Principal’s Report

To be perfectly honest the school year of 2020 ended with a great big sigh of relief.

Staff Farewells
Sadly, we have said farewell to nine staff members across the school on the last day of term.
Ms Erica Yu in the Mathematics Faculty had temporarily replaced Ms Ning Cui at the beginning of term 4, her contract has now come to an end.
Ms Meg Vierboom in the English Faculty joined the Fort halfway through the year and has been successful in gaining a permanent position at Randwick Boys High School, we wish her all the best in her new appointment.
Ms Rosa Brown in the English Faculty commenced at the start of the year and has been an outstanding fit at Fort Street. Ms Brown is expecting her second child in the new year and we would like to wish her all the best and hope to see her return to the Fort in the future.
Mr Martin Cox has been working in the English Faculty for the past ten years backfilling various members of staff either on maternity leave or working part-time as they returned from maternity leave. The Fort has farewelled Mr Cox on several occasions so whilst we do not have a temporary contract for him in 2020 no doubt, we will see him back in some capacity in the future.
Mr Mark Egan has been working on a temporary contract in the library one day a week for the past 8 years and we are sad that he will not be returning in this capacity. Hopefully, we will catch up with Mr Egan from time to time if he is able to come in on a casual relieving basis in the library.
Ms Rae Spratt in the CAPA Faculty has been teaching Drama for the past 2 years and has also finished up her contract at the Fort.
Mr Randev Uppal has been working as the Sports Coordinator for 3 years now and has improved sport at the Fort considerably over this time. Students and staff would like to wish Mr Uppal all the best in his future endeavours.
Mr Noah Melser from the English Faculty has also accepted a permanent appointment elsewhere and will be moving to East Hills Boys after 11 years at the Fort. Catriona Arcamone delivered the farewell speech for Mr Melser, this is just a short excerpt, “For 11 years the whimsy of Noah Melser has diverted students, confounded staff and bemused executive. At the same time students have been enraptured, staff enlightened, executive impressed. Into the very stable warp of Fort Street, the weft of Melser magic has been woven. Let us hope that it remains in the fabric of this wonderful school for some time to come.”
Ms Caroline Jerrems has been a teacher in the Social Science faculty at Fort Street for the past 15 years. Caroline has accepted a new appointment at Cammeraygal High School closer to her home. Caroline has built the Duke of Edinburgh program at Fort Street to be the biggest Public-School program in the State. Caroline also initiated the annual market day where Commerce students work in groups to run a business, she has contributed to the Cancer Council’s 7 Bridges walk, Legacy Days, organised the Smith Family’s Student 2 Student reading program as well as the Bread and Butter Project, Caroline’s enthusiasm and dedication to the Fort will be greatly missed.

In 2021 we will welcome several new staff to the Fort including:
Mr Ed McMahon who joins us from North Sydney Girls High School and will take up the permanent position as Head Teacher English.
Mr James Wright has accepted a permanent position in the English Faculty at the Fort and joins us from Sydney Girls High School
Ms Chi Truong will also join the English Faculty in a temporary capacity for the year coming from James Ruse Agricultural High School.
Mr Geoffrey Geha will join the Mathematics Faculty, Ms Flynn will continue to teach in the Technology Faculty, Ms Ryan will return part-time to the learning centre and Ms Ezekiel will be commencing in the role as sports coordinator.

Term 4 2020 SRC Report

Term 4 saw the election and induction of the 2020/2021 Student Representative Council (SRC), including the new Executive Team who will lead and guide the cohort. Due to extant COVID-19 restrictions, the induction ceremonies were conducted at grade level spanning over several weeks.

The 2020/21 SRC Executive Team

L-R: Veronica Kwong (Data Analyst), Barisha Tashnin (Publicity Officer), Daniel Holland (Secretary), Peter Tran (Vice-President), Audrey Truong (President), Ray Chen (Treasurer), Frankie Murphy (Secretary), Zhanhao Xu (Committee Liaison Officer)

The new SRC immediately began planning for events and initiatives to improve school spirit, morale and wellbeing. These events include the inaugural Halloween Mufti Day (Mercurius – 9 November 2020); annual SRC Talent Quest; and a joint Christmas Mufti Day with the Year 10 Charity Committee.

The annual SRC Talent Quest was held virtually on Monday 14 December. Staff and fellow students were invited to submit an act for judging by the school community. Contestants were requested to submit a pre-recorded performance online. This is in contrast to previous events whereby live performances were judged by a dedicated panel. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, a record number of entries were received covering a variety of performances. This year’s SRC Talent Quest has unearthed the hidden talents of numerous Fortians, with unique performances including musical instruments; skateboarding; rapping; and comedy to name a few. The SRC wishes to thank all participants for taking part in this fun and exciting event, and encourages participation from all students and staff alike next year!

The following participants are especially congratulated for winning the SRC Talent Quest and received a cash prize.
1st Place: Teach It! by Mr William Longfield (Teacher) and Mr Michael Galvin (Teacher)
2nd Place: Incredible Yoyo Performance by Hugh Phan (Year 7)
3rd Place: Modern Lion (Break) Dancing by Chelsea Hoang (Year 12) and Nathan Nguyen (Year 12)
4th Place: Parkour and Calisthenics Performance by Gavin Vong (Year 10)

Winning Acts from SRC Talent Quest 2020

(L-R) Top Row: 1st place, 2nd place; Bottom Row: 3rd place, 4th place

On Tuesday 15 December, Fortians were treated with a Christmas themed Mufti Day to raise funds and awareness for MS Australia, which supports patients with Multiple sclerosis (MS) – a condition of the central nervous system. This event was jointly organised with the Year 10 Charity Committee, who also hosted a Tetris competition on the day. The new SRC team hopes to work closely and collaborate with other clubs and committees at the Fort in the future.

Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Camp

On the 9th, 10th and 11th of December, all of Year 9 went on the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Expedition. There were two groups who went on the camp and stayed on different nights, with 9eng1 and 2 going for the 9th and 10th, and 9eng3,4 and 5 going on the 10th and 11th. The expedition was walking around the coasts of Sydney and sleeping at Cockatoo Island.

Day 1
On day one, we met at Circular Quay in First Fleet Park at 8.15 AM to catch the ferry to Manly. After we arrived at Manly, groups were released at 5-minute intervals from the wharf from 10-11 am. Our group was released at second last, and we slowly made our way up to Dobroyd Head lookout, and we arrived there at around 11.30. The walk was mainly flat and along the coast, so we could see all of Manly. There were lots of boats and swimmers in the sea. We also saw some lizards and turkeys along the trail since it was mainly in the bush. They were kind of hard to spot because they would blend in with the rocks. In fact, most of our group didn’t spot them! The weather was fine and sunny for most of the day, but the fast and strong winds were a bit hard to contend with especially near the beach where the sand was stirred up. The sand would go in our eyes and hit our skin, which made us move past those places pretty quickly! The next checkpoint was to Clontarf Reserve playground and for this checkpoint, we had to walk on the road, as there wasn’t a clear path along the coast. It was fun to see all the massive houses in the area. For some reason, they all had pebbles on their roofs which was strange.

After this, we walked to Spit West Park. This part of the walk was along the coast, with a small part on the highway. We then walked from Spit West Park to Rosherville Reserve Playground. This was the shortest section of the day, despite it being along the coast, it had a large hill which sped us down up as we entered and slowed us down as we left the reserve! Around this time, the sky began to cloud over but there was no sign of rain yet. We then walked from the reserve back up the hill to Balmoral beach playground. While there, we stopped for lunch, took a drink. It was a bit windy and the sand was blowing in our faces so we moved on to the next checkpoint. After this short break, we headed for Clifton Gardens playground. This stage of the walk was also along the coast and was very nice except for the climb, which was tiring! We were the first group to reach that checkpoint but were the last to leave as we stayed there to muck around in the park. It was really fun, especially when we all got on a giant see-saw! From Clifton Gardens playground, we made our way to Taronga Zoo wharf, where we took a ferry to Taronga Zoo and Cockatoo Island to end our long day. Luckily for us, the island had tents that were already set up for us. Unfortunately, our tent only had one mattress for two people so we had to take one from another tent! It was pretty fun staying at Cockatoo Island, especially when we began playing cricket/baseball. We had to make do with what we had and used chairs, a handball and water bottle to play. There were lots of seagulls at the Island which made it hard to sleep as they squawked through the night!

Day 2
The weather for Day 2 was forecasted to be sunnier and during the walk, there was actually a nice breeze. The trail for Day 2 consisted of local streets and bush trails, and they were mostly well-known walks. The track was mainly in the suburbs which was interesting as we got to see how a different area of Sydney looked. When we arrived at Watsons Bay we started our walk to South Head which was uphill. The lighthouse was very nice and there was a great view from that point of Watsons Bay. By the time we got back to the park, we decided to move faster to catch the early ferry. Most of the rest of the trip was a blur as we were rushing for the ferry!

A highlight was Shark Beach, which was quite beautiful. At one of the beaches we saw scuba divers who were preparing to dive! Another highlight was that the whole group was very supportive of us slower members of the group, encouraging us to go faster to catch the ferry. I was lagging at the back but Unai was encouraging me and Ibi to go faster. We got to the ferry with about 5 minutes left, and if we didn’t get there, none of the other groups would have been able to leave! The wind on the ferry on the way back was amazing because it was so strong! In fact, someone lost their hat on the way back. It was also fun to muck around during the breaks and walk around Cockatoo Island in the morning. The biggest highlight of all however was finishing the walk!

The camp was challenging both mentally and physically but was well worth the effort. It was very hard at some points, but reaching the end with friends made it all worthwhile! Challenges like which way to go, injuries and getting to places on time helped to build teamwork, resilience and confidence. I feel like I grew a lot through the experience and it brought me closer to my friends. I learnt lots of new skills like navigation, and feel much more confident in my overall knowledge of Sydney. I think the whole experience has helped me to become more independent, and able to work with others. The whole DoE experience was amazing, and I know many people including myself who can’t wait for Silver! A big thank you to Ms Jerrems who co-ordinated the Bronze Award and the Hike, which was no mean feat, especially to the restrictions in place from coronavirus. Another thank you to the Year 10 DoE leaders who helped us Year 9’s get ready for the hike and also helped us get ready for the whole award. I can’t wait for next year and Silver Duke of Edinburgh!

Silver Duke of Ed qualifying exbidition

Lane Cove Rotary War Memorial was where everyone gathered to start the hike off. We had our names marked off and the groups were dismissed in intervals of five minutes. Our route for the first day was a 17km trek along a mix of city streets combined with paths surrounded by shrubs and passing streams. We had lunch next to a stream where lots of people attempted to skip stones, a theme that would continue for the duration of the hike. When everyone had arrived and people had finished eating and getting in the way of cyclists, we started off again. The rest of the hike led us to the Baden Powell Scout Centre which would be our campsite. There was however, a casualty as Jayden was bitten by a spider and had to go to a hospital, fortunately he was alright and managed to continue the hike. The campsite was looking good, there was an amazing spot with plenty of space and soft, green grass to camp but much to the boys’ dismay, due to covid restrictions the group had to be split up. This forced the boys who arrived earliest to be sent to a lower part of the campsite which was rocky and sandy, leaving the girls and boys from a group that arrived later the good spot. Dinner was pretty normal, just your regular camp food except for Luke Miller who brought a steak and cooked it. He was charitable enough to share some with a few people and it tasted amazing. The rest of the night was uneventful and despite a spider in the bathroom scaring a few people nothing much happened.

The next day we gathered and set off for a long 22km, thankfully apart from a few ups and downs at the start and one really big hill at about the 9k mark it was pretty flat. It was just before the big hill that we stopped for lunch, next to another source of water where people once again attempted to skip rocks. After lunch, we tackled the hill which dropped us off next to a road, and the route continued. This road had a bus route which one group took due to losing 90 mins trying to get Ricky’s bag to Ms Jerrems and which other groups may or may not have taken. After moving off the road we followed a fire trail down to a stream which we followed as it widened until we reached the Crosslands campsite. The campsite had swings and a flying fox and was next to Berowra Creek so we were able to swim. The water was dirty and only up the knees at its deepest but it was nice to cool off after a long day. To entertain ourselves, the boys staged wrestling bouts, one on ones and two one twos where the objective was to get the opponent’s head under. The bouts were incredibly entertaining and fun and along with the playset made the camp quite fun and rewarding after the long hike. And, after the lack of a campfire on the practice we were rewarded and gifted a fire on this night as we roasted marshmallows before going to sleep.

The third day was scorching hot and to our relief the route was shortened from 14km with an 1100 meter ascent to 12km with a much smaller ascent. The route started by continuing along the river and through swampy marshes before we reach a massive 160 meter ascent straight up. Thankfully, due to the route changing this was the only major ascent we had to do and it was still cool, saving us from another four or more of these. After reaching the ascent, we moved another 200 meters down the road before dropping our bags and walking with just our water to Berowra Waters. Here we caught a ferry across the river to a cafe where many groups indulged themselves before heading back across and realising we weren’t meant to buy anything. We then walked back up to where our bags were then walked the rest of the route to the station where we finished Silver Duke of Ed qualifying.

On behalf of the Silver Duke of Edinburgh participants, we would like to thank Ms Jerrems, Ms Flynn and Mr Melser, who accompanied us on our journey and made it as fun and rewarding as possible.

A special thanks from all Duke of Edinburgh award participants, to Ms Jerrems, for organising everything for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Program. Without her, Duke of Ed would not be possible, and the success rate and participation would be nothing compared to what it is today. Her move to Cammeraygal High School is unfortunate for Fort Street’s Duke of Edinburgh program. We are extremely appreciative of all of her hard work and dedication to the program, but we wish her all the best.

Silver Duke Of Edinburgh’s Award Adventurous Journey

During the Term 3 2020 school holiday period, a contingent consisting of Fort Street High School (FSHS) students and Australian Air League Riverwood Squadron (AAL) cadets completed their Silver Duke Of Edinburgh’s Award Adventurous Journey (AJ).

I will preface this reflection by saying the AJ we embarked on was a unique event, in that it was independently planned and organised from both FSHS and AAL due to the extant NSW Government COVIDSafe restrictions. When I put my hand up to plan and organise this adventure, it was still unknown to me the amount of time and effort required to research and liaise between key stakeholders. This project took approximately eight weeks from conception and planning through to completion. Given the complexity in complying with specific requirements from various organisations namely, FSHS, AAL, NSW Health and Duke Of Edinburgh’s Award Office. That being said, I personally found the project very rewarding and enjoyable from start to finish. This project would not be possible without the tremendous support and guidance from my parents, FSHS teachers and AAL officers.

The goal of our AJ was to understand and appreciate the impact of the 2019/20 Currowan bushfire on local residents, natural environment and habitat, in the Southern Highlands region. After listening to local business owners, Rural Fire Service volunteers, and other local residents, a bigger picture began to formulate in my mind: it was not just a bushfire that damaged infrastructure and the environment, but rather a tragic incident which continues to affect people today who are lucky to be alive. This insight is very valuable to be me, and could not have been better understood and appreciated had I not embarked on this AJ.

Another observation of rural life in Wingello and Penrose is the importance of community and teamwork. All the bushfire survival and recovery stories which I heard, all included aspects of community and group work. This important aspect of daily life can be seen to be slightly forgotten in the busy, fast-paced urban lifestyle, where little community interaction exists. What I also find remarkable is that everybody says G’day whether driving, walking or riding, indicating the close-knit community. As we were hiking along the road, drivers always put up a raised hand, sometimes just a finger or two or even a nod. It seems a simple yet important way to connect with the community, something noticeably absent in Sydney.

Being an independently run camp, I invited some mates from the school and the Air League to partake in the AJ with me. The members from both organisations got along and bonded over the course of the AJ without any problem. By the time we said goodbye after the camp, everyone was looking forward to meeting up again and possibly completing the Gold program together. This is a testament of the camaraderie that was developed among us during the short time spent together over the AJ.

Any fellow students and cadets, who wish to embark on an individual-option AJ, I highly recommend it to you as you will find it an enriching, rewarding and challenging experience. You will also learn and develop your project/time management and team organisation skills as well as being able to see your efforts being realised. It is critical that you start your planning early and remain in frequent discussion/communication with the key stakeholders. This will ensure that their input and requirements have been adequately addressed. It is also important to have the end goal in mind to maintain motivation/momentum thus allowing you to achieve your objective sooner rather than later!

The success of this AJ can be attributed to the great support and guidance of many stakeholders. A big thank you to Mr Chris Bailey (AAL Riverwood Officer Commanding and Award Leader) and Mr David Harker (AAL Riverwood Officer, AJ Supervisor and Assessor) for his tremendous support and guidance throughout the whole project, especially with arranging the presenters. Your support is very much appreciated by the team. Further, the advice and support from Ms Caroline Jerrems (FSHS Award Leader) and Ms Tori Jenykn (FSHS DoE Gold Coordinator) throughout the journey is also highly appreciated.

The AJ ended successfully on a high and more importantly safely, marking the completion of my Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. I am currently planning a Gold AJ for 2021 for FSHS and AAL participants.

I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a safe holiday season.

Gold Duke of Edinburgh Adventurous Journey

For the Gold Duke of Edinburgh adventurous journey this year we originally had two trips planned, one to the Larapinta Trail in the Northern Territory and the other locally in New South Wales. Unfortunately; due to Covid-19, the interstate trip was cancelled and the practice journey occurred locally in the Royal National Park from the 13th to 15th of December this year.

The hike itself featured 3 days of hiking totalling 40km throughout the Royal National Park, covering rainforest, bush and coastline. The weather forecast; was in a word undesirable, with heavy rain and thunderstorms predicted for each of the 3 days. However, it thankfully held off for the most part, with rain only appearing on the 3rd day in the form of an overnight drizzle.

On the first day of our hike, we intended to catch a train from Central to Heathcote. However; due to track work, we were forced onto a replacement bus with our heavy rucksacks. Luckily the transport officials set us up with our own bus! Upon arriving at Heathcote, we had a chance for a quick toilet break where two of our hikers Carlo and Luca bought fishing rods from a junk store which never got to be used. We then set off on the Karloo Pools bush track and had a swim and game of water polo at the bush pool. We then continued onto Uloola Falls for lunch and followed a fire trail to Waterfall station and a nearby campsite where we camped overnight. Marshmallows, raw meat and sausages were cooked on the fire and we had warm showers making it a great night.

The next day we set off at 9:45 am in true lazy teenager fashion, rushed up a massive hill to Waterfall station, and caught our 10:16 am train to Otford where the coastal track to Bundeena started. Despite the days hike to our campsite at North Era only being 8km, we took our time with large rests and many demanding hills. To further add to the challenge, there was no drinkable water along the trail and so we had to carry two days worth of drinking and cooking water with us. The combination of heavy bags and difficult slopes unfortunately resulted in our teacher and a student breakdancing too hard down hill obtaining twisted ankles. We had to slow down for a bit and stopped where the cicadas were incredibly loud as we waited for everyone to meet up and adjust plans. With the groups rearranged, we all set off. After finally reaching the campsite, we went for a swim at the beach and made a group fire with minimal wood, had “lit” rap collabs about hiking and calculus, and held a ritual around the fire with a deer skull. Pro tip for everyone, bring a clip to block your nose if you ever end up using the toilets at North Era campsite and don’t look down the hole. Also did you know it was a student named Yash’s birthday that day?

The last day of our hike was by far the hardest with 18km to Bundeena and many challenging hills. We set off early at 8 am with the goal of making the 3pm ferry at Bundeena back to Cronulla. The day started off with a massive hill which led to Garie Beach at the other side of the headland where we took our first break of the day. We pushed on to Watamolla where we stopped for lunch and the rain subsided. After lunch we pulled together, admired the spectacular scenery and raced up hills in hopes of making the ferry. We eventually made it to the end of the trail at 2:40 with 20 minutes to walk to the ferry which we made with a few minutes to spare.

Despite tragedies such as Ms Jenkyn’s sprained ankle, Meg kindly regurgitating food for the bushes and some epic sunburns, moments such as the swim at North Era, the sunset on the second night and the group campfires made up for it all. Overall this trip was heaps of fun and all thirty of us are excited to complete our qualifying hike later next year.

7 Bridges Walk

On Friday December 11th, all of Year 8 participated in the 7 Bridges Walk.

The aim was to complete 4 laps of the Bay Run. Students walked, (and some ran!), at least two laps, many completing the 4 laps, which equals a very long 28km walk or run.

Year 8s didn’t just finish the walk quite tired – they asked family, friends and others in the Fort Street community to sponsor them by donating to their fundraising page!

Thanks to all our sponsors who contributed to the fantastic total of $5,928.50 which has been donated to the Cancer Council!

Year 10 Charity Committee

Year 10 Charity Committee was inspired by the personal story of a teacher to support MS Australia in 2020. The charity came together under the leadership of Mr Uppal and designed a Tetris competition fundraiser. The event included a virtual game of group tetris with gold coin donations for a Christmas themed mufti day. The charity committee organised gift card prizes and some 60 students signed up to the competition. It was fantastic to see students and staff of Fort Street High School in their festive outfits. The students raised $503 for MS Australia.  All funds raised will be donated to MS Australia to support the critical work of the charity in raising awareness of and extending services to those impacted by this health condition.

Sweet Lily’s Cafe Excursion

Once upon a Thursday, the two year 9 Commerce classes and the Business Studies classes went to Sweet Lily’s Cafe for the best excursion of the year – in fact the only excursion of the year!

Once we arrived we were given a talk by Lily about her business experiences. She talked about her failures and how she solved them. Then we made pizza which was delicious and we really enjoyed it. Year 9 had a great day. We thank Lily for sharing her stories and Ms Jerrems for organising it.
