A message from the Director of Rowing
Welcome to the 2008-9 rowing season
at Scotch Oakburn College
Rowing is a demanding but enjoyable sport
which requires its participants to learn a combination of skills. These include:
training for fitness, strength, technique as well as developing life skills such
as time management, respect, balance of work and play, cooperation, teamwork,
and dedication.
Encouragement of these skills can result
in a significant improvement in all aspects of your child’s development, and has
been reflected in better academic , leadership and sporting results as
demonstrated by previous Head of the River participants.
In an effort to build on the successes of
previous years we have over the winter undergone an intensive evaluation of
rowing at the school .This has been done in consultation with parents, students
and coaches , by a questionnaire circulated throughout the School community.
As a result a handbook or “Guidline “ has
been prepared . This is an on going document that may be reviewed progressively
and is designed to clearly layout the expectations we have for those who have
chosen rowing as their sport.
This we hope will answer most of the
questions you may have thought about but did not know who to ask .It is to be
used in conjunction with and referral to the Rowing website which will give you
the most up to date information on training, regatta’s etc. that we can provide.
I look forward to a very successful and
enjoyable rowing season, and take this opportunity to thank all coaches and
others assisting for their dedication and support on which we so strongly rely.
