Description:
Fitzroy Community School was founded in 1976 by Philip O'Carroll and Faye Berryman, and operates in Brunswick Street North Fitzroy, in three terrace houses (595-599), opposite the Edinburgh Gardens.

As well as following a normal academic curriculum, FCS provides many outings, camps, concerts and other outdoor activities. The school was founded to ensure that children develop confidence and communication skills.

The roll is kept to about 55 children, so that everybody knows everybody, and the school enjoys a community spirit. There is a personal atmosphere, rather than an institutional one. The classes are small and the curriculum is broad.

FCS is an independent, alternative primary school. It has its own unique style of operation. It has a relaxed atmosphere and good outcomes at the same time. Children are keen on learning and keen on coming to school. Some years we have no turnover of families at all.

Prospective parents are welcome to come and have a casual look through the school at almost any time. Simply phone to make a mutually convenient time.

If you like what you see, make an appointment for a sit-down chat at which we can explain the details to you.
