Water Polo

Fort Street High School will hold weekly water polo training sessions at Leichhardt Park Aquatic Centre from 7:00am to 8:00am. Boys will train on Tuesdays supervised by Mr Semaan, and girls on Thursdays supervised by Ms Wilkins. Training sessions will commence in Term 2 Week 1 and continue throughout the year.

Students must pay an entry fee for the venue each week, as well as a $100 levy to cover the cost of pool hire. The levy will be invoiced each term. Transportation to and from the venue will not be organised or supervised by the school.

These weekly training sessions benefit Fortians by improving cardiovascular health and overall physical strength. The psychosocial benefits of a team sport are also valuable. Playing water polo is a fantastic way for Fortians to develop social skills including teamwork, communication and strategic thinking. Water polo is a great way for Fortians to achieve aspects of the Fort Street exit profile, including:
developed individual skills and talents across a variety of areas – developed emotional resilience, self-reliance, interpersonal skills, the capacity to connect to others and leadership potential.
