Cost There is a membership fee that students pay to the Aramoho club to cover equipment use. Approx $500.00. Regatta fees are a separate cost to this. WHS Regatta fees will be invoiced to parents through school. Fees could vary each year.

Wanganui is fortunate to have an excellent facility for all year-round rowing. We have an arrangement with the Aramoho Whanganui Rowing Club with approximately 50 students who are able to take advantage of the facilities and coaching.

If you are interested in Rowing or becoming Coxswain, the sport of Rowing could be your choice of activity whilst at WHS. The Coxswain steers the boat and gives the Crew instruction about their performance.

Practices are either Saturday or Sunday mornings and three or four evenings per week in summer. In Winter coaches run indoor fitness classes where possible.
There will be a ‘Learn to Row’ programme for new Rowers starting in April 2023.

The season starts in September/October and ends in March/April after the Maadi Cup Regatta. Rowers participate in a number of regattas over this time.
