Fort Fest 2026
Fort Fest on Friday 18 September was a great success, raising approximately $15,000 for the SRC and P&C to put towards key projects that will benefit our school community.
But the real success of Fort Fest was seeing the school community come together to make the evening happen! A huge thank you goes to every parent, student, teacher, family and community supporter who donated, volunteered, cooked, baked, bought tokens, entered the raffle or simply came along and enjoyed the night.
