Rowing
The 2016-2017 season was very successful at all levels, based on the refining
of the training regime that was introduced last season and the commitment,
enthusiasm and dedication of rowers and coaches.
The Year 8 and 9 Quads showed great technical development during the season
and were able to transfer this into their racing each week. With a very strong
commitment at the December and January Rowing Camps, the Year 10 Squad
made great progress and were most competitive, winning 10 times and finishing
second six times in 17 races in Term 1. The highlights were the Gold Cup and
Kings Regattas where all three crews won their events.
At the Head of the River Regatta, the 10.3 VIII won their event, with the 10.1 and
10.2 crews finishing second, as did the 3rd IV. The 1st VIII produced their best
performance of the season and finished strongly in a close second place.

Surf Life Saving
Riverview Surf Life Saving made a
big change this season, moving from
Freshwater SLSC to North Steyne SLSC.
It was a fabulous season with all Bronze
Medallion and SRC candidates achieving
their respective awards in their first
attempt – a feat which was previously
unheard of. Whilst competitions were
impacted by dangerous surf and poor
weather conditions, the boys all trained
hard and improved their skills in all events.
