Level 1 Boat Race Official Course - Wrap Up!
On Tuesday 22.06.2021, 11 keen volunteers turned up to take part in a Level 1 Boat Race Official Course. During the evening Lynne Bayliss and Grant Ford went through the 4 components of Officiating:
- Judging;
- Marshalling;
- Control Commission;
- and Umpiring.
It was great to have so many fresh faces turn up to the evening and the feedback from all was that they learnt a lot and didn’t realise how much our officials have to do.
There was plenty of time for questions and interaction with two of our experienced officials. We're excited to say that all 11 attendees passed the exam at the end and we look forward to welcoming them to the Boat Race Official Team.
Without our officials, we wouldn’t be able to run our regattas so they are an essential part of our sport. If you would like to get involved in officiating or just learning more about the sport keep an eye out for our next course that we run and get involved.

Congratulations Presbyterian Ladies College!
2021 IGSSA WA Head of the River Winners!
Congratulations PLC on a fantastic win at the IGSSA WA Head of the River on Saturday, 26.06.2021.
Racing throughout the day was exciting & competitive. Supporters could be heard screaming for their schools from the other side of the lake. The view from the 2000m mark at the tower was spectacular watching the 1st VIII take off. The peloton following the crews as they raced down the course found it hard to keep up!
Well done to Methodist Ladies College for wonderful hosting, everything was extremely well thought out. A special congratulations goes to the girls themselves for their sportsmanship & the wonderful support they showed each other.
