Rowing Foundation Program Success

During Term 1 and Term 4, Sydney Catholic Schools offer a 5 week Rowing Foundation Program.

Bianca McKenzie (Year 10) is one student who took the opportunity to partake in this program and she recently competed in the NSW Schoolgirls Rowing Head of the River Competition which was held at Sydney International Regatta Centre in Penrith on On Sunday 3 March. Bianca is St Ursula’s first student to have ever competed in this event!

Here is her reflection of the day:

“I had an awesome time at the NSW Schoolgirl Head of the River. It was my first time at such a big event, and girls from all over the country showed up to compete. There were hundred of girls there, cheering for their schools.
I raced in the Year 10 single scull for St Ursula’s, and let me tell you, it was tough. The weather was scorching and the 2-kilometre race felt really hard, but halfway through, I glanced back and saw that I was ahead of three other girls, which gave me a boost.
In the end, I came fifth in my heat, setting a new personal best. Right after the race, I rushed to check my time and was thrilled with the result.”
