Fort Catholic Girls’ School hosted an inter‑school fancy drill competition on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the Police Barracks grounds in Visakhapatnam, as part of celebrations of its 175th anniversary.
The event featured five other schools: St. John’s Parish School, St. Aloysius Anglo‑Indian High School, St. Joseph’s High School (Waltair), Queen Mary’s High School and St. Joseph’s High School, Araku. Themes ranged from a Japanese fan drill to “Wings of Tomorrow” and an anti‑drug awareness sequence.
St. Joseph’s High School, Araku, took home the Overall Championship trophy and the Best Synchronisation award for its substance‑abuse presentation. St. Aloysius Anglo‑Indian High School and St. Joseph’s High School, Waltair, shared the Runners‑up Cup, while St. John’s Parish School finished third. The host school entered a non‑competing routine titled “Darkness to Light, Roots to Wings.”
Alumni members served as torchbearers during the ceremony, and Sr. Rose, former Provincial of St. Joseph of Annecy, Visakhapatnam Province, the guest of honour, distributed the prizes.
