Fencing is a year round sport with a long tradition. High has offered fencing as a sport since 1992. Fencing develops self-discipline, gross and fine motor skills, muscle coordination and powers of concentration. It is a team sport, relying on cooperation and support from members. Our dedicated team of fencers has been successful.

In 2010 our Under 15 team were State Champions in the School League. Since 1999 High has held at some time every State and National schoolboy title in the regular season of inter-school competitions. We have been the National School Team Champions three times and hold the Roberta Nutt Shield for teams fencing. Only students committed to the Saturday Competitions are trained in fencing each year by a professional coach and numbers are limited.
