ROWING

The Rowing boys are working hard and they now have a permanent base at the College which is the old Art Room. Thanks to all the parents that helped out with the working bee - the room is looking really good.

It is still not too late if your son is thinking of rowing. They can pop in to the old Art / new Rowing Room after school on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s and have a chat to Dale Maher, the Head Coach.
