Speech Day 2021 was filmed by a former Fortian – Otto Khoo and once this has been edited it will be available for parents and students to access.

Canteen Update
Card Payments – an eftpos machine has been purchased for the canteen and very soon students and staff will be able to use cards to purchase items from the canteen.
Transition to BioPak – the school community has been asking for more environmentally sustainable packaging in the school canteen for a number of years now. I am happy to report that very soon our canteen will be transitioning most of its packaging to Biopak.
I would like to thank our school canteen provider Bon Appetite for working closely with the FSHS P&C and for generously donating $650 worth of canteen vouchers to support the Fort Street Raffle raising money for new sports equipment. Tickets are $5.00 each. To purchase your tickets please visit www.rafflelink.com.au/FSHS2021
