All aboard youth rowing initiative
Posted 18th November 2025
This week, a group of our Year 8 and Year 9 students proudly embarked on their journey with the All Aboard Youth Rowing initiative. This exciting 10-week programme is designed to build both confidence and competence, equipping our students with the skills to become outstanding rowers.
Throughout the programme, our students will master the fundamentals of rowing, including technique, teamwork, and endurance. These essential skills will prepare them to represent Team DFA at regional and national competitions, showcasing their talent in both indoor and on-water rowing regattas.
This marks a significant milestone for our school as we launch our very first rowing team. We are thrilled about the potential within this group and look forward to seeing them grow, challenge themselves, and achieve incredible success. The commitment and enthusiasm shown by our students already promise an exciting future for rowing at DFA!
