2025-26 St Margaret's College Rowing Partnership Proposal

Partnership Proposal

St Margaret’s College Rowing 2025-26 Season

St Margaret’s College Rowing St Margaret’s College empowers young women to learn, live, and lead with confidence and purpose. Sport is a powerful avenue through which their potential is unlocked.

Rowing builds resilience, teamwork, and self-discipline, while also nurturing leadership, courage, and a strong sense of identity.

These experiences extend well beyond sport, equipping girls with the confidence to thrive in the classroom, contribute meaningfully in their communities, and lead with integrity in all areas of life.
