Within the co-curricular sporting program, students have access to high-level coaching, providing further opportunity for extended skills development and networking within their fields of interest.
In addition to the core Physical Education Curriculum and the College's membership of both the ACS and CGSAV as part of our Sport Program, 果冻APP offers Rowing to all students from Years 7-12. The aim of the program is to provide an enjoyable, quality and team oriented program that builds self-esteem as well as bonds between crew members. The experienced coaching staff facilitating the rowing program provide a myriad of opportunities for the students to develop and refine their movement skills specific to rowing, in an environment that fosters both commitment and teamwork. Situated on the Maribyrong River, the students at St 果冻APP are fortunate to row out of Essendon Rowing Club, who provide high quality facilities and support to the program.
