“For me, rowing started in 1984 when I was 14,” said Tania.
“At the time, I really didn’t appreciate that it was only the
fifth year that girls would have the opportunity to row.
Stepping back to the big picture, it is such a credit to all
involved that I never really considered myself anything other
than a rower. Not a girl rower, but a rower.”

boat was christened in honour of Warren, who has been a
supporter of the Clarendon rowing program for 11 years. In
2021, he also coached the Open Girls 2nds crew to victory
at the Head of the Lake.

“My reward, as a coach, is to see the smiles on the faces of
the girls when they know they have rowed to the best of
their ability,” said Warren. “Even more rewarding is looking
back on my experiences coaching both junior and senior
girls crews for over 10 years, and how my involvement has
provided positive life lessons that have guided the girls as
they grow into young adults.”

“What a legacy for the hardworking and supportive
early-adopters from 40 years ago, and everyone who has
supported schoolgirls rowing along its journey,” said Tania.
“As with life, even when we fall short, we often can look back
and think we achieved so much more than we ever thought
we could.”

awareness for the Ballarat Autism Network. The students ran
a bake sale and heard from guest speaker and committee

who provided insight into living with autism.

The leaders also coordinated an Easter raffle for the Senior
School, where students were encouraged to donate Easter
eggs for several prizes. All raffle tickets sold saw the profits

At the Junior School, students enjoyed their annual Pancake

India Armstrong is the Studio Lead for the Brand

With a team of designers and brand strategists, India creates

India’s career began during her time as a student at
Swinburne University when, following a placement with a
Melbourne studio, she was snapped up on completion of her
studies. After a few years, she moved to Barcelona to work as
a designer to enjoy the culture, food and beaches Spain had
to offer. India then moved to Berlin to further expand her
career in design.

“I can actually remember a precise point in my schooling
at Clarendon which made me change my entire career
direction,” said India. “On a field trip to see a design
conference in Melbourne, I had the opportunity to hear
designers and creatives in various industries talk about their
experiences. I was instantly hooked.”
