\u00a0<\/span>Sydney North Swimming Carnival<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This week, a group of 19 dedicated Fortians proudly represented the school and the Northern zone at the Sydney North Swimming carnival. Among them, Fort Street emerged as a standout performer, securing an impressive 8th place finish out of 45 schools. Six talented Fortians have been selected to represent Sydney North at the upcoming NSW CHS carnival, scheduled to take place at Homebush early next term. Congratulations to <\/span>Terence Kang, Alessandro Elemento, Horation Zhang, Antony Walczak, Brenda Fu,<\/span><\/b> and <\/span>Xixi He<\/span><\/b>. As they prepare to compete, we extend our best wishes for success in their chosen events.

His achievement stands as a testament to his hard work and dedication.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Neurodiversity Celebration Week<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week, our school joined in Neurodiversity Celebration Week for the first time, marking a new initiative. This global event is dedicated to challenging stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. <\/span>Sofie Andersen<\/span><\/b>, of Year 12, delivered an informative address at assembly, highlighting some of the experiences, strengths, and challenges of the neurodiverse, advocating for a greater understanding and acceptance of individuals with different neurological conditions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>I want to extend my gratitude to <\/span>Ms. Dooley<\/span><\/b> and the Diversity Committee for their dedicated efforts in bringing this initiative to The Fort and organising a week filled with engaging activities. I strongly encouraged all Fortians to actively participate; it provided a valuable opportunity to learn about and celebrate the diverse talents and differences within our community. Activities throughout the week included zine and fidget bracelet making. Several of our courageous students shared information about various topics, some bravely sharing personal stories. Additionally, students showed their support by wearing sunglasses and yellow accessories and raising funds for the Ladybug Foundation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>I would like to wish all Fortians and their families a happy and safe Easter break! <\/span>\ud83d\udc30\ud83c\udf37<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
