A message from the new principal

I am delighted to have been appointed as Principal at Fort Street High School. It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know the staff and some of the students and parents over the past 3 weeks. I am looking forward to getting to know many more students throughout the term.
I would like to offer my sincere thanks to Karen Di Stefano for being such an outstanding leader and for her willingness to give so much time to me during my transition to the school. I would also like to thank the staff for their support, and in particular to the senior executive team Joel Morrison, Catriona Arcamone and Rebecca Cameron who have been extremely supportive and welcoming.

I have spent the last 15 years of my teaching career at Rose Bay Secondary College a partially selective co-educational public high school in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. I have also taught at Strathfield South High School, Carlingford High School and the Islington CEC a special education school in London. I am excited and looking forward to the incredible responsibility of leading Fort Street High School into the future.
I am committed to continuing the tradition of academic excellence at Fort Street High School and to ensuring that our school is a place where every student enjoys learning and is encouraged to reach their full potential. I will continue to foster an environment where intelligent young men and women can express their individuality and develop a strong sense of belonging and a commitment to social justice.

It will be a privilege to work with the wider community, parents, P&C, the Fort Street Foundation, the School Council and the Fortians Union to maintain the important traditions of the school and also to ensure that Fort Street High School is a leader in education.
