Rowing Academy

The Cathedral School has a proud reputation as one of the leading rowing schools in Queensland, with several past students furthering their competition at a National level.

Rowing is available for boys and girls from Year 7 through to Year 12. Training is held on the Ross River which runs through our beautiful suburb of Mundingburra, a short walk from the school campus.
