Fort Street Public School: A historical transformation unveiled
Fort Steet Public School will reopen on Day 1 Term 1 with a remarkable transformation blending the old with the new.
We are temporarily changing some of the ways in which we keep you informed about our projects to account for social distancing measures and to limit the impact of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on our schools and communities. In place of community information sessions, we invite you to view information in the ‘Library' tab. You can also speak with our team members over the phone or via email.
