House Relics Backstory Competition
Last term, Fort Street’s House Captains released a competition to reveal the backstory for Fort Street’s House Relics, the symbols that represent each House.
It was fantastic to see Fortians enthusiastically get involved in this competition, with 60 entries being submitted. Of these entries, a short list of the best stories for each House has been compiled. These will be revealed in each edition of this term’s Mercurius, with the winner announced at in the final edition.
Below is a quick synopsis of this edition’s short-listed stories. Use the link to read the full story and enjoy the House spirit shown by Fortians.
