Our Grounds
Fairhall School’s grounds have many large trees for shade, and edible and native gardens have been established with the close involvement of students and families. Our large playing fields and netball and tennis courts are used extensively during school time and at lunchtime for a variety of sports and games. A junior playground as well as a more senior adventure playground are available for the use of students and adventurers outside of school hours. There is a car park along the southern boundary of the school.
Library
The library is open during lunch and break times as well as for information literacy classes. It boasts an extensive range of fiction and non-fiction books and resources for a wide range of ages, abilities and interests. Next to the library is a well-used teacher resource and resource management area. This becomes a working space for all staff to prepare and repair resources for use across the school.

Edible Garden
Planted, weeded and maintained by the whole school, the edible garden provides not only food for the students but is a much-treasured tool for learning. The school runs an edible gardens programme that is supported by the Marlborough District Council and enables the school to employ an Edible Gardens Facilitator.
