Penrith, Sydney’s hub for outdoor adventure and adrenaline-charged activities and the fitting home of the 2019 Aon Sydney International Rowing Regatta. This week-long regatta is a great celebration of athletic excellence, team work, camaraderie and leadership with the country’s top rowers competing in over 100 events. The SIRR is a significant event for Western Sydney. Since its inception in 2013 the event has attracted nearly 100,000 attendees from around Australia and the globe, generating tens of millions of dollars in overnight visitor expenditure for NSW. The NSW Government, through its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW, is proud to support this dynamic and much-loved event for 2019, and as recently announced again in 2020. Comprising a full competition schedule, the regatta welcomes athletes of all ages for the prestigious Australian Open Schools Rowing Championship, Australian Open Rowing Championships and more. In 2019, the esteemed King’s Cup celebrates its centenary – a wonderful milestone for the event and the sport too - and will be marked with a special breakfast during this year’s festivities. Penrith has hosted the regatta since its establishment and the local community embraces visiting competitors, officials, volunteers and supporters each year. Just an hour from Sydney’s CBD and a gateway to the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains, Penrith is the perfect place to begin exploring NSW. 4 ROWING AUSTRALIA ROWING AUSTRALIA COUNCIL Australian Capital Territory David Bagnall Rowing New South Wales Sarah Cook Rowing Queensland Emma Brown Rowing South Australia Greg Melbourne Rowing Tasmania James Gibson Rowing Victoria The Hon.

    Newsletter 8, December 2014 Mark Dempster, Mathematics From the Principal... Peter Splitek, Coordinator Science It is hard to believe that the 2014 school year is over. Reflecting back, I am extremely pleased with the achievements of our students. Our Year 8-11 Awards Ceremony highlighted our students’ incredible commitment to achieve outstanding results. It also highlighted how community minded our students are with a huge number winning awards for school service. While the year was coming to an end for senior students, Year 8 and 9 students continued working hard to prepare for their important end of year presentations. The Year 8 Show Case held in the George Cresswell Hall on Tuesday 9 December 2014 was extremely successful Rob Handley, Mathematics with over 90% of parents attending their child's presentation. Many parents commented on Daphne White, Home Economics what a wonderful experience it was for them to listen to their child discussing their learning and the highlights of their year. Similarly, the Year 9 Presentations were outstanding and displayed the huge array of challenging activities students participate in during the year. Every year our teachers work extremely hard to support students by delivering high quality learning experiences. In Week 7 this term, staff from all Learning Areas shared the work of their Professional Learning Team (PLT) with their colleages; what they have achieved and what their next steps will be in 2015. The PLTs further highlight our teachers’ commitment Karin Wichmann, LOTE Teacher John McKenzie, HASS Teacher to continue to learn together and find new and exciting ways to engage and support our students to achieve their absolute best.

    DECEMBER 2015 NEWS Above – Mercantile’s Open Women’s 8 on the way to a course record at the 2015 Head of the Yarra – photo Tristan Shipsides Mercantile members still dominate selection trial invitation list Published 20th December 2015 Rowing Australia has published the invitation list to the National Selection Regatta #2 and also the final Senior Selection Trials in February. Mercantile members comprise 17% of those participating, more than any other Club. Most of these members are from the women’s sweep and sculling group. Given the number of Mercs sweep rowers and that Australia has not qualified any women’s sweep crews, we hold our breath to see whether the women’s sweep group can show the selectors that they are Olympic finalist standard and worthy of attempting qualification. There were some great performances from our members in the first trials. Of particular note was Jen Cleary who took number two spot in women’s sculling. The Mercs members still in the squad are: Fiona Albert Sarah Banting Katrina Bateman Jennifer Cleary Madeline Cordner David Crawshay Addy Dunkley-Smith Josh Dunkley-Smith Josh Hooper Hannah Lewis John Linke Jess Morrison Sophie Sutherland Charlotte Sutherland Maddy Thomas Katrina Werry James Wilson Volunteers sought to tow boat trailer Published 6th December 2015 We seek volunteers to drive home the Club’s boat trailer from both the NSW Championships and National Championships. The Club will even fly you up and accommodate you. Please contact Jenny Fraumano on 0438 324370 or email her on [email protected].

The Club was soon enjoying the pleasures of peacetime rowing. In 1919 it celebrated its diamond jubilee year. A subcommittee was established to investigate extensions for the boatshed and funds were sought. Plans got underway to revive the intervarsity and intercollegiate races, the latter now including Newman College. To facilitate four crews racing in the intercollegiate race (Trinity, Ormond, Queen’s, Newman) it was necessary to chapter four have two heats with the winners racing off in a fi nal. For the 1919 college boat race, heats were rowed on 9 May with the fi nal taking place the next day. In addition to being the fi rst intercollegiate race in which Newman would participate, this race would be the fi rst where the newly instituted Mervyn Bournes Higgins Trophy was competed for. Ormond College beat Queen’s while Newman was too good for Trinity. In the fi nal, Ormond won Between the Wars the Mervyn Bournes Higgins trophy for the fi rst time by defeating Newman by two lengths in a spirited race.1 The fi rst postwar intervarsity race was held on the Parramatta River on Saturday, 31 August 1919. Adelaide and Queensland Universities found it impossible to send crews so soon after the War, so only Sydney and Melbourne competed: ‘The weather was spring like with a slight breeze from the S.
