SLAS Rowing information 2015

St Luke's Anglican School welcomes all rowers, parents and supporters to the 2015 Head of River season, in particular, those new to rowing.

THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN PRODUCED TO PROVIDE ST LUKE'S SCHOOL ROWING TEAM MEMBERS WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE CURRENT ROWING SEASON.

Rowing is offered to students as a Summer Inter-School sport with the support of our School, the Bundaberg Rowing Club, and VOLUNTEER coaches .

Our school is fortune to own a fleet of training and racing boats, and have access to club facilities (Burnett River and Bucca) throughout the school rowing season.

Parents play a major role in the success of school rowing. I recognise and thank parents for their efforts in getting their child/ children to training and regattas, encouraging our team to do its best, and for their support of the sport in general. Without the support of parents it would not be possible to offer such a unique sport as rowing to students as it relies heavily on team commitment, personal discipline and hard work.

With continued support at all levels it is hoped that school rowing will continue to be successful throughout and beyond 2015. 

Rowing is a sport that requires access to safe, reliable, and competitive equipment that must be regularly maintained and upgraded. The fees associated with BDSSS/ St Lukes are used to ensure the safety and comfort of all students when on the water. Additionally, fees cover the cost of maintenance of boats, tinnies and facilities, fuel, and Rowing Queensland registration/ insurance.

Club Membership, Fees and Medical Forms must be completed and returned to School. Rowers will not be permitted to go on the water or use boats/ facilities until these forms are returned.
