Creative arts

Creative arts is mandatory for students from Kindergarten to Year 6.

In creative arts, students discover a variety of art forms through a study of dance, drama, music and visual arts where they learn to appreciate, compose, listen, make and perform.

Each art form has its own unique knowledge and skills, elements or concepts as well as a capacity to inspire and enrich lives.

Fort Street Public School students are fortunate to have access to a wide range of extracurricular activities.

Library

Across two levels, the Fort Street Public School Library contains a wide range of resources for student research, learning and reading enjoyment.

In the library, students are taught how to choose, locate and borrow books for research and home reading.

Fort Street Public School encourages all students to participate in the NSW Premier's Reading Challenge every year. The Challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure and pleasure in students and to enable them to experience quality literature. It is not a competition, but rather a personal challenge for each student to read, to read more, and to read more widely.

The Librarian at Fort Street assists students to participate in this challenge each year, stay on track and record their reading each week.

Resources and technology

Our school uses modern technology and digital learning tools. Our resources help students learn, create and stay connected. As a NSW public school, we have access to shared programs and tools available to all schools in the state.

In science and technology, students explore the natural and made worlds. They learn how to apply scientific and technological skills, knowledge and understanding across a broad range of contexts.

Science provides a way of inquiring about the world around us. It explores evidence and investigates ways to discover, develop and produce solutions to real world problems. The inquiry and skill-based nature of science opens doors to ideas and discoveries.

Fort Street has dedicated STEAM spaces for students to enjoy hands-on Science lessons, with opportunities for researching, designing, creating and testing ideas.

The school is well-resourced with technology, including laptops and iPads. Class sets of Beebots, Spheros and Lego Mindstorms are used to develop early coding skills.
