You can download here: https://www.stpauls.school.nz/page/rowIng-at-st-pauls-collegiate-school RowIng Is a unique high Intensity sport whIch demands high degrees of endurance, strength, teamwork, technical expertise, mental toughness, and an abIlIty to contInue on when your body Is tellIng you that you can't. RowIng races (a regatta), held in sleek narrow boats on the water, in changing water and wInd conditions, are held over a distance of 2000 meters. All these challenging factors mean that the rowers work together and support each other. WhIle It Is Important that the rowers enjoy theIr rowing experIence, we also expect them to work hard, be committed and have a good attItude towards each other. For parents, the sport of rowIng Is also quite demanding, but can be extremely fulfIllIng. You can expect to be a taxi driver, help out at events, assist In fundraising, but mostly hear constantly about your child’s rowIng progress, technique and erg scores. Further, the demands of rowing provide healthy challenges to your son/daughter, so they may need some guIdance to become self-relIant In an Intense sporting environment. As a parent you wIll also become a member of a much larger famIly and develop new frIendshIps wIth other parents…and have heaps of fun also! Our Coaching team bring wIth them extensive rowIng experience and coaching credentials. This team Is coupled wIth a proven governance framework delIvered through a strong partnership between the School and the Club. We look forward to have you all on board for another enjoyable and successful season.
