The Grade 8 PHE classes will each be participating in a Discover Rowing Day at the North Star Rowing Club at 20 Boathouse Lane, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
Members of Rowing Canada/ Row NS/ North Star RC will be supplying boats, lifejackets, and instruction on safety and introductory rowing skills. Highly trained guides/teachers will supervise the class at all times.
Each class will leave immediately after homeroom at 8:30am and walk down to the Halifax Ferry Terminal, ride the ferry to Dartmouth, and continue on walking up to the Rowing club. We will return to school by the end of the school day (approximately 3:30pm).
Students should bring their own bagged lunch with snacks and water. They should also bring a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, shorts, t-shirt, sneakers, long sleeve shirt/sweater, long pants, a full change of clothes, rain gear, and warm clothes.
