Welcome to the New Zealand Secondary Schools Rowing Association website. This site is aimed at providing schools and school rowers with an easily accessed resource of information about schools rowing in New Zealand.

Rowing calendars supporting NZ's Elite rowers

Robin Owens would like to say a huge thank you to all the Schools who sold rowing calendars and CONGRATULATIONS!

A grand total of $65,000 was made. Schools and Clubs received $25,000 for their fundraising efforts and they contributed $25,000 of the $40,000 that went to Elite Rowers. This meant 31 Elite Rowers each received $1290. The athletes were absolutely amazed and very happy as most of them live on very small incomes.

There was a competition for the School or Club who sold the most Calendars, which schools cleaned up:

  1. Takapuna Grammar School Won a Concept 2 Rowing machine
    This will be Presented at the Fundraising Dinner in Auckland on 24th May
  2. Christchurch Girls High School Won 2 Vouchers worth $259 each for Polar Heart Rate Monitors
  3. St Andrews College Won 1 voucher worth $259 for a Polar Heart Rate Monitor

Well done to all the winners; they all sold a lot of Calendars. As Robin says, all round it is a magnificent effort!

Maadi - Didymo A message from DOC

"There was a great response from everyone regarding the wash and a lot of interest shown in the didymo display. Congratulations once again for the tremendous effort from [South Island Rowing Inc] in the fight to stop the spread of didymo."

While every effort was made at the Maadi Cup to wash gear, there is always the possibility that some items may have been inadvertently missed. Please ensure that your boats, riggers, shoes, socks, oars etc are checked before being used again. If in doubt, please re-wash using a 5% detergent solution or leave to thoroughly dry out. Anything which is still damp and which may have missed the wash could still harbour live didymo cells. All equipment should be washed or dried when changing to another waterway. The ultimate responsibility for this rests with you!

Useful information about didymo can be found on the Bio-Security website: www.biosecurity.govt.nz.

"Snot Off" detergent is available from
