Kayaking

The Queensland Schools Canoeing Championships were held at Lake Coomera on Saturday 19^th October. It was great to see so many students participating in the Olympic K1 and K2 class. A special congratulations to Ethan Watman and Jack Gothorp for representing the College in the C1 and C2 canoes for the very first time. A special thank you to a number of Senior College students who did an outstanding job helping out with equipment and gaining valuable school points by competing in the older age groups.

I would like to thank numerous people who helped out with the kayaking program throughout the year. A huge thank you to Mrs Leah Croke, Mr Ben Ryan, Mrs Natalie Campbell, Mr Craig Spender, Natasha Whiteley and Jack Gothorp for helping out with the weekly training. Thank you to Brendan Casement for towing one of the trailers and Mr Baker and Mrs Watman for helping with boat repairs throughout the season. The program would not occur without the help of the many parents who regularly washed, repaired and loaded kayaks each training session.

We are still waiting on the school points but it was a magnificent team effort again in 2019.

Mr Gary Graves, Kayaking Coordinator
