Rowing is the ultimate team and individual sport that challenges you physically and mentally. Rowing teachers’ valuable life and interpersonal skills such as teamwork, communication, relationships, leadership, commitment etc on and off the water. Rowing is a unique sport that is only offered in high school.
The Rowing season runs for February to September with numerous local regattas at Bucca and regional regattas at Rockhampton or Wyaralong available. Training sessions are run on the Burnett River, from the Bundaberg Rowing Club (BRC) Shed in Quay Street. Training times vary depending on the coach’s availability.
Shalom Rowing was established in 1989 by a group of rowing enthusiasts eager to pass on their passion for the sport to the students of Shalom College. Shalom Rowing is affiliated with Rowing Queensland Inc (RQ) and operates under the guidance of the Shalom Parents and Friends Association (P&F). Shalom Rowing does not have its own rowing facility. As such, Shalom Rowers, pay a Membership Fee, directly to the BRC and this allows them use of its facilities and rowing resources at the BRC Shed in Quay Street, and at the Bucca Rowing complex and participation in local school regattas.
