ROWING
There was fantastic racing at the Roseville Regatta in Iron Cove over the weekend. Our team brought home two gold medals: one from the SG4x+ crew and another from Year 8’s Alannah Ng in the SG1x event. It was a terrific weekend with the whole squad competing, and there’s a real buzz in the air as we build towards Head of the River next weekend.
Maya McBrien (Year 10) shared: “On the weekend, students from Year 7 to Year 12 took part in the Roseville Regatta. Overall, it was a great success, with three first place finishes! The Year 10 quad faced a few challenges during our race, but we all dug deep and finished together as a team. This regatta has really motivated us as we head into Head of the River next weekend!”
