Fahan School is an independent, day and boarding school located in Sandy Bay, a suburb of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. It is a non-denominational school with a Christian ethos.
The School was established in 1935 by Isobel Travers and Audrey Morphett as Fahan Presbyterian Girls' College. The school was named after the County Donegal, Ireland township of Fahan. The school has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 383 students from Pre–Kindergarten (PK) to Year 12, including 40 boarders from years 5 to 12. Boys are enrolled from PK to Year 2, and girls from PK to Year 12.
Fahan School is a member of the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA), and the Association of Independent Schools' of Tasmania (AIST).
Fahan School is located on a single campus with grounds overlooking the River Derwent, in the suburb of Sandy Bay. Boarding students are accommodated in one of two houses. The Senior Boarding residence provides private accommodation and study facilities for Year 11 and 12 students. Boarders from Years 5 to 10 live in 'Nateby'. Both boarding houses are located within the school grounds.
The Fahan School has a number of sister schools around the world, Fintona (Melbourne), Jogghakan (Japan) and St Mary's (Africa). The school works closely with The Hutchins School in Sandy Bay, Tasmania - with senior students able to study across both campuses.
