Season

Training commences in Week One of Term Two. There are limited opportunities in Term One for new rowers to attend ‘Learn to Row’ sessions. The venue and times for the ‘Learn to Row’ sessions will be available through the Student Bulletin. During the Holidays between Term Two and Three, all rowers are encouraged to attend the Rowing Camp. In Term Three there are five lead-up Regatta’s the majority of which are on the Sunshine Coast, at Lake Kawana. The season concludes with the BSRA Head of the River Regatta in late August at Lake Kawana.

Fees

Rowing at St Margaret’s is not fee free and all rowers will be charged a levy for the 18 week season.

Full details are available at the commencement of the season.
