Dear Fortians, Parents and Carers,<\/p>\n
It has been a busy two weeks at the Fort with the school swimming carnival held at the new Ashfield Aquatic centre on Monday 15 a huge success, School Photos on Thursday 18, the SRC Rose Drive on Friday 19 and Speech Day on Monday 22. Speech Day 2021 was filmed by a former Fortian \u2013 Otto Khoo and once this has been edited it will be available for parents and students to access.
