John XXIII Rowing Club 

Welcome all rowing families to the 2023 John XXIII rowing season. I hope you have all enjoyed a wonderful break over Christmas with your families and loved ones. Our John XXIII rowing season promises to be one filled with memorable experiences, fulfilling milestones and a range of successes in all physical, emotional and social aspects of our rowers lives. 

I am excited to be returning to the Rowing Program in the coordination role and look forward to seeing you all throughout the season at various regattas, events and trainings. We also are excited to welcome back our passionate coaching team that are so dedicated to getting the best out of all the rowers. 

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome back Ms Elinor Scott as Lead Coach (Boys) and Mr Jimmy O’Regan Lead Coach (Girls) and boatman. We are incredibly lucky to have the experience of these two leading our passionate coaching squad, who we welcome back:

This details any FAQ and other general information. John XXIII Rowing Program is a unique program that caters for both males and females. Our Season is long and without the dedication of our coaches, students and rowing families, we would not see the success that we have in the past. 

On behalf of the College, I give great thanks to our inspirational coaches, our dedicated parents and rowers and our passionate Rowing Committee for their endless behind the scenes work. 

Further communication will occur through Stack Team App and email. Our College website will have up to date information should you have any queries. I can be contact via email at Jerram.Gibson@cewa.edu.au.
