Dear Fortians, Parents and Carers,<\/p>\n
We are looking forward to the upcoming Parent Teacher interviews<\/strong>. Year 7&10 will be held on Thursday 23 June and\u00a0 Year 8 & 9 will be held on Wednesday 29 June. These interviews will be a chance to discuss the Semester 1 reports which will be available to students and parents through the Sentral Parent Portal prior to the Parent Teacher interviews.<\/p>\n The SRC are also planning a very exciting School Spirit Week<\/strong> in Week 10 with lots of fun activities planned. The students will be able to enjoy food stalls, mufti days, games and so much more.<\/p>\n Good luck to all of our competitors taking part in the Zone Athletics Carnival<\/strong> on Tuesday and the Regional Cross Country<\/strong> on Thursday. We know you will do Fort Street proud.<\/p>\n The IMP mid year concert<\/strong> is also coming up next Friday and is a wonderful evening where students can showcase their talents and parents can enjoy a meal and meeting other parents. It’s an event not to be missed on Friday June 24.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Vinnies CEO Sleepout<\/strong><\/p>\n Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. But it doesn’t have to be that way. This year I’m taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise money for the St Vincent de Paul Society to support Australians in need. For one night, I’ll be sleeping outside as part of an eye-opening experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness. Later this year Fortians in year 8 will be participating in a connected curriculum two day and overnight experience on the school oval, I thought it important to be a role model to them for this inaugural program.<\/p>\n I would like to send my gratitude to the staff and families who have contributed so far to my fundraising effort. My goal was to reach $5000 in the next three weeks. At this stage we have raised $7,926<\/strong> which will go towards 25 individual Vinnies\u2019s support programs, 66 beds and 264 meals.<\/p>\n To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I need your support. Donating 50 dollars can make a huge difference to people who need it most.<\/p>\n Excitingly, Dollar Match Day is BACK AGAIN TOMORROW, and it\u2019s the last chance you have to DOUBLE your donations!<\/strong><\/p>\n Thanks to the Dick and Pip Smith Foundation, all donations up to $2,500 will be doubled (up to the matching cap of $50,000).<\/p>\n If you would like to help out and can afford to do so please visit my webpage:<\/p>\n
