Our Values, Goals and Objectives

Our Values

“To inspire accomplishment in rowing and development of character for all StAC rowers, and to enhance St Andrew’s College’s position as a leading co-educational rowing school.”

We will help the students develop the following values:

Culture
We are one squad where everyone in our community is working together for a common goal. We support one another by looking out for everyone’s well-being.

Commitment
Every member of the St Andrew’s Rowing Club will always give their best for themselves, their crew, their supporters, and their school.

Pride
Pride in how we train, how we prepare, and how we present ourselves.

Our Goals and Objectives

We will provide an environment that challenges the rowers and exposes them to success, helps them learn from their successes, failures, and pressure, both physical and mental. We want athletes that walk towards the challenge and are not scared to fail.

We will:

• support athletes that have ambitions to trial for representative teams and offer them guidance;
• encourage athletes to row beyond the St Andrew’s College rowing programme, whether at club, regional or international level;
• assist rowers to reach their full potential and develop crews capable of winning at the Secondary Schools Rowing Championships (Maadi Cup);
• maintain high standards of presentation, sportsmanship, and behaviour;
• be recognised as one of the best rowing schools in New Zealand;
• promote and actively encourage participation and growth in St Andrew’s rowing;
• develop life skills through participation in rowing.
