Thank You to FSHS Staff (End of Year Gift)

The GroupTogether collection has now closed.

Families raised more than $7500 to say a big ‘Thank you’ to the teachers and staff at Fort Street High School!

 The card with messages of appreciation is being sent to all the staff to read and they will be enjoying a well-deserved celebratory meal together.

Many thanks,
