On Saturday 16 November, the NSW All Schools Rowing Regatta took place at the Sydney International Regatta Centre, where 1,440 athletes from 41 schools came together for an impressive display of rowing talent. The MVAC Rowing Team, under the guidance of head rowing coach Mr. Murray Doust, represented the school with pride, demonstrating their skills, determination, and sportsmanship during the event.
