Forbes High School SASS Appreciation Week: This week schools all around the state are celebrating their amazing SASS (School Administrative and Support Staff) staff. We might be biased, but at FHS we think we have the best SASS staff ever! Without our SASS staff, our school would not be the same. They work extremely hard and are loved by students and staff. 

Register Today For The TUFF Workshop: TUFF is a two-day workshop for farmers, fishers and rural blokes to take two days to relax, connect and reflect on what’s important. During the workshop participants will explore strategies and tools for: 

• Navigating life challenges. 

• Exploring work/life balance – identifying places for change and achievable actions. 

• Dealing with difficult situations and conflict. 

TUFF is brought to you by the NSW DPI who will cover accommodation, meals and activities during the workshop. The only cost will be travel to and from the venue.
