School Leaver Survey Winners

Thank you to everyone who responded to the inaugural School Leaver Survey, and congratulations to the 3 random prize winners: Sarah Davoren, John Baker and Chloe Wheel. You should receive an email shortly.

Rowing ACT will be analysing the results of the survey over the next few months to better understand the attitudes and aspirations of rowers/coxswains aged 16-25 years old. This information can then be used to improve the retention rate of rowers/coxswains transitioning from school rowing programs into club rowing programs as well as ongoing engagement with Rowing ACT (eg as coaches and volunteers).
