Fortunae Lessons

Fortunae is a 7-12 program we have developed this year which focuses on the self-empowerment aspects of the school’s motto and a more centralised focus on the exit profile assisting in building creative, curious, resilient, and academically capable Fortians from Year 7 to Year 12.

All year groups have been timetabled into Fortunae classes with approximately 16 students per teacher. These lessons take place about four times each term on a Friday. Fortunae lessons are linked to the school exit profile and aim to provide a range of focal points across year groups and stages, providing students and teachers with a greater sense of clarity than the previous wellbeing lessons.
