The school was officially established on 1 September 1849, when the conversion of the building was approved by the government.

 Elite school begs for funds - theage.com.au
Monday 2 June 2003, 10:05 AM An elite but cash-strapped selective public high school in Sydney has reportedly asked parents of students to contribute $1,000 each to pay for urgently needed facilities.
The Daily Telegraph reported that Fort Street High School, in Sydney's inner west, was forced to turn to parents as a result of a $1-million capital-funding shortfall.
A spokesman for the Federation of Parents and Citizens Associations, David Giblin, said he was surprised by the size of the contribution the school had been forced to seek from parents.

 Past pupil's success is a lesson in tolerance - smh.com.au
In postwar Sydney, John Yu revelled in the freedom offered by Fort Street High School, which allowed a small Chinese-born student who was "bloody awful at football" to go swimming instead.
Dr Yu said he understood the concerns of some former students from Sydney Boys High who want selection criteria changed to allow their sons and grandsons easier access to the school - provided they made the academic cut - to preserve sporting traditions and the Great Public Schools ethos.
Fort Street - the oldest selective high school in Australia, established in 1849 at Observatory Hill - lists among its former students High Court judge Michael Kirby, artist Margaret Preston, former High Court Chief Justice Sir Garfield Barwick, Labor Premier Neville Wran, and Australia's first prime minister, Edmund Barton.

A few months ago a group of friends at Fort Street High School were painting a banner and talking, they decided to convince their fellow students of the injustice of government policy towards refugees and to mobilise them to change it.
I think that high school students are mature enough to be able to make up their own minds on political, social and ethical issues.
High school campaigning is part of a broader refugees' rights movement of course, but when young people mobilise, it's usually over something which is quite important.
