P & C
August General Meeting 13th August 2019
The August general meeting of the P&C was preceded by a presentation by Sharon Lam, Head Teacher Mathematics. Sharon gave a very interesting and informative talk about maths at Fort Street including the acceleration process, changes to the curriculum and assessment from NESA and a great video by Year 9 students solving the “murder” of Mr Scobell through mathematics. It was another great example of the creativity of students and also the actual fun that can be had with maths.
The major outcome from the August meeting was to clarify funds that we had promised the school and a cheque for around $162 000 was drawn by the P&C and given to Juliette McMurray – an exciting moment!

Fort Street P&C 2020
We are calling for expressions of interest for positions on the P&C for 2020. A number of our office bearers are leaving this year as their child at the school completes the HSC. We are inviting any and all parents who are interested to take this opportunity to have a guiding role in the P&C. We are in particular need of people with skills in communication and administration and/or who just really want to be involved. We also really want to encourage parents who may not want a role but would like to be a general member to come along to the next meeting and see what happens.
Second hand uniforms
A second hand uniform stall runs once each term before school in front of the office from 7.45-8.45 am, usually on the second Wednesday of each term.
Watch Mercurius, the P&C newsletter and the school calendar to confirm dates. This is a P&C run volunteer initiative to recycle school uniforms.
Please note that stock is limited and depends on what has been donated, so it is recommended to use the second hand uniform stall to obtain spare items only, after you have purchased your new uniform items from the Uniform Shop.
The second hand uniform stall is CASH ONLY. No refunds, condition as found, no returns, no change rooms.
If you have second hand uniforms to donate, please bring your clean washed donations to the school library front desk.
All proceeds go to the P&C.
