1997 VIC Head of Schoolgirls' Regatta

Loreto Mandeville Hall hosted the regatta this year with a 28 event program.

Of note on the administrative side was the sponsorship of Active for Life.

Jim Spitill, Secretary of the Regatta Association noted in the program:

One of the features of this regatta is the way it continues to grow and change year by year. One reason for this is the Host School system which creates the opportunity for each school to contribute new ideas in turn. No doubt this will continue over the next three years as Sacred Heart College Geelong (1998), Firbank Anglican School (1999) and Caulfield Grammar School (2000) take up the challenge of conducting the event.

The 1997 Host School Loreto Mandeville Hall has actively pursued the area of sponsorship with the co-operation of the Victorian Rowing Association through General Manager Jane Allen. And so we have for the first time The Active for Life Head of the Schoolgirls' Regatta with VicHealth as major sponsor through its Life. Be In It program. We thank VicHealth and welcome its support. Clearly this regatta exemplifies many of the messages that VicHealth promotes. As support sponsor we welcome Clarks shoes and look forward to their on-going association with the regatta.

Jim also mentioned that the Association was in turn sponsoring the Victorian Women's Youth Eight. Eight of the nine in the crew had come to the sport through this regatta.
