Head Teacher English - Fort Street High School

Fort Street High School is an academically selective, co-educational high school with a long history of providing education for gifted students. Located in Petersham in Sydney’s Inner West, our school has no designated intake boundary enrolling students from across Sydney and beyond based on academic selection. With an enrolment of approximately 920 students, our community is rich in cultural and linguistic diversity, with 75% of our students coming from a non-English speaking background.

At Fort Street, all senior students undertake the English Advanced course, with large numbers additionally choosing Extension 1 and Extension 2, fostering a rigorous and challenging academic environment. Our school’s mission is to prepare students not only to excel academically but also to become leaders across a wide range of career paths and active contributors to society with a strong social conscience.
