Rowing - South Queensland Nominations


Could all rowers that are planning to row at the South Queensland Championship at Kawana please get their registration with the money in an envelope into the red box at the rowing club. Also once this is done, could you please email which crews you have nominated to me at 20151340@slasmail.com. It is important that this is done early so that applications can be sent to the boat committee in plenty of time for approval. I also need to know so I can determine which trailer needs to be used and how it will get there.

Rowing Captains with all the Rowing trophies...that the team won....at The 2015 BUNDABERG RADIOLOGY HEAD OF THE RIVER


On Sunday the 14 June, rowers took to the water for the annual Bundaberg Radiology Head of the River regatta. They had been training very hard, up to 6 times a week on and off the water leading up to the regatta. There was much competition between all 6 schools with the point tally even between St Luke’s and rivals Shalom going into the last few races of the day. There were many individual trophies won by students from St Luke’s including the Year 10 girls’ and boys’ singles as well as the Year 12 girls and boys singles.
The medal tallies were as follows:
21 Golds
17 Silvers
15 Bronze
However, without the rowers who entered the races for the extra point, we would have not had a chance of winning the overall trophies: the percentage points trophy and overall points trophy.
This was a special year for St Luke’s as we had won the overall points trophy two years in a row and were looking to make it a third. St Luke’s comfortably won the percentage points trophy and the overall points trophy, just nine points separating us and Shalom. St Luke’s is now on a three year winning streak which is an amazing achievement for a smaller school such as St Luke’s.
All St Luke's rowers should be commended for their outstanding commitment and performances both individually and as a team throughout the day. Another thankyou goes out to all coaches and parents who gave up their time to coach students and transport boats to and from the courses.
Thanks to Mr Ian Grotherr, Mr John Pressler, and all our Coaches, Mr Pike, Mrs Hellmuth Mrs Weston and Mr Robinson for all their help.

ROWING AFTER THE HOR SERIES AS A SLAS SCHOOL SPORT...From - Peter Robinson...Head of Sport at St Luke's

I just wanted to clear up any communication problems regarding Rowing post Head of the River.
Please send this to all your SLAS Rowing Lists.

To all.
Thanks to all for a very
​s​
uccessful
​BUNDABERG RADIOLOGY ​
Head of the River Regatta Series.
Thanks to all Coaches, Parents, Grandparents and students.
After the Head of the River finishes...we always have a lot of questions.
From now on
​,​
Fees go through the club
​ and ​
not the school.
My coaches have made a commitment until the Head of the River and coaching after the HOR is totally their own choice and now through the club.
SLAS is happy to lend our boats following the Boat usage guidelines but parents and rowers will need to go through the club for all issues around communication and club regattas from now on.
My Rowing Coordinator and Coaches have a meeting on Wed afternoon where they can elect to continue as coaches or not.
We appreciate their time, but all communication from now on needs to be through your coach and not through the school.
I am thinking of a plan to employ a rowing coordinator next year, but budget restraints are holding up that process. A fee of $200 per rower may help facilitate a coordinator for the whole year.
As volunteers are hard to find.
Please look after the volunteers we have...so they continue to work for us.
any questions?
Please see details below.
Thanks
