Sporting Achievements

Girls’ Hockey

Fort Streets Opens Girls Hockey team trained under the excellent Patrick Vastani (Y12 – 2009) in preparation for their CHS Knockout match.

They competed against an incredibly talented NBSC Freshwater team last week and did a brilliant job of maintaining their effort and enthusiasm despite the scoreline. Well done to all members of the team and a big thank you to Patrick for his efforts.

Volleyball

Fort Street had an incredibly successful 2019 season in both the Boys and Girls CHS Knockout competitions. Our girls did very well to make it to the 4th round where they came up against one of the competition favourites in Riverside Girls and bowed out of the tournament in a very tough match. Our boys won all their games comprehensively before coming up against a very talented Marsden High School team. Our boys raced to a 2-0 lead but were clawed back by Marsden who found their groove and ultimately won the match 3-2. Both of these teams train regularly and were an absolute pleasure to manage and watch play. Well done to all students involved, I hope you all continue to remain engaged with volleyball beyond your schooling careers.

A big thank you to the P&C for their ongoing support of sport at Fort Street. Pictured below are one of our year 7 sport groups and our 15s/Opens Girls Volleyball teams enjoying the first class equipment that was purchased and installed on the back of a grant from the P&C. Whilst being far superior and safer than previous equipment the new stock has also enabled groups to triple the number of students who can actively participate in volleyball activities at any one time.

Football

Our U15s Girls and Boys Football teams competed in the Bill Turner Trophy and Cup this year but were unsuccessful in qualifying for the second round.

Well done to both teams for their efforts in training and conduct whilst travelling and playing.
