Fort Street Cross Country Carnival 2023
The annual FSHS Cross Country Carnival was held at HJ Mahoney Park in Marrickville last week. The whole school took part in what was another very successful carnival!
The weather on the day was beautiful and the course was a treat for runners, as it winded around the picturesque parklands surrounding the Cooks River. Participation in the event was excellent, with 321 students running the course (possibly a school record) and scores of students participating in Novelty House Events. There was a very positive and happy atmosphere at the park, with students spread out on picnics rugs cheering their Housemates on.
The ’House Spirit’ award for the carnival went to Mawson, for their unity as a House and their bright colours and signs. Stay tuned for the announcement of the overall House Placings at the next school assembly.
The top 10 students at each age group will go on to represent Fort Street at the Zone Cross Country on Monday 22nd May. The following students performed particularly well and were the Age Group Champions on the day:
