
Frenchs Forest Public School was the first to be established in the area and is proud of the title, 'First in the Forest’.
