On Saturday 30 November, SHC hosted our Annual Regatta on the Barwon River. Despite the torrential downpour, we managed some amazing results on the day.

Our three Intermediate rowers joined forces with one of our Seniors and a Junior coxswain to compete in the Open Division 3 quad, placing first. What an amazing result, and a fantastic achievement for our rowers - Laura Ahearn, Riley Dalley, Rio Smith and Matilda Host, coxed by Eden Smith, who were coached by Max. Congratulations also to Rio Smith, who won the Year 9 single scull both on this day and the preceding Saturday. We are looking forward to seeing what the rest of the season will bring for all our skilful rowers.

Thank you to the amazing parents and students who supported the regatta by volunteering their time to help in running the event and selling goods, and for cheering our rowers on. Your help and support were very much welcome and appreciated.

Please see below the results from the day which featured our talented SHC rowers:
