Rowing is not offered as a social sport so all rowers need to be prepared to push themselves beyond their comfort zone every time they train and compete. While not all will be successful at a national level, we encourage all rowers to strive to be the best they can. To enjoy all aspects of QMC Rowing We encourage ‘fun, fitness and friendship’. It is hoped rowing at QMC will be enjoyed by all involved; students, parents, coaches, staff and supporters. There are a number of sporting opportunities at QMC and for rowing to be successful students must make it their top priority. To be all inclusive Rowing will only be a success at QMC if ‘a team’ approach is adopted. There are teams within teams throughout the framework of rowing. The main ‘teams’ consist of the rowers (regardless of crew selection), the parents, the coaches and the school. Members need to be supportive of others within their own ‘team’, and in other ‘teams’ for all other objectives to be reached. To be ambassadors of QMC Rowing is very much in the public eye. All rowers, parents and coaches will conduct themselves in a manner that is appropriate to the occasion at all times.

At the completion of the programme the girls must decide whether they wish to continue with rowing and the coaches will then consider their suitability and run trials if they deem this necessary.
