John XXIII Rowing Club
South West Rowing Tour
The South West Tour was a great success with our Years 11 and 12, boys and girls rowers making the most of the opportunity to build on their skills and fitness on the six day/five night camp held in Molloy.
The rowers also enjoyed other activities including:
- Mountain biking
- Tour of the Jewel Cave
- Margaret River mazes
- Beach runs at Hamelin Bay & Boranup
- Swimming at Meelup Beach
- Days out in Margaret River & Dunsborough
Each night the group came together to reflect and share either:
- Something they did outside of their comfort zone that impressed them
- Something they saw a teammate do that impressed them, or
- Something that they were grateful for.
The caretakers at Molloy Hideaway Holiday Park were so pleased to have our students stay at the campsite, noting how friendly, well-mannered, and committed they were. Our coaches and volunteer parents did an amazing job in ensuring the rowers had a great experience.
Year 8 Rowing Program
After a successful 'Learn to Row' last year, Year 8 students can now join the John XXIII College Rowing Club officially in Week 8 this term! Both boys and girls will train together on Monday and Wednesday afternoons during Terms 1 and 2.
