Fort Street Swimming Carnival 2023
The annual FSHS Swimming Carnival was held at Ashfield Swimming Pool on Thursday 2nd February. With beautiful weather, students dressed-up in their House colours and plenty of enthusiasm, all the ingredients were present for a great day.
The students should be commended on their excellent behaviour, participation and spirit throughout the day. It was far and away the best Swimming Carnival in recent memory, with many, many positive things happening. The biggest highlight came towards the end of the carnival, during the relay races. Each Houses put their best teams in the pool and supporters from each House lined the pool deck to cheer them on.
