Rowing Information Evening

Mon, 01 Sep 2025

schedule 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm place Staffroom

The Glendowie College Rowing Programme is starting soon for the 2025/26 season. If you are a returning rower and have been through our ‘Learn to Row’ programme or are none of the above but are still interested in finding out more and maybe giving rowing a go, you are welcome to come along on Monday 1 September at 7pm in the Staffroom to hear more about how we run our programme and the benefits of joining. Parents and students are welcome. 

Our Head Coach, Josh Everitt, along with our awesome on-water coaches and our S&C expert, Joel Wiggins, are excited to get the season started. 

  • You must be a confident swimmer to join as a rower or coxswain (you will be tested). 
  • It is not a problem if you did not participate in the ‘Learn to Row’ programme, we have had lots of students join that have never rowed before.
  • If you did the ‘Learn to Row’ programme and are still unsure about joining or didn't do the ‘Learn to Row’ programme and just want to try rowing out before committing, ask about our extended ‘Learn to Row’ Spring Camp option.

If you have any questions, please contact Andrea McComish, Director of Rowing, on dor@gdc.school.nz.
