Home - Fort Street High School

Welcome to our school

Since 1849, Fortians have been encouraged to be the makers of their own destiny, supported by our motto, faber est suae quisque fortunae. This motto underpins the values and expectations of the school. The school exit profile articulates the vision for student achievement. Successful Fortians:

achieve academic and creative excellence
develop skills and talents across a broad range of areas
become reflective and independent learners responsible for their own growth
develop emotional resilience, self-confidence and the ability to collaborate and communicate effectively
develop a commitment to fairness and equity, and a recognition of their responsibility to the wider community and a strong sense of social justice.

The Fort Street community believes that every student and teacher should be challenged to learn and continually improve in a respectful, inclusive, engaging and high expectation environment.

World's Greatest Shave

Date: 17 May
Time: All day
Location: Fort Street High School

As part of Fort Street's annual tradition, the Year 12 Charity Committee is hosting the World’s Greatest Shave. All funds raised will support blood cancer research and hair donated will be made into wigs for cancer patients. Get involved in this charity initiative by committing to cut, colour or shave their hair and finding sponsors to fundraise towards the target. Sign up to the team page here. Additionally, we would love to see some support from the FSHS community. You can donate to our team page here. Thank you for helping us reach our goal. Year 12 Charity Committee
