Rowing Come Try Sessions
Time to try a new sport? Like an individual and team sport? Enjoy being around water? Rowing could be the sport for your child.
Rowing is a unique school team sport that is only offered in high school. Shalom has a strong rowing team and is looking for new recruits. Training is 2-3 times a week on the river at different times (generally juniors in the afternoon & seniors in the morning). There is also extra land training available after school at the gym and with the rowing machines. The team competes in 5-6 regattas a year with all the local regattas held at Bucca and some at Rockhampton. There is a yearly fee due to boats, facilities, maintenance and insurance. Shalom Rowing is a fun family orientated group that is involved in all aspects of rowing – coaching, fundraising, maintenance, cleaning etc. Rowing is an all over body workout that not only builds students physically but supports their mental, emotional and social growth and development.
If your child is interested in trying our oarsome sport, please sign on to one of our sessions using the link below. We will then hold a parent information evening on Tuesday 13 February 7pm in Loyola. We are also holding a rowing machine challenge in the school gym during the lunch breaks on Mondays and Wednesday in Week 2 & 3. There are prizes for the fastest junior boy and girl, and senior boy and girl.
Looking forward to seeing this oarsome team grow. Any questions or for more information don’t hesitate to contact us.
