ROWING
The Rowing boys are working hard and 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 new training room is looking great.
It is still not too late if your son is thinking of rowing. They can visit the new training room (old Art Room), after school on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s and have a chat to Mr Dale Maher, the Head Coach.
