New boats named in honour of our supporters

In February, the Clarendon rowing community came together to celebrate the naming of four new quad scull boats. The boat naming event was the perfect way to kick-start the 2020 Head of the Lake weekend, which also saw our rowing community celebrate 100 years since the school’s first Head of the Lake win.

Two of the boats were named in honour of Old Collegians and long-time supporters of our school, Andrew (1970) and Jill Oliver (1973), while the other two boats were named after Old Collegian and rowing coach, Ian Peele (1991), and Principal, David Shepherd.

The event was a wonderful way to celebrate these important members of the Clarendon community, whilst heightening the excitement amongst the rowers prior to the Head of the Lake competition.
