FORT STREET SCHOOL BADGE, 1849, in silver plate (25x30mm), with lugs on reverse, features image of original school building on badge. Good very fine and rare.
In 1849 a Model School was established in Sydney by the NSW Government. It was in the grounds of the Military Hospital built by order of Governor Macquarie in 1815 on Observatory Hill close to the site of Fort Phillip and the military barracks. The name Fort Street comes from the name of a street that was partly incorporated in the school playground when the hospital was reconstructed. In 1916 Fort Street Boys' High School moved to Taverners Hill at Petersham and in 1975 The Fort Street Girls' High School also moved from Observatory Hill to the same site at Petersham. The original school building at Observatory Hill is now home to Fort Street Public School.
