SRC Report
Hi Fort Street!
Clubs and Committees Day, in the first week of school, was a huge success! Thank you to Oliver Gongora (Committee Liaison) and Lucie Atkin Bolton (Secretary) for planning this major school event. We hope everyone has met people with similar interests and that everyone has joined a new club or committee this year!
You can find the Clubs and Committees Handbook here.
The Rose Drive is one of the biggest events of the year and our 2023 event was a major success! School spirit was raised as over a thousand roses and chocolates gift bags were handed out with love from our fellow SRC members.
The International Womens’ Day BBQ was an amazing opportunity to raise awareness of the difficulties that women still face in their lives. The SRC Publicity Team created a video for International Womens’ Day which you can view here. The SRC and the Amnesty Committee collaborated to raise money for women locally and internationally. Profits from the IWD BBQ contributed to the $793.00 that the SRC were able to donate to UN Women, and Amnesty were able to donate around $200 to the Bayside Women’s Shelter from collecting gold coin donations.
The SRC Executive held a Prefect Afternoon Tea on 7th March in our school hall, welcoming 68 students from 26 schools across Sydney to socialise, play fun games, and share ideas. SRC Executives worked together with Year 10 SRC and House Captains to run an amazing program, resulting in a successful night. We hope that all guests were able to take away something from the night because Fort Street definitely did!
The SRC are currently organising a Future Leaders Conference, with the theme “Reclaim Our Future” which will take place on Friday 26 May (Term 2, Week 5). We have invited a diverse range of outstanding leaders to provide their insight at our conference, including the Honourable Michael Kirby AC CMG and Zoe Robinson (NSW Advocate for Children and Young People). We will also welcome student leaders from neighbouring and greater Sydney schools to attend on the day.
The SRC and House Captains have united to organise Easter events at the end of Term 1. Currently, there is the annual Easter Egg Hunt planned, so harness your competitive spirit for some egg hunting!
Keep looking out for updates on the SRC Instagram, announcements over the loudspeakers, and posters around the school!
The SRC always invites your suggestions and feedback for events, and we encourage everyone to contact us with any student concerns! You can contact us via the SRC email, srcfshs@gmail.com, Instagram: @fshssrc, or approach any of your friendly SRC members.
Have a wonderful day!
