IMP Students Perform at the 2024 Schools Spectacular

Congratulations to all 30 IMP members who took part in the 41st Schools Spectacular “All 4 One” on 29-30 November 2024 at Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney Olympic Park, as part of a cast of 5000 talented students from public schools around the state. Fort Street was represented in the combined choir, core choir, dance, orchestra, and stage band.

The show was outstanding, and the Fort Street students were a credit to the school. The photo below shows 18 Fortians about to sing in Qudos Bank Arena.

If you missed out but would still like to watch this amazing performance, Schools Spectacular 2024 will be broadcast at 7pm on Saturday 14 December, on Channel 7, and will be available for streaming after that.
