A message from our principal
Welcome to Royal Far West School (RFWS), a NSW public school proudly dedicated to supporting country students from rural and remote areas across New South Wales.
RFWS is deeply committed to creating a safe, supportive, and strength-based environment where students feel valued and empowered. The school’s unique weekly rhythm begins each Monday with orientation for families travelling from across NSW, fostering strong connections that enhance student wellbeing and engagement.
Our exceptional staff teach not just from the book, but from the heart. Their dedication and compassion create a nurturing and supportive environment where students can thrive. Together, we strive to provide rural and remote children with the specialist support essential to their growth and to positively influence their health, learning, and wellbeing.
I am incredibly proud to lead such a hardworking and passionate team and look forward to welcoming students and families to Royal Far West School.
