St Virgil’s College
St Virgil’s College has a rich and proud tradition of Rowing and has shaped the careers of athletes such as Dr Scott Brennan who won gold at the Sydney Olympic Games.
Our rowing program is open to students form Year 6 (introductory program) to Year 12. The College has a dedicated rowing facility at New Town Bay Rowing Centre, equipped with rowing boats and gymnasium. St Virgil’s rowers have the opportunity to represent their College at both State and National Regattas.
Students from both St Virgil’s College and St Mary’s College share the use of equipment and training venue, and attend training and Regattas together. Rowing fundraising events are used to purchase shared equipment for both Colleges to use.

With a specialised rowing facility at the New Town Bay Rowing Centre, students have access to a fully equipped gymnasium and rowing boats that can assist them in achieving their rowing aspirations.
