UWS Kirby Cup

In the final weeks of online learning, two teams of Fort Street students came together to represent the school in the UWS law moot “Kirby Cup” competition. As the competition is named in honour of our esteemed Fortian former Justice of the High Court Michael Kirby, it was paramount that we give our best to the competition. Team Fort Street 1 comprising of Jade Do, Vivian Le, Hannah Liao and Ethan Nguyen in year 11 worked exceptionally hard on preparation for the competition despite the challenges of working from home. The team showed expert knowledge of the mooting materials and made it to the final 8 round of the competition.  Team Fort Street 2 comprising of Audrey Truong, Andy Chen, Daniel Holland and Peter Tran in year 11 advanced to the top two in the preliminary round. The students had limited time to prepare for the moot and showed astounding effort and commitment. We congratulate Audrey, Andy, Daniel and Peter on reaching the semi-finals to be held on Friday 8 November. What an incredible effort on their second day of return to face to face learning! Semi-finalists were also awarded conditional law degree offers from UWS and the opportunity for feedback and mentoring from UWS lecturers during the competition. We hope to see more Fortians participate in mooting in the future. With thanks to Mr O’Neill and Ms Xu for supervising students during the competition.
