Snowsports

After a lengthy absence, families were excited to return to Mt Buller for the annual Korowa Race Weekend in July, and the Victorian Interschools competition in August. A highlight of the season was our transport to the Parent Dinner, travelling across the slopes via a snow cat.

Korowa Rowing Club Parent Season Launch

On a balmy night in November, the 2022/2023 Rowing Season was launched at the River Campus on the banks of the Yarra. The night was attended by our Director of Rowing, Jane Robinson along with many parents new to rowing who were keen to learn more about the sport.

Netball Club Presentation Dinner

This inaugural event enabled all Korowa netballers and their families to celebrate their successes and the Winter season together. The evening was presented by Director of Netball, Shelley O’Donnell, and special guest was Kate Moloney, Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist and Captain of the Melbourne Vixens, who was interviewed by our Netball Captains, Isabella and Olivia.

Korowa Dads

A number of events were held throughout the year, recognising the importance of dads and daughters at Korowa. These included a “Games and Gyros” night for Years 9 and 10 where parents and students were put through their paces by our Director of Netball, Shelley O’Donnell. This was followed by a traditional Greek dinner for all to enjoy.

Father’s Day

Father’s Day included a Junior School Stall providing gifts for purchase, with dads and special friends joining students for activities in the classroom finishing with an afternoon of outdoor games and a special treat for them to take home.

Year 12 Fathers and Special Friends joined their daughters for breakfast and a competitive game of Kahoot.
