The Caulfield Grammar Rowing Club aims to provide all students with opportunities to experience success and enjoyment. Caulfield Grammar rowing will always reward students who demonstrate commitment and cognitive application to rowing. Rowing is a highly technical sport, requiring hundreds of hours of refinement and practice to gain competency. Rowing requires extraordinary commitment and dedication; however, the rewards are equally as impressive, providing opportunities to represent Caulfield Grammar, Victoria and Australia as well as academic pathways for both domestic and international universities.

By the end of pre-season (around Sept/Oct), rowers are selected and allocated to an assigned squad. From here, the squads are divided into crews and each crew is assigned one or two coaches to guide the crews through the season of training and regattas.
The rowing season commences each year in August with a Learn to Row program for Year 8s and a GAP program for new and returning Year 9 rowers. Pre-season training commences for new and returning Year 10 and 11 rowers.
Buses are provided to and from each campus for weekday training. Parents are responsible for transporting their rower(s) to morning training sessions during the week and buses will return rowers to School. On weekends, parents are responsible for transporting rowers to and from training.
We encourage all our rowers to be respectful and friendly to our bus drivers who transport our rowers with great care.
The training schedule of all squads is published on CaulfieldLIFE or as communicated directly by coach.
Normally Junior and Recreational Rowers train at Albert Park Lake sheds; Intermediate and Senior Rowing squads train out of the Yarra River sheds.
Training arrangements can often change - due to the weather, traffic on the river, number of boats available, and for an inexplicable number of other reasons. And sometimes plans change at a moment's notice. Coaches will be in touch directly with rowers, if this is the case. And rowers will always be encouraged to relay new information to parents. But sometimes communication does get lost - so it's always good to refer to a number of sources for information - WhatsApp groups; Facebook and most importantly - the training schedule which is always on CaulfieldLIFE and is probably the first point where changes to training are made.
Camps for rowers occur in the September Holidays and at the end of January. Camps come at a cost of around $110 per day, per rower, and include all food, accommodation, and transportation. Camps held outside Victoria may incur an extra cost for flights.
All parents and crew will need to adhere to any Covid/health measures determined by Rowing Victoria or the school. Further details can be found at Rowing Victoria.
