St Catherine’s News Autumn 2021
HISTORY CREATE For the first time in the history of St Catherine’s Rowing, our First VIII crew, the Fearless Girl, won the blue-ribbon event at the Head of the Schoolgirls Rowing Regatta. This excitement was shared by the Second VIII, the St Catherine’s 120, also winning the A Final in Division Two. Principal Michelle Carroll recalls “As I stood somewhat anxiously by the river during the afternoon, I proudly realised in the crowd (and watching on the live stream across the globe) that there was a sea of pale blue – the St Catherine’s community had emerged in a wave of support for our crews. Their presence was one of excitement, anticipation and visibly spoke of the unity of the St Catherine’s community.
