This celebratory volume, specially written for the sesquicentenary of the public school with the longest continuous operation in Australia, is a grand journey of discovery.
Drawing on the rich archives of Fort street High School, the photographs, drawings and sketches reproduced in this book vividly reflect the School's history through 150 years. Maroon and silver are the original school colours and remain the symbols of the School. Under the title Maroon and Silver, the history of Fort Street is unfolded in an exciting series of vignettes covering the principal phases of the School's development over the years since 1849. Designed as a coffee-table volume, you will readily and joyfully be informed on any specific aspect of this world-renowned school you desire.
A sesquicentenary tribute.
