2026-27 Rowing Season

Expressions of interest are now open for the 2026-27 Rowing Season. The Hamilton and Alexandra College Rowing program aims to provide an inclusive, fun and competitive program that teaches students to row and provides appropriate opportunities for competition at Victorian regattas as their skills progress. Rowing is the ultimate team sport and fosters the development of individual accountability, self-confidence, resilience, and learning to manage and cope with expectations.

In the expression of interest form, you will find a link to the 2026-27 Rowing Handbook, which outlines important information about the program, regatta dates, costs, and expectations of students.

If you have any queries, please direct them to me at jyoung@hamiltoncollege.vic.edu.au.
