Congratulations and well done to everyone involved, both on and off the court. Good luck to the two Division 1 teams that will be vying for the State Championship in two weeks time in Launceston.

Rowing 

Our Year 6, 7 and 8 rowers had an awesome time at Lake Barrington on Saturday, participating in the annual Rowing Tasmania Junior Sculling Camp and Regatta. The boys got a lot out of the event, training, racing and attending rowing workshops throughout the day. Sunday's racing was unfortunately cancelled due to bad weather, but the boys still had a blast. Well done to everyone involved, and a big thank you to all the parents and coaches that lent a hand with loading and un-loading, towing, boat driving, canteen duties and supporting all our rowers. Good luck boys in all your regattas in the weeks to come.
