Principal’s Message

Dear Parents, Carers and Fortians,

I would like to congratulate the Fortians who have been selected to represent their colleagues on the SRC for the remainder of 2018 and into 2019. In particular I would like to acknowledge our new SRC President Ameira Sant and Vice President, Bridget Gard. I have already been meeting on a regular basis with the new SRC executive who are enthusiastic and have many great ideas for delivering substantial projects to the student body next year.

We have come to the end of the HSC Exam period. I would like to congratulate all of our Year 12 Fortians for the manner in which they have conducted themselves during this stressful time and we wish them all a well-deserved break and look forward to celebrating their achievements with them when the results are released at the end of term.

The school will hold a Remembrance Day Assembly on Monday 12th November which will also combine as an SRC Induction presentation. FSHS Service medals were to be presented to Bill Lioutas (retired General Assistant) and Ros Moxham however both recipients are unable to make the assembly and have passed on their sincerest apologies. A service medal will however be presented to former parent Anne Wale for her service and contribution to the school community.

Congratulations:
Cristina Koprinski and Sam Ngyuen – Yr 10: selected to attend the Big Ideas Forum at Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). I look forward to hearing about the four days that they spent at ANSTO.

Stephen Simon and You Wei Chung – Yr 7: their mock company “New Horizons Inc” achieved 2nd place in the ASX Schools Sharemarket Game which is an extraordinary achievement considering this competition is usually undertaken by students in Years 9 and 10.
