The final Day Sheet for the 2018-19 season! Dates for your Diary
Maadi Cup Wrap Up Congratulations to all of our rowers on a successful Maadi finish to the season. Two thirds of our rowers raced into 13 Finals including 8 A and B Finals with a mix of boys and girls crews. It was great to have Principal Sheena Millar attend for a day to watch and support the heat races. And we wish our 3 departing rowers – Isaac, Harry and Fin all the best for any future rower endeavours and other ventures beyond school later this year. Thank you from OCRC for your involvement and leadership you have shown over your years and in particular your senior year. Maadi photos are on the website. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPA3wwzrhn2Pud5oX_mIQ_7WOf4uROoArp_EDb2tNnZcNtq92CrAwi3yhU8EoXRrQ?key=RTJwRFNOMGMwVm42NE5QSTVZZkV2eC1VTUs0Y3pB WRC Prize Giving Prize Giving is Sat 4th May, 7pm – upstairs in the function room. Onslow College rowers and parents, please come along to support the event. There are a number of Onslow College rower nominations. The prize giving is followed by a supper. Grant update Awesome news, we have been awarded both grants that we applied for in the purchase of a new Four. So, together with our own funds, the order for the boat is underway and will be available for use in the new season. New Raffle Roster From Rachael Mora: Thank you for all your efforts with the 1841 raffle over the past few months. We were able to put $1300 of the funds raised towards our transport costs for NISSC which was a great result for half an hours work each! We are continuing on with the raffle for the time being, and I have attached a new version of the roster fyi. Please check the date that you are rostered on to and put it in your diary. If you are not able to do your rostered day please arrange a swap yourself and let me know. I will send a reminder and detailed instruction out to you on the Monday prior to your rostered day, but feel free to give me a call in the meantime if you have any questions. If you are undecided about returning to rowing next season, then please consider still doing your raffle allocation, even if it is as a departing gesture of goodwill! Thanks again for your continued support Cheers, Rachael - 021 329 629 WRC Parent Rowing / Corporate Challenge Parents, if you want to experience what all the hype is about, then WRC are looking for parent crews in their corporate challenge to engage across all of the member groups. No experience necessary or age limit or the need to be competitive! See the flyer attached. Apparently Marsden and St Pats have done several parent crews before, so it would be great to have an Onslow crew or 2. If anyone is slightly mumbling interest about this, then let Stephanie know, so we can give a heads up to WRC who are wanting to sort coaching requirements.
Season Thank you! As said at our end of season celebration, a huge thank you to:
Book Fair and Season Survey The Book Fair committee have provided a brief survey that would good to get everyone’s input from. Also included are a couple of season feedback questions. Click attached link to complete. Thank you. 2019 LTR LTR will come around soon enough, so start spreading the word! Encourage the Year 9’s to come along and give rowing a go. Boat Maintenance Any further off-season boat maintenance will be communicated by your coach. Lost Property See the attached photo for the final lot of lost property from the season. Contact Stephanie if you want to claim anything. Congrats for US scholarships Congratulations again to Constance and Olivia on gaining scholarships to US Universities – Constance to Miami University and Olivia to Yale University. They both head off in August to begin their 4 year degrees and join the US Uni rowing crews. Constance intends to study Finance and Olivia to study Computer Science. OCRC wishes you all the best. Finally, have a good rowing break everyone and enjoy your winter sports. There will probably be some winter training kicking off around June / July for anyone who is interested in some land based fitness. This would be optional only. The official season will commence at the LTR programme in August, but also remember that winter sport will still take precedence until that is completed. Hope to see you all back again next season.
