Head of the River – Information

We wish our boarders the very best of luck as the Head of the River looms this weekend. The boats are full of boarders, and we all look forward to heading out to cheer them on. A full report will accompany the next issue.

Some details to consider are listed below:

1. Boarders will go separately on the first three buses from the front gate at 7.30am. Roll call will take place in boarding houses at 7.10 sharp. They do not need tickets and boarding Housemasters will supervise these boys and their buses.
2. It is compulsory for all Year 7 and 9 boys are to attend, although we encourage every boarder to be there to support our rowers. Those boarders staying in on Friday night must attend the rowing; exeats will only be granted by Housemasters for exceptional circumstances.
3. All boys must wear yard hats, take water and sunscreen. Saturday is tipped to be 30 degrees, and last year we had at least one fainting case, so it’s very important that boys are well-prepared.
