Korowa Rowing

Students can participate in rowing from Years 8 -12. The Learn to Row Program in Year 8 is designed to introduce students to rowing. Following the Learn to Row program, students can select to join the Squad Program which includes participating in camps and regattas. All Korowa crews compete in the Head of the School Girls Regatta held annually in March.  

An elite pathway for athletes of outstanding ability is also available and includes club racing at State Championships and attending the Australian National Rowing Championships. 

Korowa’s Director of Rowing, Jane Robinson is a former Australian rower – a national champion, three-time World Champion and triple Olympian, she brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the program, providing students with the opportunity to participate and develop a passion for the sport. 

With the opening of our new Sports and Wellbeing Centre in 2022 and our recently completed River Campus located on the Yarra River, students have access to world class facilities. Rowing is a sport like no other, it involves developing high levels of technical and physical skills and relies on outstanding teamwork for crews to succeed. Rowers learn to be organised as the training sessions are often before school. The team nature of the sport makes our rowers accountable to each other and the friendships formed in rowing are often very strong.
