Interested in Rowing or Coxing? We want to hear from you!
Registration for the 2026/2027 season will be completed below during Term 3, with the season beginning in Term 4
Rowing at Cashmere High School began in the 2012/13 season after Physical Education and Health Teacher Mrs. Ruth Anderson introduced it as an extracurricular sport. Since then, the program has grown remarkably, with a dedicated squad of over 40 rowers and coxswains. We have an active parent group and a fantastic coaching team who work together to ensure the program continues to grow and operate effectively.
Our program is built on the spirit of achievement through participation, and we welcome all students. With an athlete-centered and coach-driven structure, we provide a positive environment where rowers can develop their skills, build lifelong friendships, and have fun.
The rowing season runs from the start of Term 4 until the end of Term 1, including some training at the beginning and end of the summer holidays, with a break over Christmas and New Year. Most of our weekly training sessions are hosted at the Canterbury Rowing Club on Kerrs Reach.
