The sense of accomplishment that comes from participating in rowing is invaluable and helps shape students into well-rounded individuals.
The rowing journey at John XXIII College begins in Year 7, where all students have an opportunity to experience rowing in their Physical Education classes. This six-week programme allows students to develop their understanding of rowing, water safety, and the physical attributes required for the sport. Year 8 students can further their skills and knowledge by enrolling in a Term 3 programme, where they have the chance to row as a crew and participate in a House Regatta.
For students in Years 9-12, official training for both girls and boys recommences in Term 4, providing rowers with ample preparation for the upcoming season. Parents are also encouraged to get involved with the club's activities and become an integral part of their child's rowing journey. By joining the John XXIII Rowing Club, parents have the opportunity to witness their child grow into a strong, fit, and confident individual, while also becoming part of a supportive community of like-minded parents.
