Dear Parents, Carers and Fortians,<\/p>\n
The first two weeks of Term 4, have been as usual a busy time at the Fort.
\nOn the first day of term, year 9 practised pitching tents and cooking food in preparation for their mandatory Duke of Edinburgh Camp. Despite the inclement weather for camping and hiking, students and staff returned to school on Friday after four days away full of energy, stories and enthusiasm for all they had done. I would like to extend my gratitude to Mr O\u2019Neill, Mr de Bres, Mr Prasad, Ms Arcamone and Ms Fentoullis for giving their time to enable such a worthwhile experience to be had.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday 16th October, Mr Morrison held a Year 11 HSC information evening for all current Year 11 into Year 12 students. If you were unable to make this evening please ensure that you have picked up a copy of the Year 12 assessment booklet from Mr Morrison.<\/p>\n
On Sunday 21st October the FSHS Chamber Choir performed with the Sydney Male Voice Choir at Petersham Town Hall.
\nThankfully the sun shone on Tuesday October 23rd for the Year 7 excursion to Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi and a great time was had by students and staff. The following day Year 8 Japanese students enjoyed a day at the Nihongo Tanken centre in Kirrawee with Mr Gillespie and Mr Backhouse.<\/p>\n
On Friday 26th October House Meetings were held for the election of House Captains.<\/p>\n
I had the pleasure of attending the Fortians Union annual dinner on Friday 19th October. Ashley Challinor \u2013 Yr 11 (SRC President) and Sunil Jassal \u2013 Yr 11 (SRC Vice President) impressed the audience with their speech describing life as a student at Fort Street High School in 2018.<\/p>\n
With one week done Year 12 have only two weeks left until all the HSC exams will be completed. I would like to thank students in Years 7-11 for observing the signs and keeping the areas around the Hall quiet and clear during this stressful time for Year 12.<\/p>\n
