20 klms from Inverell. Students attending the school are drawn from the surrounding
local area. The school community works in partnership with the Sapphire
Community of Schools. Students from GFPS have demonstrated outstanding success
in academic programs, sporting endeavours, creative and performing arts and are
well respected citizens of the wider Inverell community. The school community
takes pride in student achievements in all areas under the school motto,
