Please notify the Librarian of any continuing web problems; or of any other issues 2. The Fortian year in Column 3 (e.g. “Fortian 1970”) is the “graduation” year of the Fortian in question, i.e. the final school year in which he or she undertook the matriculation examination of the time (see note 3). If the Fortian in question left Fort Street before that year, all the years of his or her attendance at the school are shown together with the school where they completed their secondary education, if applicable / available 3. LC (Leaving Certificate) set by Board of Examiners, was first held 1913, replacing the Senior Public exam set by Sydney Uni; HSC (Higher School Certificate) replaced the LC in 1967; the first IC (Intermediate Certificate) was held in 1912; see: NSW Dept.Education website: NSW Education History-examinations 4. The practice of publishing an order-of-merit list of the Top 100 (or 200, from 1961) students in the state in the LC, was discontinued with the last LC examination in 1965.
