Rowing at Westlake

scroll down for information

We welcome both returning and new rowers to the sport. Over the next few years, your son will gain valuable life, sporting, and rowing skills that will prepare him for future challenges. As Director of Rowing, I aim for every boy to succeed daily through resilience and hard work, with the rewards of consistent effort evident over the 28-week season. 

WBHS Rowing fosters a family-like atmosphere, with parents playing a vital role in supporting the boys through transportation, camp attendance, cooking, and volunteering. Our skilled and passionate coaching team, many of whom are alumni, is dedicated to helping each boy progress and enjoy the journey. The season spans terms 4 and 1, with all boys participating in the North Island Secondary School Champs and top crews advancing to the Maadi Cup. 

We look forward to seeing everyone at trainings and regattas throughout the season.
