Kayaking

The College has recently purchased a K4 kayak for its program. Australia has a wonderful history of doing well in team boats and won the gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics in a time of 2 minutes and 55 seconds. The K4 is being used during afterschool training on Mondays and Thursdays and enables students to improve their technique and timing by shadowing the paddler sitting in the front seat.

Currently, the kayaking team is training for the School Marathon Championships on Saturday 19^th August. Training for the sprint season will begin immediately after these championships. If you would like to be involved in the kayaking program for the sprint season, please see Mr Gary Graves or Mrs Natalie Campbell at school.

We wish the Pacific marathon kayakers all the best at the state championships later this month. Go for gold, Pacific!
