SRC

Hello!

We’re your newly elected SRC, and we’re so excited to work with all of you to make your next year  at Fort Street unforgettable. If you have any feedback or ideas for the school or just want to see how we’re working towards our upcoming events, we’d love to invite you to our open weekly SRC meetings held in the Flexible Learning Space on Monday lunchtimes. 

From events to improvements around the school, we’ve got plenty planned. Here is a quick look at what’s been happening and what’s coming up.

Our Mission

After taking a look at the 2025 Tell Them From Me Surveys we realised that Mental Health at our school is often overlooked. Thus, we have decided that throughout the next year our combined goal is improving Mental Health and Wellbeing, and we’re looking into: 

  • Raising awareness of the wellbeing resources available, such as counsellors.
  • Hosting wellbeing-focused events that encourage open conversations and promote mental health in a positive light.
  • Creating safe and fun spaces where students can connect, share, and feel supported by their peers.

SRC Camp

At the end of Term 3, SRC members of 2025/26 arrived at Collaroy Centre for our annual SRC camp. It was an awesome two days filled with planning, collaboration, and some very questionable team work activities (Just Dance was the fave). We came back energised, and ready to kick off the term with fresh ideas and events.

 

Valley Update

Construction has finally begun!! The valley is being flattened, and the gym equipment has been moved aside, which means there’s lots of opportunities to do something with this empty space. Currently, it is being transformed into a seating area, however it’s still in the works, and we’d love to hear from you. If you have any ideas or recommendations, make sure to tell an SRC member from your grade or just come to our meetings directly, you guys are always welcome 🙂

Halloween

Thanks everyone for your participation with Halloween! This was our first event, and we are glad everything went well with your help. This year we had our biggest turnout of ghouls and K-pop demon boy bands alike at our Halloween event on Friday October 31st. Congrats to our group winner Five Nights at Freddy’s, and individual category winners dressed as the Queen of Hearts, a dramatically splattered maiden and even a fully-motional Transformer! Props to the teachers too, who really got creative this spooky season. Thanks for helping us start the term on such a fun note, we look forward to your engagement with future events.

Staff Appreciation Day

Last year it was Teachers Appreciation Day, but this year we wanted to recognise all staff including the cleaners, office staff and wellbeing/learning support staff! On Friday 14th of November we held a Staff Morning Tea in the Fountain Quad, alongside a noticeboard which displayed heartfelt messages from students to staff. The event was well-received by all the teachers, who especially enjoyed the cheese platters!

Candy Cane Countdown

Over the course of week 8 and 9 we began selling Candy Canes. Students would receive a note with each purchase on which they could write a personalised message to one of their peers or to a teacher. These notes were tied to a candy cane and handed out on Friday of Week 9. The students were definitely feeling the festive cheer, and we fully sold out with 640 total sales. Thank you everyone for all your support, the funds raised will be dedicated to making the next year’s events even more spectacular than before.

Final Event of the Year – Annual Talent Quest!

To conclude the year we will be having our Annual Talent Quest this Friday 19th of December. With 25 acts lined up and ready to take the stage, this year’s showcase is shaping up to be one of the biggest and most diverse Talent Quests Fort Street has seen. This year’s lineup truly has something for everyone.  You can expect a mix of musical performances, from solo piano and violin pieces to full band acts with drums, guitars, and other instruments. There will also be singing across different genres and dance performances inspired by various pop cultures.

Talent Quest isn’t just about music and dance. There will also be comedy, drama, and creative video acts, including skits, stand-up comedy, illusion-based performances, and student–teacher collaborations. With performances from individuals, groups, and entire year levels, the event is a great showcase of the talent and confidence across our school community. We can’t wait to see the hall come alive with applause as we wrap up the year together. 

Coming Up: C&C Day

Next year is Clubs & Committees Day, where Years 7-12 can freely browse and see what the Fort has to offer! Clubs who want a stall can fill out this form here: https://forms.gle/Y3wziw64VVzDtxju8

We’re counting down the days to our next events and we wish everyone a great holiday.  Look forward to the great year ahead!
